Mamas wa Awlatos

Mamas wa Awlatos alikuwa Mkristo aliyefia dini yake katika karne ya 4His father was called Theodotus and his mother was called Theophila.  This man lived in the days of the reign of Yolyanos (Julian) the emperor, and his position was that of governor of the city of ‘Awlatos.  The parents of this holy man were Christians, and because of their belief in Christ he had shut them up in prison, and the mother of this holy man gave birth to him in prison.  After his father and his mother had died in prison, a certain Christian woman took the blessed child and brought him up as her own son, and she called his name “Mamas,” the interpretation of which is “orphan,” for he had neither father nor mother.  And when he was fifteen years old the people brought an accusation against him before the governor saying that he was a Christian.  And they took him and beat him with rods, and they hung him up head downwards with a heavy lump of lead tied to him, and they cast him into the sea, but he was saved from the sea by the might of God.  And he hid himself under a cave and he fed himself on the milk of the gamus, (i.e. buffalo), those great black animals of the desert.  Then the governor seized him again and cast him into the fire, but he was saved from the fire by the power of God.  After this, the governor’s men let loose lions upon him so that they might rend him asunder, but by the power of God he leaped upon the back of a lion.  Then the governor tortured him, and his men dragged him on the ground, and tore out his intestines with a three-pronged iron fork.  By this torture the blessed Mamas consummated his martyrdom, and received a crown of martyrdom in the kingdom of the heavens.  .
