00:00The name Ocarine is inseparable from those of Melassip and Antony.
00:05Christian tradition honors these three witnesses together.
00:09a mother, her husband and their son,
00:13associated with the martyrs in the city of Ansyr,
00:16Today in Ankara, Türkiye.
00:19Their memory is celebrated on November 7th.
00:23The information retained is very limited.
00:26Calendars and stories from the East
00:28they place their death in the 4th century,
00:30under the emperor Julian,
00:32who reigned from 361 to 363.
00:36He recounts that the family refuses to renounce their faith in Christ.
00:40despite the threats and torture.
00:43These traditions do not allow us to reconstruct Carine's childhood.
00:47his profession or the ordinary stages of his life.
00:51They also do not provide the same historical solidity
00:54at each scene of his martyrdom.
00:57Therefore, recounting one's testimony requires maintaining this reserve.
01:02without inventing dialogues, thoughts, or a detailed chronology.
01:07The context, however, sheds light on the significance of his memory.
01:11Under Julian, the favor given to traditional worship
01:16and the measures directed against Christians
01:18create new tensions.
01:20Religious freedom remains fragile.
01:24Tradition presents Carine and her companions
01:26like people who do not allow constraint
01:29deciding for them what their inner loyalty should be.
01:33Their celebration brings together three names rather than a single hero.
01:38It shows a faith passed down and shared within a family.
01:42without reducing individuals to a secondary role in the destiny of another.
01:48Honoring Carine does not mean seeking suffering.
01:52nor present violence as an ideal.
01:55The martyr bears witness to what he refuses to abandon.
01:59Cruelty belongs to those who impose it.
02:04His memory thus invites us to support freedom of conscience
02:07and to protect those whose beliefs make them vulnerable.
02:13In an ordinary life,
02:15Family loyalty takes other forms.
02:18Listen, respect the choices
02:21and get through the difficulties together.
02:25Courage can grow in these bonds
02:27without ever becoming an obligation to put oneself in danger.
02:31THANKS.
02:37THANKS.
02:38THANKS.
02:39THANKS.
02:39THANKS.
