Радио ВЕРА - Мученица Анисия Солунская - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

Mch. Anisia lived in the city of Thessaloniki (Thessaloniki) during the reign of the emperor. Maximian (284-305). After the death of her parents, who raised her in the spirit of Christian piety, Anisia distributed her property to the poor and began to lead a strict life of vigil, fasting and prayer. During the persecution of Christians, Maximian issued an edict according to which everyone had the right to kill a Christian with impunity. One day, when Anisia was going to the temple to pray, a pagan warrior stopped her and demanded that she go to the pagan sun festival. Anisia meekly refused. When the warrior boldly grabbed her and tried to tear the veil from her head, she pushed him away, spat in his face and said: “May my Lord Jesus Christ forbid you!” The warrior, in a rage, drew his sword and pierced the holy martyr. Those gathered over her body cried and loudly murmured at the cruel emperor who issued such an inhumane decree. Christians buried the martyr near the city gates.
