Monastery Of Saint Mina
The Monastery of Saint Mina is a monastery of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria located in the Western Desert near Alexandria. It is dedicated to Saint Menas. The modern monastery is built close to the ruins of Abu Mena, the original pilgrimage site dating from the mid-7th century. History Following the execution of Saint Mina, his sister brought his body to a church in Alexandria. When the time of persecution ended, during the papacy of Pope Athanasius of Alexandria, an angel appeared to the Pope and ordered him to load the saint's body on a camel and head towards the Western Desert. At a certain spot near a water well at the end of Lake Mariout, not far from Alexandria, the camel stopped and wouldn't move. The Christians took this a sign from God and there buried Saint Mina's body after placing it in a silver coffin. The coffin was later placed inside decay-resistant wood and buried at the same location. Most versions of the story state that the location of the tomb ...

San Menna
San Menna (Italian: ''Saint Menas'') was an ancient church in Rome, formerly located along the Via Ostiensis which led to the Basilica of Saint Paul. It appears to have been destroyed at some point after the tenth century. Location In the eighth century, the anonymous pilgrim of Einsiedeln pointed out that there existed a church dedicated to the Egyptian martyr Saint Menas on the Ostian Way, a little before reaching the Basilica of Saint Paul. The church was connected to the famous portico that led from Porta San Paolo into the Ostian Basilica, as is evidenced from the pilgrimage itineraries of the seventh century: ''inde per porticum usque ad ecclesiam Mennae, et de Menna usque ad s. Paulum Apostolum.'' A precise location for the church may be next to a small bridge (''ponticello'') along the ''porticus'' that spanned the Almone, a small river that used to flow into the Tiber from the east, but is today diverted. The church was one of a series of auxiliary structures that were bu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Minias Of Florence
Saint Minias (''Minas, Miniatus'') ( it, Miniato, hy, Մինաս) (3rd century) is venerated as the first Christian martyr of Florence. The church of San Miniato al Monte is dedicated to him. According to legend, he was an Armenian king or prince serving in the Roman Army – or making a penitential pilgrimage to Rome – who had decided to become a hermit near Florence. He was denounced as a Christian and in 250 AD brought before Emperor Decius, who was persecuting Christians. Miniato refused to sacrifice to the Roman gods, and was put through numerous torments – he was thrown into a furnace, was lapidated, and was thrown to a lion or a panther at an amphitheater – from which he emerged unharmed. Finally, he was beheaded near the present Piazza della Signoria, but his legend states that he picked up his own head. Miniato then crossed the Arno and returned to his hermitage on the hill known as ''Mons Florentinus'' (Monte di Firenze). Veneration Minias’ relics rest in ...
