• Icon of the Mother of God of TOLGA 托尔伽
The Tolga Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos appeared on August 8, 1314 to Rostov Hierarch Prochorus. Traveling through his diocese, Prochorus visited White Lake and then journeyed along the banks of the Sheksna and Volga Rivers, on the way to Yaroslavl. He stopped at sundown on the right bank of the Volga River, seven miles from the city. At midnight, when everyone was asleep, Prochorus awoke and saw a bright light illuminating the area. The light came from a fiery column on the other bank of the river, to which there stretched a bridge. Taking up his staff, Prochorus went to the other bank, and approaching the fiery column, saw the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos, suspended in the air. Astonished at this miracle, Prochorus began to pray. When he went back to the camp, he forgot to take his staff. The next day, St Prochorus made ready to continue his journey by boat, but did not want to leave without his staff. Despite intense efforts, the staff was unable to be found. However, St Prochorus remembered that he had left his staff on the other side of the river when he had walked across the miraculous bridge. He then revealed what had occurred, and sent servants across on a boat to the other shore. They came back and reported that they had seen an icon of the Mother of God in the forest suspended in the branches of a tree, next to his bishop’s staff. St Prochorus quickly crossed over with his retinue to the opposite shore, and he recognized the icon that had appeared to him the night before. After fervent prayers before the icon, the forest was cleared, and the foundations of a church were created. When the people of Yaroslavl learned of this, they came out to the spot. By midday the church was already built, and that same evening, St Prochorus consecrated it in honor of the Entrance into the Temple of the Most Holy Theotokos. Having installed the icon there, he established a Feast on the day of its appearance. St Prochorus later built the Tolga Monastery near this same church. He entered into the Heavenly Kingdom on September 7, 1328. The Tolga Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos is also commemorated on August 8.

Paisius 和艾賽爾是一個富裕的家庭的兄弟。他們都是修道士。一個人朝人因為他的仁慈的工作在荒地和其它因為他的禁欲主義成為了聖人。聖人 Pambo 都在天堂看見了他們。這有關問題在修道士之中解決了爭論︰禁欲的好一些的禁欲主義或仁慈的肉體的工作是哪個？兩個，兩個和其它, 當它在合[利爾]斯托。斯基督的名字被做時，導致天堂。
Paisius and Isaiah were brothers of a wealthy family. They were both monks. One became a saint because of his asceticism in the wilderness and the other because of his works of mercy toward men. St Pambo saw them both in Paradise. This settled a dispute among the monks concerning the question: Which is better asceticism and a life of mortification or corporal works of mercy? Both, one and the other, lead to Paradise when it is done in the Name of Christ.

• Venerable JOHN 约翰 the Long-suffering of the Kiev Caves, of The Near Caves of Anthony (1160) pursued asceticism at the Kievo-Pechersk Lavra
Ὁ Ὅσιος Ἰωάννης τοῦ Πολύτλα ὁ ἔγκλειστος ὁ ἐν Κιέβῳ σπηλαίου
The ascetic related, that from the time of his youth he had suffered much, tormented by fleshly lust, and nothing could deliver him from it ― neither hunger nor thirst nor heavy chains. The monk then went into the cave wherein rested the relics of the Monk Antonii, and he fervently prayed to the holy abba. After a day and a night the much-suffering John heard a voice: "John! It is necessary for thee to here seclude thyself, so that at least to weaken the vexation by silence and the unseen, and the Lord shalt help thee through the prayers of His monastic saints". The saint settled into the cave from that time, and only after thirty years did he conquer the fleshly passions. Tense and fierce was the struggle upon the thorny way on which the monk went to victory. Sometimes the desire took hold of him to forsake his seclusion, but then he resolved on still greater an effort. The holy warrior of Christ dug out a pit and with the onset of Great Lent he climbed into it, and he covered himself up to the shoulders with ground. The whole of Lent he spent in such a position, but the burning of his former passions did not quit his much-exerted flesh. The enemy of salvation brought terror upon the ascetic, in wanting to expel him from the cave: a fearsome serpent, breathing fire and strewn with sparks, tried to swallow the saint. For several days these evil doings continued. On the night of the Resurrection of Christ the serpent seized the head of the monk in its jaws. Then Saint John cried out from the depths of his heart: "O Lord my God and my Saviour!Wherefore hast Thou forsaken me? Have mercy upon me, Thou Only Lover-of-Mankind; deliver me from my foul iniquity, so that I wither not in the snares of the malevolent one; deliver me from the mouth of mine enemy: send down a lightning-flash and drive it away". Suddenly a bolt of lightning flashed, and the serpent vanished. A Divine light shone upon the ascetic, and a Voice was heard: "John! Here is the help for thee; henceforth be attentive, that nothing worse happen to thee and that thou suffer not in the age to come". The saint prostrated himself and said: "Lord! Why didst Thou leave me for so long in torment?" "For the power of thine endurance, ― was the answer, ― I brought upon thee temptation, so that thou might be smelted pure like gold; it is to the strong and powerful servants that a master doth assign the heavy work, and to the infirm and to the weak -- the easy tasks; wherefore pray thou to the one buried here (the Monk Joseph the Hungarian), he can help thee in this struggle: he even moreso than Joseph (the Handsome)". The monk died in about the year 1160, having acquired grace against profligate passions. His holy relics rest within the Antoniev Caves.

• Icon of the Mother of God of SVIATOGORSK (1569) in the province of Pskov, Russia
The Sviatogorsk Icon of the Mother of God is from the Sviatogorsky Monastery in the province of Pskov, Russia. In 1563, during the reign of Tsar Ivan IV (“the Terrible”), a “Tenderness” Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos appeared to a fifteen-year-old shepherd and fool named Timothy, not far from Lugovitsa Stream. This icon was placed in the Church of St. George in Voronicha. The voice from the icon said that after six years the grace of God would shine forth upon the hill. In 1569, a Hodigitria Icon of the Mother of God appeared to Timothy on the Sinicha Hill. He spent forty days there in fasting and prayer. The miraculous voice from the icon commanded that the clergy and the people bring the Tenderness Icon to Sinicha Heights on the Friday following the Sunday of All Saints. When the church procession reached the hill and began the Molieben, a light suddenly shone during the reading of the Gospel. The air was filled with fragrance and everyone saw the Hodigitria icon. Both holy icons – the Hodgitria and the Tenderness – were placed in the Church of St. George. From them many miraculous signs and healings took place, about which reports were made to Tsar Ivan. At his direction, a chapel was built on Sinicha Hill, into which were transferred the wonderworking icons. However, on the Feast of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos, during a procession with the icons, the chapel suddenly burned to the ground. The fire destroyed everything inside except the holy things, which remained unharmed. On this sacred spot, a stone church was built in honor of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos, the altar of which stood on the place where the Hodigitria icon appeared. Both glorified icons were placed into the lower tier of the iconostas – the Hodigitria on the right side (a chapel in honor of which was built in 1770), and the Tenderness on the left (a chapel was built in 1776). In 1569, the Sviatogorsk (“Holy Hill”) Dormition Monastery was founded.
Every year, on the first Friday of the Peter and Paul Fast, the icons are conveyed to the Trinity Cathedral in Pskov. On the following Sunday, a procession is made with them along the inner walls of the city. The celebration in honor of the Tenderness icon is March 19, and on the ninth Friday after Pascha. The Hodigitria icon is commemorated on July 17, and on the Feast of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos on October 1.

A vision of Our Lady at the church pointed him out as exceptionally holy, calling him the "Man of God". This drew attention to him, which caused him to return to Rome, Italy where he would not be known. He came as a beggar to his own home. His parents did not recognize him, but were kind to all the poor, and let him stay there.

• "CHIRSK" of Pskov (1420) Icon of the Mother of God
The Chirsk (Pskov) Icon of the Mother of God was initially in the Chirsk village church of the Pskov diocese. On July 16, 1420, during the time of Great Prince Basil Dimitrievich, Archbishop Simeon of Novgorod and Pskov, and Prince Theodore Alexandrovich were present in Pskov. In a time of a deadly pestilence, tears flowed from the eyes of the Chirsk Icon of the Mother of God. This was reported to authorities in the city of Pskov. Priests and devout men carried the wonderworking icon to Pskov. A church procession was formed to meet the icon, which was placed in the cathedral church of the Holy Trinity. On the reverse of the icon are depicted the Holy Apostle and Evangelist Luke, and Saint Theodosius of the Kiev Caves.
● • Commemoration of the Holy Fathers of the First Six Councils 纪念前六次神圣普世大公会议之诸位圣教父 // SUNDAY CLOSEST TO JULY 29 //
On the Sunday that falls between the 13th and 19th of this month [July], we commemorate the Holy Six Ecumenical Synods, namely the 318 God-bearing Fathers of the First Synod who gathered in Nicaea against Arianism in the year 325; and the 150 of the Second Synod who came together in Constantinople against the Pneumatomachs in the year 381; and the 200 at the Third who came together in Ephesus against Nestorius in the year 431; and the 630 at the Fourth in Chalcedon who came together against the Monophysites in the year 451; and the 165 of the Fifth Synod who came together against Origen and his followers in the year 553; and the 170 of the Sixth who came together in Constantinople against the Monothelites in 680.
第一個 6 全合[利爾]斯托。斯基督教會的委員會的這普通的紀念在第 13 和 7 月 19 日之間在星期天被保持。
In the Ninth Section of the Nicea-Constantinople Symbol-Creed of Faith – worked out by the holy fathers of the First and Second Ecumenical Councils, we confess our faith in "One, Holy, Catholico-Conciliar ("Sobornyi") and Apostolic Church". By virtue of the Catholico-Conciliar ("Sobornyi") nature of the Church, the All-Churchly or Ecumenical Council is the Church's supreme facility, and possessing the plenitude, to resolve the major questions of religious life. An Ecumenical Council is comprised of archpastors and pastors of the Church, and representatives of all the Local Churches, from every land of the "oikumene" (i.e. from all the whole inhabited world, the Ecumenical/ecumenical basis of the "Universality" ("Vselennost'") of the Church is implied in the Greek word "kath'olon", from whence the word "catholic", which encompasses the evangelisation of the whole world).
The Church Slavonic word "Sobornyi" – in English usually translated merely as "Catholic", has actually a deeper and more profound meaning than commonly understood in the West, and it reflects linguistically the Greek word "katholikos" as interpreted by Holy Tradition for Saints Cyril and Methodios. The adjective form "Sobornyi" has its word-root in "Sobor" – meaning an "assembly" or "council". The erudite might also recognise similarity with the word "Sobornost'" – a term emphasised in ecclesiology by the Russian religious-philosopher A. S. Khomyakov in the 1800's. "Sobornost'" is translated sometimes as "Catholico-Conciliarity", but often also as "Communality". This latter nuance signifies the "Catholicity" of the Church, not as a formal external quality regarding the Church as worldly institution and outward authority, but rather existing as a spiritually inward and dynamic quality within each believer. It is the Gospel that defines the locus of the Church saying: "The Kingdom of God is within you". This however does not mean the fragmenting individualism of belief often seen in Protestantism. The Church as "ekklesia" (assembly of believers) is "One" in Christ in the Apostolicity and Holiness of its faith in Christ – our own oneness is with the one authentic faith of the Holy Apostles in the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ, preserved as Holy Tradition throughout all the generations of believers. The "Communality" or "Communion in Christ Jesus" is not merely with our fellow believers in the Church in the present time, but with all the generations of the "faithful" that have gone before us. All the Four Marks of the Church – One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic – are inter-connected. The Catholicity of the Church extends universally not merely through spatiality, but also back through time – it is the "Church Triumphant" as well as the "Church Militant".
The Orthodox Church acknowledges Seven Holy Ecumenical Councils: The First Ecumenical Council (Nicea I) (Comm. 29 May, and also movably, on 7th Sunday after Pascha) was convened in the year 325 against the heresy of Arius, in the city of Nicea in Bithynia under the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine the Great.
The Second Ecumenical Council (Constantinople I) (Comm. 22 May) was convened in the year 381 against the heresy of Macedonias, by the emperor Theodosius the Great.
The Third Ecumenical Council (Ephesus) (Comm. 9 September) – was convened in the year 431 against the heresy of Nestorius, in the city of Ephesus by the emperor Theodosius the Younger.
The Fourth Ecumenical Council (Chalcedon) (Comm. 16 July) – was convened in the year 451, against the Monophysite heresy, in the city of Chalcedon under the emperor Marcian.
The Fifth Ecumenical Council (Constnatinople II) (Comm. 25 July) – "Concerning the Three Chapters", was convened in the year 553, under the emperor Justinian the Great.
The Sixth Ecumenical Council (Constantinople III) (Comm. 23 January) – during the years 680-681, was against the Monothelite heresy, under the emperor Constantine Pogonatos.
The Seventh Ecumenical Council (Nicea II) (Comm. as moveable feastday on Sunday nearest 11 October) – was convened just like the First Council, at Nicea, but in the year 787 against the Iconoclast heresy, under the emperor Constantine and his mother Irene. (Accounts about the Councils are likewise located under the days of commemoration).
The significance of a special Church veneration of the Holy Fathers of the Ecumenical Councils consists in this, that the Ecumenical Councils, and only they, are of themselves in entirety expressive of the faith, will and mind of the Ecumenical Catholic Church – of an Orthodox Plenitude, by virtue of the immutable promises of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the grace of the Holy Spirit, and by the Apostolicity inhering in the hierarchy, – they possess the wherewithal to bring forth infallible and "of benefit to all" definitions in the areas of Christian faith and Church piety. The dogmatic conciliar definitions – "orosoi" in Greek, are employed in the Orthodox Church as having an inalienable and constant authority, and such definitions always begin with the Apostolic formula: "It hath pleased the Holy Spirit and us" (Acts 15: 28). The Ecumenical Councils were convened in the Church each time regarding a special need, in connection with the appearance of divergent opinions and heresies, so as to seek out the Orthodox Church teaching of faith and tradition. But the Holy Spirit has thus seen fit, that the dogmas – the truths of faith, immutable in their content and scope, constantly and consequently are revealed by the conciliar mind-set of the Church, and are given precision by the holy fathers within theological concepts and terms in exactly such measure, as is needed by the Church itself for its economy of salvation. The Church, in expounding its dogmas, is dealing with the concerns of a given historical moment, "not revealing everything in haste and thoughtlessly, nor indeed, ultimately hiding something" (Saint Gregory the Theologian). A brief summary of the dogmatic theology of the First Six Ecumenical Councils is formulated and contained in the First Canon-rule of the Council of Trullo (also known as Quinisext), held in the year 692. The 318 Holy Fathers of the First Ecumenical Council are spoken of in this Canon I of Trullo as having: "with one-mindedness of faith revealed and declared to us the oneness of essence in the three Hypstaseis-Persons of the God-original nature and, ... instructing to be worshipped – with one worship – the Father, and Son, and Holy Spirit, they cast down and dispelled the false-teaching about unequal degrees of Divinity". The 150 Holy Fathers of the Second Ecumenical Council left their mark on the theology of the Church as regards the Holy Spirit, "repudiating the teaching of Macedonias, who wanted to chop apart the Undivided Unity, such that there should not perfectly be the mystery of our hope". The 200 God-bearing Fathers of the Third Ecumenical Council expounded the teaching about "the One Christ, the Son of God Incarnate" and they confessed that "truly the God-begetter [Theotokos, Bogoroditsa, i.e. Mother of God] without seed hath given birth to Him, whilst being the Immaculate and Ever-Virgin". The point of faith of the 630 God-chosen Holy Fathers of the Fourth Ecumenical Council promulgated "One Christ, the Son of God... glorified in two natures". The 165 God-bearing Holy Fathers of the Fifth Ecumenical Council "collectively gave anathema and repudiated Theodore of Mopsuetia, the teacher of Nestorius, and Origen, and Didymas, and Euagrios, renovators of the Hellenic teaching about the transmigration of souls and the transmutation of bodies and the impieties raised against the resurrection of the dead". The faith-confession of the 170 Holy Fathers of the Sixth Ecumenical Council "explained, that we ought to confess two natural volitions, or two wills [trans. note: the one Divine, and the other human], and two natural operations (energies) in He That hath been incarnated for the sake of our salvation, our One Lord Jesus Christ, True God". In decisive moments of Church history, the holy Ecumenical Councils promulgated their dogmatic definitions, as trustworthy delimitations in the spiritual militancy for the purity of Orthodoxy, which will last until such time, as "all shalt come into the oneness of faith in the knowledge of the Son of God" (Eph. 4: 13). In the struggle with new heresies, the Church does not abandon its former dogmatic concepts nor replace them with some sort of new formulations. The dogmatic formulae of the Holy Ecumenical Councils need never to be superseded, they remain always contemporary to the living Tradition of the Church. Wherefore the Church proclaims: "The faith of all in the Church of God hath been glorified by men, which were luminaries in the world, cleaving to the Word of Life, so that it be observed firmly, and that it dwell unshakably until the end of the ages, conjointly with their God-bestown writings and dogmas. We reject and we anathematise all, whom they have rejected and anathematised, as being enemies of Truth. And if anyone doth not cleave to nor admit the aforementioned pious dogmas, and doth not so think nor preach, let that one be anathema" (from Canon I of the Council of Trullo, ascribed to the Sixth Ecumenical Council). Besides the dogmatic activity, the Holy Fathers of the Ecumenical Councils exerted great efforts towards the strengthening of churchly discipline. Local Councils promulgated their disciplinary canon-rules, as is obvious, according to the circumstances of the times and place, frequently differing among themselves in various particulars. The universal unity of the Orthodox Church required unity also in canonical practise, i.e. a conciliar deliberation and affirmation of the most important canonical norms by the fathers of the Ecumenical Councils. Thus, according to conciliar judgement, there have been accepted by the Church: 20 Canons from the First, 7 Canons from the Second, 8 Canons from the Third, and 30 Canons from the Forth, Ecumenical Councils. The Fifth and the Sixth Ecumenical Councils concerned themselves with the resolving of exclusively dogmatic questions and did not leave behind any disciplinary canon-rules. The need to establish in codified form in the Church of the customary practises over the years 451-680, and ultimately to affirm the aggregate of a canonical codex for the Orthodox Church, occasioned the convening of a special Council, the activity of which was wholly devoted to the general application of churchly rules. This was convened in the year 692. The Council "in the Imperial Palace" or "Under the Arches" (in Greek "en trullo"), came to be called the Trullo Council. They also called it the "Qunisext" [meaning the "fifth and sixth"], considering it to have completed in canonical matters the activities of the Fifth and Sixth Councils, or rather moreso – that it was simply of the Sixth Council itself, i.e. a direct continuation of the Sixth Ecumenical Council, separated by but a few years. The Trullo Council, with its 102 Canon-rules (more than of all the Ecumenical Councils combined), had a tremendous significance in the history of the canonical theology of the Orthodox Church. It might be said, that by the fathers of this Council there was a complete compilation of the basic codex from the relevant sources for the Orthodox Church's canons. Listing through in chronological order, and having been accepted by the Church – the Canons of the Holy Apostles, and the Canons of the Holy Ecumenical and the Local Councils and the holy fathers, the Trullo Council declared: "Let no one be permitted to alter or to annul the aforementioned canons, nor in place of these put forth, or to accept others, made of spurious inscription" (2nd Canon of Trullo Council, ascribed to the Sixth Ecumenical Council). Church canons, sanctified by the authority of the first Six Ecumenical Councils (including the rules of the Seventh Ecumenical Council in 787, and likewise the Constantinople Councils of 861 and 879, which were added on later under holy Patriarch Photios), form the basis of the books of "The Rudder" or "Kormchaya Kniga" (a law‑canon codex known as "Syntagma" or "Nomokanon" of 14 titles). In its repository of grace is expressed a canonical norm, a connection to every time-period for guidance in churchly practise for all the Local Orthodox Churches. New historical conditions can lead to the change of this or that particular external aspect of the life of the Church, which causes for it the necessity of creative canonical activity in the conciliar reasoning of the Church, as regards the inclusion of external norms of churchly life in conformity with historical circumstances. The details of canonical regulation are not at all once fleshed out into life for the various eras of churchly organisation. But amidst every push to either forsake the literal-letter of a canon or fulfill and develope it, the Church again and again turns for reasoning and guidance to the eternal legacy of the Holy Ecumenical Councils – to the impoverishable treasury of dogmatic and canonical truths.
• Commemoration of THE 4TH OECUMENICAL COUNCIL (451)
The Fourth OEcumenical Council, at which 630 bishops participated, was convened in the year 451 in the city of Chalcedon under the emperor Marcian (450-457). Still back in the time of the emperor Theodosius II (408-450), the bishop of Dorileuseia Eusebios in 408 reported to a Council held at Constantinople under the holy Patriarch Flavian (Comm. 18 February), concerning a personage of one of the monasteries of the capital, the archimandrite Eutykhios, who in his undaunted zeal against the soul-destroying heresy of the Nestorius ― went to the opposite extreme and began to assert, that within Jesus Christ the human nature under the hypostatic union was completely absorbed by the Divine nature, in consequence of which it lost everything characteristic of human nature, except but for the visible form; wherein, such that after the union in Jesus Christ there remained only one nature (the Divine), which in visible bodily form lived upon the earth, suffered, died, and was resurrected. The Constantinople Council condemned this new false-teaching. But the heretic Eutykhios had patronage at court, and was in close connection with the heretic Dioskoros, the successor to Sainted Cyril (Comm. 18 January) upon the patriarchal cathedra-seat at Alexandria. Eutykhios turned to the emperor with a complaint against the injustice of the condemnation against him, and he demanded the judgement of an OEcumenical Council against his opponents, whom he accused of Nestorianism. Wanting to restore peace in the Church, Theodosius had decided to convene a Fourth OEcumenical Council in the year 449 at Ephesus. But this Council became branded in the chronicles of the Church as the "Robbers Council". Dioskoros, appointed by the emperor to preside as president of the Council, ran it like a dictator, making use of threats and outright coercion. Eutykhios was exonerated, and Saint Flavian condemned. But in the year 450 the emperor Theodosius died. The new emperor Marcian raised up onto the throne with him the sister of Theodosius, Pulcheria. Restoring peace to the Church was a matter of prime importance. An OEcumenical Council was convened in the year 451 at Chalcedon. The Patriarch of Constantinople, Saint Anatolios (Comm. 3 July) presided over the Council. Dioskoros at the first session was deprived of his place among those present, and at the third session he was condemned with all his partisans. The Sessions of the Council were 16 in all. The Chalcedon holy fathers pronounced anathemas against the heresy of Eutykhios. On the basis of Letters Saint Cyril of Alexandria and Pope Saint Leo the Great, the fathers of the Council resolved: "Following the holy fathers, we all with one accord teach to confess as one and the same the Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, perfect in Divinity and perfect in humanity, truly God, truly man, of Whom is a reasoned soul and a body, One in Essence with the Father through Divinity and that Same-One one-in-essence with us through humanity, in all things like unto us except for sin, begotten before the ages from the Father in Divinity, but in these latter days born for us and our salvation from Mary the Virgin Mother of God in humanity. This self-same Christ, Son and Lord, the Only-Begotten, is in two natures perceived without mingling, without change, without division, without separation [Greek: "asugkhutos, atreptos, adiairetos, akhoristos"; Slavic: "neslitno, neizmenno, nerazdel'no, nerazluchno"], such that by conjoining there be not infringement of the distinctions of the two natures, and by which is preserved the uniqueness of each nature conjoined in one Person and One Hypostasis, ― not split nor separated into two persons, but rather the One and Self-same Son, the Only-Begotten, the Word of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, as in antiquity the prophets taught of Him and as the Lord Jesus Christ Himself taught us, and as the Creed-Symbol of the fathers has passed down to us". In the two final Sessions of the Council, 30 Canon-rules were promulgated concerning ecclesial hierarchies and disciplines. Beyond this, the Council affirmed the decrees not only of the three preceding OEcumenical Councils, but also of the Local Councils of: Ancyra, Neocaesarea, Gangra, Antioch and Laodiceia, which had occurred during the 4th century.

● The Miracle of St BARBARA in Polydendri, Attica on July 15 of 1917
According to witness testimony of those who live in the village of Polydendri in Attica, which were compiled by the parish priest there in 1986, in 1917 an epidemic struck the village, as well as a great blessing. Many became sick that year and eight died, with others on the verge of death. Two of those who died were from the village of Grammatiko, which was in east Attica, so it was theorized that the epidemic originated there. Everyone panicked. Many took to the mountains. Officers quarantined homes and the surrounding roads in which the sick were found. Some guarded the wells and fountains of the center to prevent the sick from contaminating the water. The unfortunate sick would have to go to a tank outside the village to get water. The church would not allow to be read the funeral service for the dead, however the parish priest of the village, Papa-Yiannis Tsakos, did perform funerals privately. One elder gentleman stated: "One of the dead I dragged from the house to the church, at night, and we buried him. After I took his cloak I slept, but did not catch the illness." Over the graves they would spread lime to prevent the epidemic from spreading. In this atmosphere of panic and despair, according to Anna Vasilakou who was ten years old at the time, Panagiotis Spyridon Sotirchos had a vision at the iconostasis of the church of St Barbara, who told him: "Come and get me so that I can chase away the sickness." Then Papa-Yianni with the commissioners of the church went to Aigaleo, to the Church of St Barbara, and from there brought by car the wonderworking icon of the Saint to the intersection of the village. There the Christians received her with emotion, reverence and tears, and the whole road was covered with laurels. They fell before the icon crying: "Help us St Barbara! Chase away the sickness!" They then processed the icon around the village, and the great miracle occurred. The epidemic ceased! Not only did not another get sick, but all the sick became well. Since then, out of gratitude, the villagers of Polydendri established a feast to commemorate this miracle of St Barbara. An icon of St Barbara was commissioned for the village, and she is celebrated every July 15th.

• VLADIMIR and AGRIPPINA Wonderworkers of Rzhev
• 4 Crypto-Christian Neomartyrs: EMMANUEL, ANEZINA, GEORGE and MARIA
The New Martyrs of the faith, Emmanuel, Anezina and their children George and Maria, were cryptochristians and had the following Turkish names: the father was called “Ibraim Ibni Abdullach" and his wife was “Fatme Ibni Abdullach”, the daughter was called “Hatizie” and the son “Mustafa". Also the father, Emmanuel, was 40 years old, while his wife Anezina was 38, the son, George, was 18 and the daughter, Maria, was 16. As Muslims, they lived in the village Melissourgio of Kissamos and worked peacefully out in their fields. One day a neighbor saw them cross themselves as they sat to eat and turned them in to the Turks. They were spied on again, where they were seen doing their cross before going to bed, and taken to court, which decided for them to be beheaded, because they did not deny any of that which they were accused of. Instead they boldly said: “We were born Christians and we will die Christians.” It is worth mentioning that after they were told the court decision, they were presented before the court again and were told that if they returned to the religion of Islam they would live. Yet again they refused the offer and chose Christ.They were sentenced to death by decapitation and their bodies were thrown outside of the fortress in Hania, to be eaten by wild animals and vultures.

Born in Egypt c. 180; died 247. Heraclas and his brother Saint Plutarch were the first students at Origen's catechetical school in Alexandria. There they were converted to Christianity by their master. Heraclias became Origen's assistant, was ordained, and succeeded Origen as head of the school when Bishop Demetrius of Alexandria condemned Origen in 231. Heraclias succeeded Demetrius as bishop of Alexandria that same year. Thinking it was safe to return, Origen went back to Alexandria, was excommunicated by his former disciple, and was driven from the city.

• MARCIANO of Frigento (5th c.)
Born to a wealthy Christian family, when Marciano received his inheritance he gave it all away to the poor and devoted himself to God. His devotion and spiritual wisdom attracted to so many admirers and would-be students that he left Greece for Italy, and became a hermit near the town of Frigento. Miracle worker and healer. Pilgrim to Rome, Italy, travelling with his friend, Bishop Lorenzo of Canosa, Italy. In Rome, Marciano was chosen bishop of Frigento by Pope Saint Leo the Great who, in a church near Rome, had encountered Marciano in prayer and received a vision that he was to be consecrated. While there are very few points of information in this story, there are a lot of problems with the dates in the original sources.

• Icon of the Mother of God “IT IS TRULY MEET” (Axion estin: Ἄξιον ἐστίν) 诚应为洵
The “It is Truly Meet” Icon of the Mother of God is in the high place of the altar of the cathedral church at the Karyes Monastery on Mount Athos. One Saturday night an Elder went to Karyes for the all-night Vigil. He left, instructing his disciple to remain behind and read the service in their cell. As it grew dark, the disciple heard a knock on the door. When he opened the door, he saw an unknown monk who called himself Gabriel, and he invited him to come in. They stood before the icon of the Mother of God and read the service together with reverence and compunction. During the Ninth Ode of the Canon, the disciple began to sing “My soul magnifies the Lord…” with the Irmos of St Cosmas the Hymnographer, “More honorable than the Cherubim….”
The stranger sang the next verse, “For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden….” Then he chanted something the disciple had never heard before: “It is truly meet to bless Thee, O Theotokos, ever-blessed and most pure, and the Mother of our God…” Then he continued with, “More honorable than the Cherubim.…”
While the hymn was being sung, the icon of the Theotokos shone with a heavenly light. The disciple was moved by the new version of the familiar hymn, and asked his guest to write the words down for him. When the stranger asked for paper and ink, the disciple said that he did not have any.
The stranger took a roof tile and wrote the words of the hymn on its surface with his finger. The disciple knew then that this was no ordinary monk, but the Archangel Gabriel. The angel said, “Sing in this manner, and all the Orthodox as well.” Then he disappeared, and the icon of the Mother of God continued to radiate light for some time afterward. The Eleousa Icon of the Mother of God, before which the hymn “It Is Truly Meet” was first sung, was transferred to the katholikon at Karyes. The tile, with the hymn written on it by the Archangel Gabriel, was taken to Constantinople when St Nicholas Chrysoberges was Patriarch. Numerous copies of the “It Is Truly Meet” Icon are revered in Russian churches. At the Galerna Harbor in St Petersburg, a church with five cupolas was built in honor of the Merciful Mother of God, and into it was placed a grace-bearing copy of the “It Is Truly Meet” icon sent from Mt Athos.
The hymn in Greek is:
Ἄξιόν ἐστιν ὡς ἀληθῶς,
μακαρίζειν σε τὴν Θεοτόκον,
τὴν ἀειμακάριστον καὶ παναμώμητον
καὶ μητέρα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν.
Τὴν τιμιωτέραν τῶν Χερουβεὶμ
καὶ ἐνδοξοτέραν ἀσυγκρίτως τῶν Σεραφείμ,
τὴν ἀδιαφθόρως Θεὸν Λόγον τεκοῦσαν,
τὴν ὄντως Θεοτόκον,
σὲ μεγαλύνομεν.

An account of the Holy ArchAngel is located under 26 March and 8 November.
● SYNAXIS OF HILANDAR 希兰达尔 SAINTS, Mt Athos 纪念阿托斯圣山希兰达尔修道院全体圣徒
The Hilandar Monastery (Μονή Χιλανδαρίου) is one of the twenty Eastern Orthodox monasteries in Mount Athos in Greece. It was founded in 1198 by Archbishop of the Serbian Church Saint Sava and his father and founder of the Nemanjić dynasty Grand Prince Stefan Nemanja, who upon relinquishing his crown, took monastic vows to become ordinary monk Symeon in Hilandar. The monastery represents a focal point of Serbian religious and secular culture, as well as "the first Serbian university". It is ranked fourth in the Athonite hierarchy of 20 sovereign monasteries. The Mother of God through her Icon of the Three Hands (Trojeručica), is considered the monastery's abbess. Etymological meaning of "Hilandar" is probably derived from Greek word chelandion, which is a type of Byzantine transport ship, whose skipper was called "helandaris".
希利安达里乌修道院 ― 是希腊阿索斯山的一个塞尔维亚正教会修道院，由塞尔维亚正教会首任大主教圣萨瓦和他的父亲、放弃王位出家修道的尼曼雅王朝首任大茹潘斯特凡•尼曼雅一世（西緬修士）创建于1198年。该修道院代表塞尔维亚宗教和世俗文化的焦点，以及“塞尔维亚第一所大学”。它在阿索斯山的20座修道院中排名第四位。该修道院内约45名修士。
Resulting in the flank of the former Byzantine Empire, the successor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Mount Athos is the last living remnant of this millennial civilization that the power of his imperial ideology, philosophical ideas, religious and cultural patterns influenced on the whole world at that time, especially on the Orthodox nations, which still takes the strength of that living source. The greatest treasures of Mount Athos are monks who are carriers of monasticism, bearers of the word of God to the world. One of the few Serbian builders monasteries of Mount Athos is Chilandar, Orthodox spiritual center, the medieval city, spiritual, cultural and national treasures of Serbs, Serbian mirror of the soul, pride, consolation and way to the Lord. It takes a lot of time, space, energy, will and knowledge to present Chilandar. What makes it great are the deeds and words which Chilandar donated us to the lap time and the eternal faith of Christ and the cross in which all and where everything is. Hilandar`s heritage is out of time and space. Chilandar Monastery is the first Serbian university and one of the oldest in the world. In terms of literature, religion, the study of nature, medicine, according to all of the criteria was a real university, who is trained by the best experts in these areas at this time. The monastery keeps the largest collection of Serbian charters, relics, relics of saints, old icons. Hilandar has the largest collection of miraculous icons in the world, even eight of which are the most valuable and most respected in the cristian world: the icon of the Virgin with three hands (Bogorodica Trojeručica); the icon of Christ Pantocrator, which is the most beautiful icon of Christ on the planet and icons of Holy Virgin- Odigitria, which is considered the greatest masterpiece of Byzantine art of the thirteenth century. Here is the largest library of manuscripts of the Serbian people, the largest collection of coppercut and copperwrite plates, old textiles of worship, old church plates, woodcarving works, porcelain, gold objects, crosses and the most beautiful church on Mount Athos in the judgment of Byzantine. In Hilandar was founded Serbian literacy, translation and copying activities, there is conceived Serbian medieval state of law and diplomacy, and established one of the first Serbian hospital. A place where Moravian architecture reaches its peak, through which during the last eight centuries greatest artists of icon painting and frescoes. Chilandar to the fifteenth century possessed over 30 major land`s properties – Metochia`s in Europe and Asia with over 360 villages and vast spiritual, human and material resources which can measure the power of the state. In a word, what is preserved in Hilandar is greater than the preserved heritage in all other Serbian monasteries. The aim of this website is to inform the general public about the greatest treasure of the monastery Chilandar, yet only briefly, because the story was too big, but yet small for a Chilandar.

The Persian king had given Esdras a letter ordering the satraps beyond the Euphrates to aid him to enforce observance of the Mosaic Law in Judea. Esdras brought with him an exemption from taxation for the temple officials, and gifts from Artaxerxes and the Jews of Babylon. With these the temple worship was to be enhanced and subsidized. Within a year mixed marriages, of which even priests had been guilty, were dissolved. In 444 B.C., after the walls of Jerusalem had been rebuilt, the Law was read to the assembled multitude, whereupon the Feast of Tabernacles and the Day of Atonement were observed. There followed the renewal of the Covenant, which all solemnly agreed to keep. By Esdras and Nehemias the restoration of the Law was effected. The measures which Esdras himself effected determined in great part the organization and practise of later Judaism. The Talmud assigns to him the compilation of the Books of Paralipomenon. He is also credited with the collection of the canonical books of the Old Testament extant in his time. Jewish tradition regards him as the author of the Books of Esdras.

● • The First Recorded Miracle of St SPYRIDON in Kerkyra
On the 13th of July the Orthodox Church celebrates the miracle of our Holy Father Spyridon the Wonderworker, who gave sight to the blind man Theodore. In 1577 the Venetians undertook a construction project outside of the fortifications of the city, which resulted in the demolition of the Church of Saint Spyridon in Koukounaria, which was near the Jewish cemetery and housed the incorrupt relics of the Saint for many years. No trace of this church exists today, yet it was in this church that St Spyridon worked his first recorded miracle, giving sight to the blind man Theodore. For many years, whenever people passed by the area of this church, they would do their cross and speak of this miracle with astonishment. Konstantinos Tsagaras, hearing of this miracle and wanting to honor the Saint for working his wonder in his neighborhood, decided in 1700 to build a chapel to St Spyridon in Sarokou. On July 13, 1735 this chapel was consecrated to commemorate the miracle of St Spyridon healing the blind man.

• Icon of the Mother of God of THREE HANDS 三臂圣母像 (717) Hilandar, Mt Athos
In the ninth century during the time of the Iconoclasts, St John of Damascus was zealous in his veneration of the holy icons. Because of this, he was slandered by the emperor and iconoclast Leo III who informed the Damascus caliph that St John was committing treasonous acts. The caliph gave orders to cut off the hand of the monk and take it to the marketplace. That evening St John, having asked the caliph for the cut-off hand, put it to its joint and fell to the ground before the icon of the Mother of God. The monk begged Our Lady to heal his hand, which had written in defense of Orthodoxy. After praying he fell asleep and saw in a dream that the All-Pure Mother of God had turned to him promising him quick healing. The Mother of God directed him to toil without fail with this hand. Having awakened from sleep, St John saw that his hand was unharmed. In thankfulness for this healing, St John placed a hand fashioned of silver on the icon, from which the icon received its name “Of Three Hands.” (Some iconographers have mistakenly depicted the Most Holy Theotokos with three arms and three hands.) According to Tradition, St John wrote a hymn of thanksgiving to the Mother of God: “All of creation rejoices in You, O Full of Grace,” which appears in place of the hymn “It is Truly Meet” in the Liturgy of St Basil the Great. St John Damascene accepted monasticism at the St Sava the Sanctified Monastery and bestowed his wonderworking icon at that place. The Lavra presented the icon “Of Three Hands” in blessing to St Sava, Archbishop of Serbia. During the invasion of Serbia by the Turks, Christians who wished to protect the icon entrusted it to the safekeeping of the Mother of God Herself. They placed it upon a donkey, which without a driver proceeded to Mt Athos and stopped in front of the Hilandar Monastery. The monks put the icon in the monastery’s cathedral church. During a time of dissension over the choice of the abbott, the Mother of God appeared at the monastery Herself and came to rule it. From that time Her holy icon has occupied the abbott’s place in the temple. There is only a vicar at the Hilandar Monastery, and from the holy icon, the monks take a blessing for every obedience.

• "THE SELFPAINTED" (Panagia Prodromitissa) icon of the Most Holy Mother of God in the monastery Hilandar on Mount Athos, Moldavian (1863)
At the Romanian Skete of the Honorable Forerunner (Timios Prodromos in Greek) there is a miraculous icon of the Panagia. It is a rare icon of the Orthodox Church, because it was painted without human hands. This miracle of acheiropoiitos (created without hands) iconography came to be in the following manner. In the year 1863 the founders of the Skete, Fathers Niphon and Nektarios, wished to acquire a beautiful icon of the Panagia, like all the other Athonite monasteries. In Iasi, Romania they found a pious iconographer named Iordakin Nicholas, and they asked him to paint with prayer and fasting the icon they desired. The iconographer agreed, and with much reverence began his work. While he daily read the Supplication Service to the Most Holy Theotokos, in the beginning he painted the vestments of the Panagia and the Lord. Then he tried to paint the face, but failed. Pained and troubled he stopped the iconography, covered the icon with a cloth, locked the lab, and retired to his room to pray harder. The next day, wanting to make an effort to paint the divine faces, he entered the lab. When he withdrew the cloth which was over the icon, he beheld a wonder of the Lord. He was amazed to see that the sacred and all-holy faces were miraculously and perfectly made, and the icon was completed in its current form. The fathers of the Romanian Skete received and transferred the wondrous icon to Mount Athos. During the journey it accomplished numerous miracles and continues to work miracles today, to the glory of our Holy Triune God and the salvation of the faithful. It is celebrated on July 12th.

• M JASON (1st c.) torn apart by wild animals
Jason was a friend and host of Saint Paul (Acts 17:5) in Salonka, Thessalonica, during his second missionary journey. Jason was a prominent convert to Christianity and is probably the same Jason with Sosipater mentioned by Saint Paul in the Epistle to the Romans (16:21). In the Greek legend Jason is described as the bishop of Tarsus, Cilicia, who, with Sosipater, evangelized Corfu, where Jason died. Syrian legend says he evangelized the area around Apamea and was martyred there by being thrown to wild beasts. The Roman Martyrology wrongly identifies him with the Mnason mentioned in Acts 21:16, "a Cyprian, an old disciple," with whom Saint Paul was staying in Jerusalem and whom tradition makes bishop of Tamasus in Cyprus.

With his wife's approval, he became a monk on Mount Olympus in Bithynia. Travelled to Constantinople to his son, who was being held hostage by the emperor. Euthymius then joined his father as a monk. Their holiness attracted would-be followers, so they retired to the monastery of Saint Athanasius on Mount Athos in Macedonia. With John's brother-in-law, retired general John Thornikos, and Euthymius, John founded Iviron (Iweron) monastery on Mount Athos; Saint John served as its first abbot. The monastery is still in use, though now by Greek Orthodox monks.
