This Martyr contested in Byblos of Syria during the reign of Diocletian, in 289.
Because she taught other young maidens to turn from the idols to Christ,
she was brought before the governor. Her ears were pierced with heated
spits until blood ran from her nostrils; finally she was beheaded,
at the age of ten or twelve.
Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone:
O Lord Jesus, unto Thee Thy lamb doth cry with a great voice: O my Bridegroom,
Thee I love; and seeking Thee, I now contest, and with Thy baptism am crucified
and buried. I suffer for Thy sake, that I may reign with Thee; for Thy sake
I die, that I may live in Thee: accept me offered out of longing to Thee
as a spotless sacrifice. Lord, save our souls through her intercessions,
since Thou art great in mercy.
Kontakion in the
Third Tone:
With the sprinkling of thy blood was thou made pure, O fair virgin, and with
crowns of martyrdom thou art crowned, O Aquilina; Christ thy Bridegroom, Who
doth well forth life everlasting for this cause hath given thee to those in
afflictions, for the healing of their illness and their salvation when they
in faith flee to thee.
