Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory Forever!
On July 17, the Orthodox Church commemorates the Holy Great Martyr Marina.
The readings appointed for the day are 1 Corinthians 7:35–8:7 and Matthew 15:29–31. Saint Paul directs our hearts toward undivided service to the Lord and teaches that love must guide all knowledge. In the Gospel, Christ receives the afflicted with mercy, heals them, and moves the gathered people to glorify God.
The witness of Great Martyr Marina teaches that faithfulness is not merely spoken but lived through perseverance, purity of heart, and trust in Christ. Her commemoration strengthens us to carry the Cross with hope and to seek the Lord in every circumstance.
The next Orthodox livestream will take place on July 19, 2026, at 6:30 p.m.
