Saint Aba Mina, also known as Mena, was a soldier in the Roman army who left military service during the persecution under Diocletian and Maximian. After becoming a hermit, he later preached publicly and was arrested, tortured, and martyred at Cotyaeum in Phrygia. His burial place in Mareotis, Egypt, became the site of a church known as the Glory of the Libyan Desert.
