Перенесение мощей святых мучеников Инны, Пинны и Риммы

These holy martyrs came from the northern countries, from the barbarian land 4073. They were disciples of the Apostle Andrew and converted many of the barbarians from the veneration of idols to faith in Christ. For this they were captured and presented to the ruler of the barbarians, who wanted to seduce them with various temptations and flattering promises, but they did not bow to the honors offered to them and were beaten without mercy for their firmness in faith in Christ. Since at that time there was a severe winter and the rivers were so frozen that they could be crossed on ice, straight trees were placed in the middle of the river and fixed on the ice and the holy martyrs were tied to them. When the ice began to bend under the weight of the trees, the water rose to their necks, and in this position they gave up their holy souls to the Lord. Some Christians then buried their bodies, but then the bishop 4074 took them out of the grave and, taking them on his shoulders, laid them in his church. Seven years after their death, the holy martyrs appeared to the same bishop and ordered him to transfer their relics to a place called Alix, to a dry refuge 4075. In the Monthly Dictionary of Emperor Basil it is said that these holy martyrs were from Scythia, from its northern borders, and according to prof. E. Golubinsky (History of the Russian Church, vol. I, first half, ed. 2, p. 31 and note 2) they came from Dorian Gothia, which occupied a narrow coastal strip of land in present-day Crimea between Balaklava and Sudak. In the Slavic edition of the month book of Emperor Basil, this bishop is called Godla, and the name Godla is Gothic. Alix is ​​the current Alushta, located on the Black Sea coast 42 versts northeast of Yalta. "Dry haven" means a sea pier. You might be interested in:
