1. ST. MINA - THE WONDER WORKER
Father was a rich Governor, loved by the people
Mother loved God, but had no children
Sad seeing other children, prayed before St. Mary’s icon
A voice saying: "Amen”
The Lord gave them a son, they named him “Mina” (Amen)
At 14 yrs old, both parents died

2. ST. MINA - THE WONDER WORKER
Made governor, joined the army
Even though rich, devoted life to praying & fasting
Everyone ordered to worship idols
Went to desert, saw heaven open & martyrs with beautiful crowns
Returned to the city, confessed his faith & was martyred
Sister took body on a ship
Sea beasts attacked the ship, fire came from St. Mina’s body burned beasts

3. ST. MINA - THE WONDER WORKER
Lord commanded for camel to carry body to burial place
Governor took the Saint’s body in battle, he won over his enemies

Many other miracles
Pope Kyrillos 6th was a very close friend of St. Mina!
