Saint Demiana (also spelt Dimyanah, Jimyanah and Damiana) and the 40 virgins (; also known as the Chaste Martyr Saint Demiana) was a Coptic martyr of the early fourth century.
==The story of St. Demiana== Near the end of the third century, there lived a Christian named Mark. He was the governor of el-Borollos (on the northern shore of the Lake Burullus, at or near today's Burj/Burg Al-Burullus, or somewhere between this town and Baltim), el-Zaafaran (or Za'faran - today Izbat Jimyanah, the village of St Demiana's monastery, or perhaps the nearby town of El Hamool), and the 'Wadi al-Saysaban' (possibly the region around the Sebennytic branch of the Nile in the Delta, that the later Arabic-speaking scribes might have assimilated to 'sesban/saisaban', a plant that grows there). Mark had an only child named Demiana, and her father loved her dearly. When Demiana was still a young child, her mother died, and her father did his utmost to raise her a virtuous Christian.
