St. Marinos the cross dresser

Marina’s mother died when she was very young. When she was older, her father prepared to marry her off and join a monastery. Marina didn’t fancy that. She shaved her hair, joining her father as a monk, Marinos.

During the funeral prayers for Marinos, one of the monks, who was blind in one eye, reportedly received full sight again after he touched her body.
