The Holy Martyr Golinduc.
Saint Golinduc was a Persian, living in the reign of Chosroës II, King of Persia (590–628), and of Maurice, Emperor of New Rome (582–602). Moved by a divine revelation to become a Christian, she was betrayed to Chosroës by her husband and was cast into a dungeon called Oblivion for eighteen years, withstanding all attempts to make her deny Christ, and preserved by the grace of God. Set at liberty through the visitation of an Angel, she went to Jerusalem, and then to Constantinople, where she fell asleep in peace. She was called Mary in holy Baptism.
