From the biography of Cyprian and Justina

Why is it customary to turn to the martyrs Cyprian and Justina with a prayer for protection from envy, corruption, the evil eye and any negative witchcraft? The answer to this question is the biography of Saint Cyprian and Justina.

Cyprian, the future great martyr and saint, from the age of 7 was brought up in the society of pagan warlocks and became acquainted with the basics of dark sorcery (witchcraft). As a result, by the age of 30 he became a master of black magic, a skilled sorcerer. Cyprian served the forces of evil, taught everyone to do the same, and received the fame of a murderer. People approached him with requests for magical effects and were ready to pay any amount of money for his work.

In the same city lived the righteous Christian Justina. She was pure and innocent, regularly attended church, observed all the canons of the Church and called herself the bride of Christ. Somehow a rich man set his sights on her, but Justina was adamant. The rich man turned to Cyprian for help and asked him to bewitch her. The sorcerer did everything possible, sent demons and even the devil himself to Justina, subjected her relatives to terrible suffering and danger, but his attempts led to nothing. The girl continued to pray to God and ask Him for protection, and the Lord protected the righteous Christian.

When Cyprian realized that Justina would not renounce the Almighty, he broke all his ties with the master of darkness, burned all the witchcraft books and turned to the Christian faith, prayed earnestly, asking the Creator for forgiveness for all his sins. He wrote many Christian works and glorified the Lord for the rest of his life.

The saints refused to worship the pagan idol, which is why they were forced to come under persecution and endure a lot of torment and suffering for their faith. In the end, they were executed, after which their bodies were thrown into the street. The dead Cyprian and Justina were secretly taken to Rome and buried there. Miracles still continue to occur at the graves of Cyprian and Justina.

Thank you for your prayer, it will come in handy! I have Small child, I’m very afraid of all kinds of evil eyes, now I know how to protect him.

Description of life path

The philosopher Cyprian lived in Antioch. From an early age, he was given by his parents to serve the pagan deity Apollo. Upon reaching the age of 7, his mother gave him to sorcerers so that they could teach the boy witchcraft wisdom. At the age of 10, he was sent to Mount Olympus, where he prepared for priestly service. There was a huge number of idols in which the demonic army lived. Here the boy learned to cause bad weather, turn back the wind, harm orchards, send illnesses and sorrows to humanity, summon ghosts, raise the dead from their graves and talk to them. By the age of 15, he comprehended many demonic secrets and went to Argos, and by the age of 30, he perfectly mastered various methods of crime, learned astronomy, murder, and became a faithful slave of the prince of hell. The King of Darkness gave Cyprian a regiment of demons to help him. Cyprian destroyed the souls of many people by teaching disastrous sorcery: they soared through the air, walked on water, soared into the clouds on snow-white boats. People turned to him for help in enmity, revenge, and envy.

The Almighty did not want the death of Cyprian’s soul and deigned to save the great sinner. And it was like this...

There lived a girl named Justina in Antioch; her ancestors were also pagans. One day, a girl accidentally overheard a conversation between a deacon and one of the parishioners about the salvation of the soul, the incarnation of Christ, His birth from the Most Pure Virgin and Ascension to heaven after terrible suffering for the salvation of the human race. Justina’s heart sank, her soul gradually began to see clearly. The girl wanted to learn faith. She secretly came to God's abode and over time believed in Christ. Soon she convinced her parents of this, who begged the Christian bishop to baptize them in Orthodoxy. Justina's father was appointed to the rank of presbyter. Edesei lived in virtue for a year and a half, after which he peacefully completed his earthly journey. Justina loved Christ, the Heavenly Bridegroom, with all her soul, and served him through virginity, fervent prayer, fasting and strict abstinence. But the forces of darkness, seeing the girl’s virtues, caused her great troubles.

In the same city the young man Aglaid lived in luxury and worldly bustle. Having met Justina, he was struck by her beauty, and immediately lustful intentions leapt into his soul. He tried to seduce the girl, persuaded her to become his wife, spoke flattering speeches, and pursued her absolutely everywhere she went. Chaste Justina answered only one thing: “My Groom is Christ.” Aglaid decided to forcibly abduct the girl with the help of reckless friends, and one day he waylaid her on the street and forcibly dragged her into his home. People came running to the desperate cries of the girl and freed the virgin from the wicked man. Aglaid conceived a new crime: he came to Cyprian for help, promised in return large sums gold and silver. He promised to help and called to himself a spirit capable of inflaming passion for the guy in Justin’s heart. The demon calmly entered the house and tried to bite the girl’s flesh.

Justina, as usual, was praying at night and suddenly felt a storm of carnal lust in her body. Immediately, sinful thoughts arose in her and she remembered her admirer Aglaida. But she stopped short, realizing that lust had come from a demon in her chaste body. She prayed to Christ for help. The Lord helped and the girl’s heart calmed down, and the devil returned to Cyprian with bad news.

Then the sorcerer decided to send a stronger and more evil demon to the girl. He furiously attacked Justina, but she again prayed to the Almighty, abstained, fasted most strictly and again defeated the devil.

For the third time, Cyprian sent a skilled demonic prince, who accepted female image. He put on ladies' clothes and went in to Justina. He tried to seduce the girl with cunning speeches, but she recognized the evil seducer and immediately crossed herself with the Cross, prayed to the Savior and the devil immediately disappeared.

The saddened Cyprian decided to take revenge on the maiden and sent troubles to her home, to her relatives and friends, neighbors and acquaintances, killed cattle, and struck bodies with ailments and ulcers. The whole city was engulfed in disaster, people knew the reason for the great execution. They persuaded Justina to marry Aglaid and save the people. But the girl calmed them down, prayed to God, and immediately the people recovered, but they greatly mocked Cyprian’s magic. In a fit of anger, he attacked the demon, then the devil rushed at Cyprian and tried to kill him. The man remembered that demons are terribly afraid of the Sign of the Cross; he, barely alive, made the sign of the Cross over himself. The devil roared like a lion and left.

Then the sorcerer went to the bishop and begged him to perform the Sacrament of Baptism on him. Cyprian confessed his own atrocities to him and gave him the sorcery Talmuds to be burned. Bishop Anfim taught him Orthodox faith and seeing his heartfelt devotion to Christ, he immediately baptized.

Cyprian soon became a reader and was then ordained to the minor priesthood. He later became a bishop and spent the rest of his life in holiness, caring for the believers. He appointed Justina a deaconesses, and soon entrusted her with being the abbess of the monastery. Many pagans, thanks to Cyprian, accepted the Orthodox faith, thereby serving idols began to cease.

During the persecution of Christians, Cyprian and Justina were slandered and imprisoned. The man was ordered to be hanged and his body flogged, and the girl was ordered to be beaten in the face and eyes. After hellish torment, they were thrown into a bubbling cauldron of boiling water, which, surprisingly, did not harm the people. Then they were handed over to be beheaded by the sword. The bodies of the martyrs were taken to Rome and buried with honor, and in the 13th century they were transported to Cyprus. At the tombs of the holy martyrs, many healings occurred among people who flocked to them with faith.

With their prayers may the Lord heal our illnesses, both physical and mental! Amen.

Three times the villain sent demons to the maiden and three times she managed to resist their temptations. Faith in the Lord and his intercession helped her in this. Then he decided to come to her himself. But he also left disgraced. Then he said that it would be his way anyway and began to torment the girl with diseases and misfortunes.

Descended from wicked parents, he was ordained to the ministry as a child. pagan god Apollo. For seven years he was given to sorcerers to learn sorcery and demonic wisdom. At the age of ten, he was sent by his parents to prepare for priestly service on Mount Olympus. When he was fifteen years old, he began to listen to the lessons of the seven great priests, from whom he learned many secrets. Then he went to the city of Argos, where he served the goddess Hera for some time and learned many seductions from her priest. He also lived in Tavropol, serving Artemis, and from there he went to Lacedaemon. At the age of twenty, Cyprian arrived in Egypt and in the city of Memphis he studied even more sorcery and sorcery. In the thirtieth year he went to the Chaldeans and, having learned stargazing there, completed his teaching, after which he returned to Antioch, being committed in every crime.

So he became a great sorcerer and sorcerer.

He taught many his disastrous art: some to fly through the air, others to swim in boats on the clouds, and others to walk on the waters. He was revered and glorified by all pagans as the chief priest and wisest servant of their vile gods. Many turned to him in their needs, and he helped them with the demonic power with which he was filled: he helped some in fornication, others in anger, enmity, revenge, envy.

At that time, there lived in the same place, in Antioch, a girl named Justina.

She came from pagan parents: her father was an idol priest named Edesius, and her mother was called Cleodonia. One day, sitting at the window in her house, this girl, then already of age, accidentally heard words of salvation from the lips of a deacon named Prailia passing by. He spoke about the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ - that He was born of the Most Pure Virgin and, having performed many miracles, suffered for our salvation, rose from the dead with glory, ascended into heaven, sat down at the right hand of the Father and reigns forever. This sermon of the deacon fell on good soil - in the heart of Justina, and soon began to bear fruit, uprooting the thorns of unbelief in her. Justina wanted to learn the faith better and more completely from the deacon, but did not dare to seek him, restrained by girlish modesty.

She secretly went to the Church of Christ and, often listening to the word of God, with the influence of the Holy Spirit on her heart, she believed in Christ.

Soon she convinced her mother of this, and then led her elderly father to faith. Seeing your daughter's mind and hearing her words of wisdom, Edesius reasoned with himself: “Idols are made by human hands and have neither soul nor breath, and therefore how can they be gods.” Reflecting on this, one night he saw in a dream, by Divine permission, a wonderful vision: he saw a great dream - luminous angels, and among them was the Savior of the world, Christ, who said to him:

- Come to Me, and I will give you the kingdom of heaven.

Getting up in the morning, Edesius went with his wife and daughter to Christian bishop, named Ontatu, asking him to teach them the faith of Christ and perform holy baptism over them. At the same time, he related the words of his daughter and the angelic vision he himself had seen. Hearing this, the bishop rejoiced at their conversion and, having instructed them in the faith of Christ, baptized Edesius, his wife Cleodonia and daughter Justina, and then, having communed them with the Holy Mysteries, sent them away in peace.

Justina labored valiantly in keeping the commandments of the Lord and, having loved her Bridegroom Christ, served Him with diligent prayers, virginity and chastity, fasting and great abstinence.

At that time, there lived in Antioch a young man named Aglaid, the son of rich and noble parents. He lived luxuriously, completely surrendering to the vanity of this world. One day he saw Justina when she was going to church and was struck by her beauty. The devil instilled evil intentions in his heart. Inflamed with lust, Aglaid began to try by all means to gain the favor and love of Justina. She answered him:

My groom is Christ. I serve Him and for His sake I maintain my purity. He protects both my soul and body from all defilement.

Having received such a decisive refusal, Aglaid set out to kidnap Justina. One day, when Justina was returning home, Aglaid and his accomplices waylaid the girl, grabbed her and tried to take her away, but she resisted, the neighbors came running to the cry and took the girl away from the villains. The ashamed Aglaidas went to Cyprian in last hope achieve what you want. He promised the priest a lot of gold and silver, just to get the immaculate Justina. After listening to Aglaidas, Cyprian consoled him, promising to fulfill his desire.

I will make sure that the girl herself will seek your love and will feel a passion for you even stronger than you do for her.

- he said.

Having sent the hopeful Aglaid home, Cyprian called evil spirit and told him about his concern, to which the spirit answered him:

This is not a difficult task for me, for I have shaken cities many times, destroyed walls, destroyed houses, caused bloodshed and parricides, created enmity and great anger between brothers and spouses, and brought many who took a vow of virginity to sin!

The demon gave Cyprian a magic potion and said:

Here, take this and give it to that young man - let him sprinkle it on Justina’s house. You will see that what I say will come true.

Cyprian gave the devil's gift to Aglaid and taught him as the demon told him. Soon Aglaid was already standing under Justina’s house, spraying a witch’s potion. When this was done, the prodigal demon entered there with kindled arrows of carnal lust in order to wound the girl’s heart with fornication and inflame her flesh with unclean lust.

Justina had the custom of offering prayers to the Lord every night. And so, when, as usual, she woke up at three o’clock in the morning and prayed to God, she suddenly felt excitement and a storm of bodily lust in her body. She remained in such excitement and internal struggle for quite a long time: the young man Aglaid came to her memory, and bad thoughts were born to her.

But, in her prudence, Justina realized that this struggle arose in her from the devil. She immediately turned to the weapon of the sign of the cross, ran to God with warm prayer and, calling out to Christ from the depths of her heart, put the enemy to shame. Defeated by her prayer, he fled in shame, and calm again came in Justina’s body and heart. The flame of lust went out, the struggle stopped, the boiling blood calmed down.

The evil spirit returned to the priest and reluctantly reported that he had achieved nothing:

I could not overcome her because I saw a certain sign on her, which I was afraid of.

Then Cyprian summoned a second demon. He went and did much more than the first, attacking the girl with greater fury. But she armed herself with warm prayer and took upon herself an even stronger feat:

She put on a hair shirt and mortified her flesh with abstinence and fasting, eating only bread and water. Having thus tamed the passions of her flesh, Justina defeated the devil and drove him away in shame.

Having learned from the second demon that he also failed to cope with the assigned crime, Cyprian called on one of the demonic Princes. He strictly reproached the former demons for their lack of skill in this matter and for their inability to ignite passion in the girl’s heart. Having reassured Cyprian and promised to seduce the girl in other ways, the demonic prince took on the appearance of a woman and entered Justina. And he began to talk piously with her, as if wanting to follow the example of her virtuous life and chastity. So, while talking, he asked the girl what the reward could be for such strict life and for maintaining cleanliness. Justina replied that the reward for those who live chastely is great and indescribable, and it is very surprising that people do not care the least about such a great treasure as angelic purity. Then the devil, revealing his shamelessness, began to seduce her with cunning speeches:

How could the world exist? How would people be born? If Eve had remained pure, how would the human race multiply? A truly good deed is a marriage that God Himself established; The Holy Scriptures praise him, saying: “Marriage is honorable for everyone and the bed is undefiled.” And weren’t many of God’s saints married, which the Lord gave to people as a consolation, so that they would rejoice in their children and praise God?

Listening to these words, Justina recognized the cunning seducer - the devil, and more skillfully than Eve, she defeated him.

Without continuing the conversation, she immediately resorted to the protection of the Cross of the Lord and placed its honorable sign on her face, and turned her heart to Christ, her Bridegroom.

And the devil immediately disappeared with even greater shame than the first two demons.

In great confusion, the proud prince of demons returned to Cyprian. Cyprian, having learned that he had not managed to do anything, said to the devil:

Is it really possible that you, a strong prince and more skilled than others in this matter, could not defeat the maiden? Which of you can do anything with this invincible girl’s heart? Tell me, with what weapon does she fight you, and how does she make your strong strength weak?

Defeated by the power of God, the devil reluctantly confessed:

We cannot look at the sign of the cross, but we run from it, because it, like fire, scorches us and drives us far away.

Cyprian was indignant at the devil for disgracing him and said:

Such is your strength that even a weak maiden can defeat you!

Then the devil, wanting to console Cyprian, made another attempt: he took on the image of Justina and went to Aglaid in the hope that, mistaking him for the real Justina, the young man would satisfy his desire, and thus neither his demonic weakness would be revealed, nor Cyprian would be disgraced. And so, when the demon came to Aglaid in the form of Justina, he jumped up in unspeakable joy, ran up to the imaginary virgin, hugged her and began to kiss her, saying:

It’s good that you came to me, beautiful Justina!

But as soon as the young man uttered the word “Justina,” the demon immediately disappeared, not being able to bear even the name of Justina. The young man was very frightened and, running to Cyprian, told him about what had happened.

After this, Cyprian began to take revenge for his shame and with his sorcery brought various disasters on the house of Justina and on the houses of all her relatives, neighbors and acquaintances. He killed their cattle, struck their slaves with plagues, and thus plunged them into excessive sorrow. He struck Justina herself with the disease, so that she lay in bed, and her mother cried for her. Justina consoled her mother with the words of the prophet David:

I will not die, but will live and proclaim the works of the Lord.

Cyprian brought disaster not only on Justina and her relatives, but also on the entire city, by God’s permission, as a result of his indomitable rage and great shame. Ulcers appeared on animals and various diseases among people; and, through demonic action, a rumor spread that the great priest Cyprian would execute the city for Justina’s resistance to him. Then the most honorable citizens came to Justina and angrily urged her not to grieve Cyprian any more and to marry Aglaidas, in order to avoid even greater disasters because of her for the whole city. She calmed everyone down, saying that soon all the disasters caused by Cyprian with the help of demons would stop. And so it happened.

When Saint Justina prayed earnestly to God, immediately all demonic obsession ceased. All were healed of ulcers and recovered from diseases.

When such a change took place, people glorified Christ, and they mocked Cyprian and his magical cunning, so that out of shame he could no longer appear among people and avoided meeting even his acquaintances. Convinced that nothing could defeat the power of the sign of the cross and the Name of Christ, Cyprian came to his senses and said to the devil:

O destroyer and seducer of all, source of all uncleanness and defilement! Now I have recognized your weakness. For if you fear even the shadow of the cross and tremble at the Name of Christ, then what will you do when Christ Himself comes upon you? If you cannot defeat those who cross themselves, then whom will you tear out of the hands of Christ? Now I have realized what a nonentity you are - you are not even able to take revenge! Having listened to you, I, the unfortunate one, was seduced and believed your cunning. Get away from me, you damned one, get away, for I should beg the Christians to have mercy on me! I should turn to pious people so that they can save me from death and take care of my salvation! Get away, get away from me, lawless one, enemy of truth, opponent and hater of all good!

Hearing this, the devil rushed at Cyprian and wanted to kill him, but Cyprian remembered how Justina fought with demons and exclaimed:

God of Justina, help me!

Then, raising his hand, he crossed himself, and the devil immediately jumped away from him, like an arrow shot from a bow.

Having gathered his courage, Cyprian became bolder and, calling on the name of Christ, made the sign of the cross and stubbornly resisted the demon, cursing and reproaching him. The devil roared like a lion and soon fled.
Cyprian took all his books of magic and went to the Christian bishop Anthimus. Falling at the feet of the bishop, he begged for mercy and holy baptism on him, and gave him his books to be burned. Seeing his humility, the bishop taught him and instructed him in the holy faith, and then ordered him to prepare for baptism. He burned his books in front of all believing citizens.

Having learned about this, Saint Justina thanked God, distributed a lot of alms to the poor and made an offering to the church. On the eighth day the bishop made Cyprian a reader, on the twentieth a subdeacon, on the thirtieth a deacon, and a year later he ordained him a priest.

Cyprian completely changed his life, every day he increased his exploits and, constantly mourning his previous evil deeds, improved and ascended from virtue to virtue. He was soon made a bishop and in this rank he led such a holy life that he became equal to many great saints.

And so many wicked people came to the ruler Eutholmius, who owned those countries, and slandered Cyprian and Justina, accusing them of being hostile to the gods, the king and all authorities - that they confuse the people, deceive them and lead them after them, disposing to the worship of the crucified Christ. At the same time, they asked the governor to betray Cyprian and Justina for this. death penalty! Having heard the request, Eutolmius ordered to seize Cyprian and Justina and put them in prison. Then, going to Damascus, he took them with him for trial. When the prisoners of Christ Cyprian and Justina were brought to trial, he asked Cyprian:

Why did you change your former glorious activities, when you were a famous servant of the gods and brought many people to them?

Saint Cyprian told the ruler how he recognized the weakness and seduction of demons and understood the power of Christ, of which the demons fear and tremble, disappearing from the sign of the honorable cross, and also explained the reason for his conversion to Christ, for Whom he showed readiness to die b.

The tormentor did not take Cyprian’s words into his heart, but not being able to answer them, he ordered the saint to be hanged and his body planed, and Saint Justina to be beaten on the lips and eyes. Throughout their long torment, they unceasingly confessed Christ and endured everything with thanksgiving. Then the tormentor imprisoned them and tried with gentle admonition to return them to idolatry. When he was unable to convince them, he ordered them to be thrown into the cauldron. But the boiling cauldron did not cause them any harm, and they, as if in a cool place, glorified God. Seeing this, one idol priest named Athanasius said:

In the name of the god Asclepius, I, too, will throw myself into this fire and shame those wizards.

But as soon as the fire touched him, he died immediately.

The torturer was frightened and, not wanting to judge them anymore, sent the martyrs to the ruler Claudius in Nicomedia, describing everything that happened to them. This ruler condemned them to be beheaded by the sword. When they were brought to the place of execution, Cyprian asked himself time for prayer, so that Justina would be executed first: he did not want Justina to be afraid at the sight of his death. She joyfully bowed her head under the sword and reposed before her Bridegroom, Christ. Seeing the innocent death of these martyrs, a certain Theoktistus, who was present there, greatly regretted them and, having inflamed his heart towards God, fell to Saint Cyprian and, kissing him, declared himself a Christian. Together with Cyprian, he was immediately condemned to beheading.

So they gave their souls into the hands of God. Their bodies lay unburied for six days.

Some of the wanderers who were there secretly took them and took them to Rome, where they gave them to a virtuous and holy woman, Rufina, a relative of Claudius Caesar. She buried with honor the bodies of the holy martyrs of Christ Cyprian, Justina and Theoctistus. At their graves many healings took place and today people come to the Church of Saints Cyprian and Justinia inMeniko for help against witchcraft and evil spirits.

With their prayers may the Lord heal our illnesses, both physical and mental!

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the life of Cyprian, a man who was able to change his destiny thanks to faith. During the reign of Decius, the philosopher, sorcerer, and famous sorcerer Cyprian, born in Corthage, lived in Antioch.

WITH early years wicked parents tried to make the future martyr Cyprian a pagan priest who was supposed to serve Apollo. Over the course of many years, he comprehended various demonic transformations, learned to study the properties of air, influence the weather, cause thunder, rain, cause storms, harm crops, send diseases and other evils to people, magic became subject to him.

Over time, the future father Cyprian became a friend of demons, causing harm to people, seducing the weak.

Unfortunately, he managed to destroy many with his sorcery. One day, Cyprian of Corinth volunteered to help a bad and rich man who desired Justina, who was a Christian. The sorcerer entered into contact with demons and gave the young man a special vessel, the contents of which were to be sprinkled on the door of an Orthodox believer.

However, the girl prayed earnestly and did not fall into sin even after the demonic prince personally came to her. Having failed to achieve success in his cause, a quarrel arose between the future martyr Cyprian and the demonic prince, as a result of which the former almost died. And the sign of the cross saved him in this situation. After which Saint Cyprian decided to discard his past life and was baptized, repenting of his sins, magic was forgotten. The Lord forgave him the sin of witchcraft.

Unfortunately, Father Cyprian was subsequently persecuted and tortured for his faith, and the life of the former sorcerer ended in a cruel execution.

Hundreds of years have passed, and St. Cyprian still provides support to Orthodox Christians, it is enough to pray diligently and have strong faith.

They pray for protection from black magic, witchcraft, love spells and evil people. Also, through the prayers of Saints Cyprian and Justina, many Christians got rid of evil spirits, received protection from demonic temptations, they pray for the admonition of people involved in the occult, magic, fortune telling, etc.

Cyprian and Justina are respected saints for the Christian people. And since ancient times, legends have been circulating about them and not only on Russian land. They lived in the second half of the 3rd - early 4th centuries. Cyprian's homeland is the city of Antioch, located on the northern side of Syria.
The legend says that Cyprian was a unique person. His hobby is teaching philosophy, and what is even more interesting is witchcraft (witchcraft, prediction). He studied this in Greece and Egypt. A person who was lucky enough to meet Cyprian on his life’s path was sure to be surprised by his knowledge of secret teachings. Constantly traveling, the saint showed many miracles to the people.

Returning home to Antioch, Cyprian continued to do things incomprehensible to the human mind. In those very years, the daughter of a pagan priest lived here, her name was Justinya. The girl learned about Christian affairs by chance: she heard a deacon passing near her house, talking about Christ. And it so happened that the news received sank so deeply into Justinya’s soul that the young pagan woman herself began to look for where to learn more about Christ. The girl fell in love with listening to the word of God and visiting the Christian church. And when the time came, she was baptized. And her faith was so strong and her word so powerful that Justina’s mother and father stepped over to the side of the Christian faith. And so the pagan priest, after receiving baptism, was ordained a presbyter, and his place of residence became the pious dwelling of a true Christian.

Young Justina had unearthly beauty, so many pagan (and not only) young men paid attention to her. Among them was a young man called Aglaid. He asked the girl to become his wife, but she had already decided to give her life to Christ and tried in every possible way to avoid Aglaid. But it's not that simple. The man continued to try to get his way. He turned to the sorcerer Cyprian, whose miracles made people believe that he was omnipotent.

Cyprian was inspired by the idea because it was so tempting to receive a rich reward. He used all the knowledge he received in sorcery, trying to force Justina to reciprocate the young man who fell in love with her. Cyprian called all the demons for help. But that didn't help either. The girl continued to remain adamant, and no temptations or tricks influenced her decision.

At the same time, a pestilence appeared. Rumors spread that it was the sorcerer Cyprian who was angry at Justina’s inaccessibility and was now taking revenge on the entire city, inflicting an incurable disease on its inhabitants. Everyone, from young to old, was frightened and came to Justinya with accusations of what had happened, they begged Aglaida to become her wife. But the girl continued to stand her ground. She calmed the people, promising that the Creator would protect everyone from illness. And as soon as she prayed, the disease left her native land.

This victory was not only a triumph for the local residents, but also a shame for Cyprian, who was convinced that he knew all the secrets of the nature surrounding him, and considered himself a powerful sorcerer. On the one hand, this is true. On the other hand, this combination of circumstances saved a person from delusions and wasting his skills. At that moment Cyprian realized that something higher was standing over him, and his mysterious art was not as strong as he thought. It was as if enlightenment had arrived. Cyprian realized that the faith professed by Justina is everything, and sorcery is empty space.

From that moment Cyprian began to become convinced that prayer and the banner of the cross are weapons in the hands of a believer. In order to understand the faith more deeply, he turned to the bishop of Christians, Anfim, who listened to all the man’s misconceptions and began to teach the fundamentals of the Christian faith. Cyprian embarked on the path of worshiping the Son of God, and then received Holy Baptism. Soon he became a bishop. At the same time, Justina was ordained as a deaconesses and took responsibility for the community of all Christian virgins.

Cyprian and Justina loved God so much that even the anger of the persecutors of Christianity did not stop their teachings about faith. The local regional governor, Eutolomius, sent the believers to the former emperor of Nicomedia, where in 304 their lives fell sharp sword. The martyrs and saints were revered by the ancient Church. Cyprian and Justinia were not only famous, they even wrote poems about them.

Residents of Cyprus often turn to the saint with exorcism; priests often receive requests to read these prayers. All this is justified, because Cyprian, to carry out his miracles, conjured and cast out demons. And the circumstances were such that he became a furious persecutor of dark forces. When addressing the great martyr, we must be very attentive to what is in our souls. Before going to Cyprian, you must definitely confess, only in this way can a person understand what he really needs. The prayers that the priest reads are a request to the saint that the Almighty grant us that without which our life is so disappointing.
