Therinus ( Albanian: Terin, Greek: Θερινός), [1] also known as Therinus of Buthrotum, was a Christian saint revered in Albania. Therinus was massacred in the 3rd century, during a wave of anti-Christian persecution, probably at the time of the Roman Emperor Decius (r. 249–251). His feast day is celebrated on April 23. [2]
