He was born in the city of Caesarea, Palestine. He became a monk under the guidance of a holy man living on mount el-Safina (The ship). He fought a great and strenuous fight with many ascetic worships.</p><p>An evil woman heard of him, and she wanted to entice him to fall in sin with her. She put on ragged clothes and waited until the evening, then knocked on the door of his cell, weeping, pretending that she had lost her way. She asked him to let her stay with him until the morning. After much insistence he allowed her in and placed her in a secluded place of the cell. In the morning he went to her to dismiss her but he found that she had adorned and perfumed herself. She started tempting him to commit sin with her. He went outside the cell and lit a great fire and started throwing himself in the fire time after time saying to himself: \"If you can't bear the pain of a little fire, how can you bear the torment of the fire of hell?\" When the woman saw that she was terrified, took off her expensive raiment, and put on her ragged clothes. Then she came and knelt at his feet begging for his pardon and forgiveness. She promised him that she would spend the rest of her life in repentance. He advised her to join the convent in Bethlehem.</p><p>But as for St. Martinianus, fearing the artifices of the enemy of good, he went to an island in the middle of the sea and dwelt there. However, a ship was wrecked nearby the island, and a woman managed to hang on to one of the planks, and the waves washed her to this island. When the Saint saw her, he gave her all what he had of bread. Then he crossed himself with the sign of the cross, and threw himself in the sea, hanging on the wooden plank and he put himself in the hand of the Almighty. The waves threw him on land, and he decided not to settle in one place he wandered about in the mountains and deserts for two years. When he felt that his departure drew near, he went to Athens where he became seriously ill. He asked to see the bishop, and told him all what had happened to him then he gave up his spirit in the hand of the Lord. They shrouded him and buried his pure body with great veneration.</p><p>The blessing of his prayers be with us all and glory be to our God for ever. Amen.</p>"}]},{"id":1,"title":"Psalm & Gospel","introduction":"Stand in the fear of God and listen to the Holy Gospel.
