Golinduch was a noblewoman from the Sasanian Empire who converted from Zoroastrianism to Christianity. Born in Hillah around 501, she adopted the name Maria following her conversion during the reign of Khosrau I. She faced significant persecution and torture under the rule of both Khosrau I and Hormizd IV. She eventually died in the Roman city of Manbij in 591, where she is remembered as a martyr.
