Byzantine Saints: Martyr Charitina of Amisos (5 October)

About this sermon

In this video, we recount the inspiring and faith-filled life of St. Chitina (Khitine) of Amisos, a young Christian virgin-martyr who lived during the reign of Emperor Diocletian (284–305). Orphaned at a young age, she became the servant and spiritual daughter of a noble Roman Christian named Claudianus. Known for her humility, kindness, and steadfast devotion to Christ, St. Chitina brought many to the path of salvation through her example and teaching. Despite never being baptized, her heart belonged fully to Christ, and she vowed to keep her virginity as His bride. When brought before the Roman governor Domitius, she boldly confessed her Christian faith, enduring severe tortures, miraculous deliverances, and ultimately martyrdom rather than deny Christ. Her relics were later found in Kos, Cyprus, and Jerusalem, testifying to the enduring veneration of this holy saint. Today, we remember her courage, purity, and unwavering love for God. https://www.oca.org/saints/lives #SaintChitina #MartyrChitina #OrthodoxSaints #ChristianMartyrs #LivesOfTheSaints #OrthodoxFaith #EarlyChurch #VirginMartyr #Amisos #OrthodoxChristianity #October5Saints #EasternOrthodox #HolyMartyrs 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 ✝️ SUPPORT THE MISSION 🙏 Donate https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 📬 Free Catholic Newsletter https://sensusfidelium.com/newsletter/ 📰 Read on Substack https://sensusfidelium.substack.com/ ──────────────────── 📺 WATCH & READ 📺 Sensus Fidelium App https://sensusfidelium.tv/ 📚 Sensus Fidelium Press https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ 👕 Official Merchandise https://sensusfidelium.com/merchandise/ ──────────────────── 🤝 PARTNER WITH US 📣 Advertise on Sensus Fidelium https://sensusfidelium.com/advertise-with-sensus-fidelium/ 🎤 Invite Steve Cunningham to Speak https://sensusfidelium.com/speaking/ ⛪ Parish Formation & Consultation https://sensusfidelium.com/for-parishes/ ──────────────────── 🌎 CATHOLIC COMMUNITY ✝️ Trusted Catholic Businesses https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
