Anastasia writes to support Christian prisoners, emphasizing the power of miracles (of saints, the Holy Cross, the Holy Eucharist, icons, holy relics) as an argument for the truth of the Christian faith, for "it is no other faith than that of Christians" (Story II, 10). ). The Islamic faith is generally seen by St. Anastasia as being inspired by demons, a false faith / unbelief.
