## Bio

Christina of Tyre died sometime in the third century, her death marking her as a martyr in early Christian memory. By the fourth century, archaeological evidence shows an underground cemetery had been constructed directly over her tomb in Tyre, a physical record of active veneration within a century of her life. The Eastern Orthodox Church would come to call her Christina the Great Martyr. In the West, she became known as Christine of Bolsena, her cult traveling and fragmenting across regions. What remains certain is the tomb and the cemetery above it: generations returned to the site, and the stone doesn't lie about that.
