The film presents the power of a steel, completely sinful Rome and at the same time, the courageous attitude and varied Christian action and mental superiority of the qualified military leader of Thessaloniki.

The patron saint of Thessaloniki remains a role model.

During the period when the Great Emperor Constantine the Great was considered the Great Emperor, that is, in the 4th century AD, Avenir reigned in India. He acquired a son, Joasaph, for whom astrologers said that when he grew up he would become a Christian. When Evenir heard this, he became agitated, anxious, and, in order to thwart this urge, locked Joasaph in a remote palace. He advised servants and teachers never to speak before him about the faith of Christians. As the years went by, Joseph grew up and received a brilliant education, but he could not banish melancholy and apathy from his limitations. He asked to know why this was happening, but no one answered. His father once allowed him to go out for a walk, but under strict surveillance. On one of his walks he met two poor elderly people, approached them alone and gave them generous alms. Excited, they revealed the secret of his limitation. From then on, he was thirsty to learn about the Christian faith.

The different traditions interfere with the details, but their fire is the same. It is an undeniable fact that Saint Maria lived during the Ottoman domination and even during the time of the tyranny of Epirus Ali Pasha (1788 - 1822 AD). She was a girl of great beauty. But her physical beauty was in accord with the beauty of her soul. Her ornaments were modesty, piety and temperance. Although at a very young age, she had a mature thought. She resisted all the pleasures that sweet and sly come to destroy the youthful souls. She had decided to devote herself entirely to God. She came from a village in Ioannina. According to tradition, Ali's Pasha's spy saw the Holy Koris, and was surprised by her beauty. He ordered with great secrecy to circle her monastery, capture her and carry her to his palace. But God did not leave this youthful soul helpless.
