Saint Christos the Gardener was born in Albania. He traveled to 
Constantinople, where he exercised the profession of gardening. When he 
was brought before the Turkish judge he said “I am a Christian and 
cannot change my faith even if I must suffer a thousand evils." The 
judge then ordered Christos to be beaten vigorously with sticks. 
Following this he was sent to prison and then endured more tortures. He 
finally gave his soul to the Lord in 1748.
