Marina of Omura was a Japanese Dominican tertiary who lived during the early 17th century. Born around 1501, she became a member of the Third Order in 1626. She is primarily remembered for her courageous efforts to provide shelter to Catholic missionaries who were in hiding. Her assistance to these religious figures eventually led to her arrest, resulting in her execution by burning at the stake in Nagasaki in 1634.
