Saint Therinus

Therinus (, Greek: Θερινός), also known as Therinus of Buthrotum, was a Christian saint revered in Albania.

Life and martyrdom “The Martyrdom of Therinus” was a manuscript written in Epirus probably during the 5th-8th century AD. It explains during the reign of Roman Emperor Decius, the local governors of Roman provinces were replaced by more brutal ones with the intent of prosecuting more christians. and he was buried in a city called ‘Bosrena’. The city Bosrena is believed to be a corruption of the Greek derived Botrotos (Bouthroton). Another theory proposed was the Arabic city of Bosra, which is highly unlikely.
