Holy Martyrs Inna, Pinna and Rimma

Sts. Inna, Pinna and Rimma (Feast Day - January 20)

Verses

The athletes of the Lord were received with warmth,
Icy Inna, Pinna and Rimma.

These three Holy Martyrs were from a certain land situated in the northern regions. Being disciples of the Apostle Andrew, they helped convert many Goths who had settled around the Danube River, near Varna in Bulgaria. After being captured by the idolatrous barbarians, they were brought before the leader of the land. Having confessed Christ, they were sentenced to die by being exposed to the cold.


First these Saints were suspended in an upright position on wooden poles in the middle of the river. This is because it was winter time, and the slippery ice could not support the mass of their motionless weight. Enduring such torment, the blessed ones delivered their souls into the hands of God, and received the crown of martyrdom. They are reputed to be the first group of Slavic martyrs recorded in ecclesiastical history.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
