Saint Maura of Antinoe was a married laywoman in Egypt. She married Saint Timothy of Antinoe. Her husband was arrested during the persecution of Diocletian. St. Maura was dragged to prison and the authorities thought if they threatened to torture her, Timothy would break. Timothy refused to talk, and Maura made a profession of her faith. The governor of Thebias, ordered her tortured. Witnesses begged that the tormentors release the innocent woman, but she told them that God was what she needed. Martyred with her husband Saint Timothy.
