2. My son is a loving king. I saw him get hurt, and tourted. and when he died, he told one of his friends that he is my son, and I am his mother. There were plans of me getting married when I was young, before giving birth.
3. I was born into a christian family. My dad wanted me to be bible educated by a priest. When it was time for me to marry, I asked my father if he could build me a house for me and my friends to live in to worship god. The emperor's advisors were bad people that talked to the emperor into killing all the christians if they don't bow down to their gods made of stone. The empror threatened my father to bow down to the gods or he will kill me. So my dad left our loving god and worshiped their gods. I got mad at him for doing so, so he went to the king saying "I am a christian" and got be-headed. The emperor then tourted me alot, and when he gave up he be-headed me and my friends.
1. I married a man who did not know God and as a result, my son would not accept Him. I am known as the mother of tears. Who am I ?
2. I was born in a rich family but all my heart longed for was Christ. I ran away from home to a monastary, and was later accused of sexually harassing my sister. Who am I?
3. I was also born in a rich family. As a monk, I was given a bowl of beans to eat and I picked the good beans out of the plate. The head monk then slapped the monk next to me telling him not pick out the good beans. I knew that was supposed to be for me. Who am I?
I was walking along the way and I saw a skull lying upon the ground.I spoke to it and asked : "Who are you?" The skull answered: "I was a chief-priest of the pagans. When you, holy person, prays for those situated in hell, we do receive some respite". I asked: "What are these torments?" "We are sitting in a great fire, -- answered the skull, -- and we do not see one another. When you pray, we begin to see each other somewhat, and this affords us some comfort". Having heard such words, I began weeping and asked: "Are there yet more fierce some torments?" The skull answered: "Down below us are located those, which did know the Name of God, but rejected Him and kept not His commandments. They endure yet more grievous torments". Who am I?
2) Once I was carrying branches for weaving baskets, and the devil met me on the way and wanted to strike me with a sickle, but he was not able to do this and said: " I suffer from you great anguish because I am not able to destroy you; your armour, by which you are defended from me, is this -- "your humility". Who am I?
