Ὁ Ἅγιος Ἐθελμπέρτος βασιλιὰς τῆς Ἀγγλίας
St Ethelbert was the first Christian king of Kent who received St Augustine and his monks on their arrival in Britain. He allowed the arrivals to preach the Gospel and after some delay the king and his people accepted Christ and were baptised en masse, though it has to be said this was not all of them. He gave ground for building the first Abbey outside the city walls dedicated to Sts Peter and Paul and also, within the walls, the church that was to become Canterbury Cathedral. St Bertha was a Frankish princess who became Queen to St Ethelbert of Kent. She was a Christian who had as her chaplain a Bishop called Liudhard. For their services they used an old Christian church from Roman times dedicated to St Martin. This maybe the St Martin's still standing not far from the old Abbey.

• Martyr ALEXANDER the Roman, a soldier martyred in Drizipara in Thrace under Diocletian and Maximian // FEB 25 // MAY 13 // MAY 14 //
Ὁ Ἅγιος Ἀλέξανδρος ὁ Μάρτυρας ὁ ἐν Δριζιπάρῳ τῆς Θράκης
It should be mentioned that the main feast of the Saint in the Greek synaxaria is February 25th, while in Slavic synaxaria it is May 13th. However, in Greek synaxaria on May 13th a martyr known as Saint Alexander the Bishop of Tiberian is honored, though there are no details about his life, yet he is given Iambic Verses. It is believed that over the course of the centuries there was some confusion, and Saint Alexander's commemoration became confused so that a made up episcopal see of Tiberian was substituted with the name of the tribune Tiberian. To add to the confusion, on May 14th in the Greek synaxaria there is commemorated a martyr known as Saint Alexander, who was martyred in Kentoukellai, which is an unknown place. The biography of the latter is very similar to the Saint Alexander commemorated on February 25th, though given more detail. Therefore he is in reality commemorated on all three days in the Greek synaxaria, but only on one day in the Slavic synaxaria, the only common day being May 13th. Portions of his relics are said to be in the Monastery of Saint Seraphim of Sarov in Pistoia of Italy.

• Sainted TARASIUS 塔拉息 Patriarch of Constantinople (806)
Ὁ Ἅγιος Ταράσιος Ἀρχιεπίσκοπος Κωνσταντινουπόλεως
Our Holy Father Tarasios dogmatized the veneration of the holy icons, which were in danger of being completely done away with and be lifted from the Church of Christ. With his cooperation the Holy and Seventh Ecumenical Synod gathered in the year 787, during the reign of Constantine and his mother Irene. Through this Synod, the Roman Emperors were turned once again to the revered traditions of the Holy and All-Praised Apostles, and the Saints of the former Ecumenical Synods, and the Holy Church of Christ was united with the Patriarchates. Having lived piously, he became honored and revered by the above-mentioned emperors. He built a sacred Monastery across the straits of Constantinople, and he assembled there a large number of Monks. Also he was merciful to the poor, and governed the Church of God for twenty-two years, though according to others it was twenty-one years and two months. He reposed in peace and was buried at the above-mentioned Monastery, which he established. As for his physical description, he looked like Gregory the Theologian, except for the white hairs of the Theologian and the mark on his eye. His Synaxis is celebrated in the most-holy Great Church. Saint Tarasios was the uncle of Saint Photios the Great, who also became Patriarch of Constantinople and is celebrated on February 6th. Portions of the Sacred Relics of Saint Tarasios can be venerated in the Monasteries of Panteleimon in Mount Athos and Tatarnes in Evrytania.

• Venerabless WALBURGA (also Walpurg, Walburg, Walburgh, Vaubourg, Walpurgis, Gauburge, Falbourg, Valburga, Waltpurde, Wilburga or Warpurg) 瓦尔博伽; Nun at Wimborne, Dorset; Abbess of Heidenheim in Bavaria (710-779) invoked against coughs, dog bite (rabies), plague, and for good harvests
Sister of Sts Willibald and Winebald. She became a nun at Wimborne in Dorset in England with St Tetta and followed St Lioba to Germany. She reposed as Abbess of Heidenheim, from where her relics were translated to Eichstätt. Miraculous healings come from the oil which still flows from the rock on which her shrine is placed.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
O God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
愿上帝怜恤我罪人
O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
for the sake of the prayers
of Thy most pure Mother,
our holy and God-bearing fathers and all the saints, have mercy on us.
Amen.
