Saint Christina of Persia was a 6th-century noblewoman from the Sasanian Empire, specifically from Karka d'Beth Slokh. Born as Yazdoi, she was the daughter of a governor named Yazdin. After converting from Zoroastrianism to Christianity, she chose to remain a virgin and refused to marry. This decision led to her persecution under the rule of Khosrau I, ultimately resulting in her death. Her life and martyrdom were recorded in a biography written by Babai the Great.
