Saint Moura, also known as Mart Moura, is a martyr of the 1st centuries of Christianity honored in the Middle East. Her feast is celebrated on 3 May and on 25 September. Several churches are dedicated to her, especially in northern Lebanon, as well as a monastery in Ehden. ==Life== Father Youakim Moubarac presents the life of Mart Moura as follows:〔Moubarac,Youakim (1984), ''Pentalogie Antiochienne / Domaine Maronite'' - Tome II - Volume I - page 39. Editor Cenacle Libanais - Beirut - Lebanon.〕 ... Moura is a Christian from Upper Egypt married to a deacon called Timothy. When Diocletianus came to power and wanted to erase any trace of Christianity, the governor Urban invited Timothy and his wife to embrace paganism. They refused with courage, were crucified and died from slow death around 283. It is also supposed that this martyrdom took place under Decius... The martyrdom of Timothy and Moura took place in Ansena, a city of Upper Egypt known as Antinopolis in the Roman world.〔Kamel, Girgis (1999), ''Antinoepolis, The City of The Pharaoh’s Sorcerers'', Agape Editions.〕 If the martyrdom of Saint Moura took place under Decius, then it should have been prior to June 251, the date of the death of this emperor. If the martyrdom's presumed date of 283 AD is correct, it should then have taken place under the reign of Carus or his sons Carinus and Numerian. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saint Moura」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
