(AWR) — Saint Demiana, a fourth century martyr and Christian saint, holds a very special place in the heart of Egyptian Christians.
Not only is Saint Demiana the focus of a yearly festival commemorating her torture and martyrdom at the hands of Emperor Diocletian, hundreds of thousands of Christians also keep a picture of her in their homes to seek her intercession.
