St Marina The Monk - The Hidden Crown
What happens when a woman dares to step through the monastery gates, disguised as a man, to live a life of prayer?
In this cinematic episode of Voices of the Saints, we follow the extraordinary journey of St. Marina the Monk — from her childhood loss and hidden entry into monastic life, to her false accusation, exile, and ultimate revelation. Her story is one of silence heavier than words, injustice borne with love, and humility crowned with glory.
Through immersive sound, music, and narration, experience the human struggle, the crushing weight of secrecy, and the shocking moment her truth was revealed.
