On June 10 (23), the Orthodox Church celebrates the day of remembrance of the holy martyr Antonina and the holy martyr Alexander.

Saint Antonina was from the city of Krodamna in Asia Minor. The ruler of the city, Fist, forced her to renounce the Christian faith and worship pagan gods, but achieved nothing and gave her to the soldiers to mock.
One of the warriors, Saint Alexander, helped Antonina escape from prison by giving her clothes to cover her. The deception was exposed, and Alexander appeared in court. Saint Antonina also came to court. Together with Alexander, she was given over to torture.
Alexander and Antonina's hands were cut off, their bodies were coated with tar and thrown into a pit with fire. According to legend, Fist himself became numb after this, could not eat or drink, and seven days later he died in great agony.
