Marinus of Caesarea : ウィキペディア英語版 | Marinus of Caesarea
Marinus of Caesarea was a Roman soldier and a Christian martyr. ==Life== A soldier in a Roman legion, Marinus was promoted to the position of centurion.〔(Eusebius Pamphilius, "The Martyrdom of Marinus at Caesaria", ''Church History'', Chap. XV, CCEL )〕 Before he was able to assume the post, a rival claimed that before a centurion could accept the post, he was to offer a sacrifice to the emperor, according to ancient law. Marinus, who until that point was a secret Christian, professed his true faith, and explained that it prevented him from offering this sacrifice. Marinus was then given three hours to change his decision. He went to a local church to speak with the bishop, who went by the name of Theotecnus. After meditating on the Gospels, Marinus returned to the legion and refused to make the sacrifice. He was then beheaded.〔("Martyr Marinus the Soldier at Caesarea in Palestine", Orthodox Church in America )〕
