St Marina IconoGraphic (Depart from Me O Lawless One) | Saint Beating the Devil with a Hammer | Orthodox Christian HoodieThe peculiarity which distinguishes the Great Martyr Marina from other holy virgins, and even men, is that the girl made active physical resistance to Satan. After entering into single combat with him, Saint Marina continued to pray. Noticing a copper hammer lying in the corner of the dungeon, she grabbed it and began to beat Satan on the head with it, holding him by the horns, and stepping on his neck, Saint Marina said: Depart from me, O lawless

you have no need to have anything written to you

or out of the body I do not know

The god of a glutton is his belly

the Passover of the Lord

and constantly rejuvenates

The spectators began to shout

sanctify all who bow down before thee and glorify Christ

- Matthew 24:9-25

through the free will that man gives God

for driving away all enemies

Everything in man is old

Who saved us
