• MEMNON 麦穆农 archbishop of Ephesus (5th c.)
Ὁ Ἅγιος Μέμνων Ἀρχιεπίσκοπος Ἐφέσου
• 默德斯特 MODESTUS II archbishop of Jerusalem (634)
Prayer of Saint Modestos Bishop of Jerusalem, said in the case of every fatal sickness and danger to oxen, horses, donkeys, mules, sheep, goats, bees, and any other animals:
O Lord Jesus Christ my God, Who are merciful and All-good, Who in wisdom created every visible and invisible creature, Who pours out His compassions upon all that He has created, Who through Your all-good Providence foresees and troubles over for all Your creatures: bodiless, physical, rational, irrational, soul-bearing, soulless, from the first to the last. For there is nothing that is not foreseen, neither is there anything abandoned by You, the Fashioner and Foreseer of all. For You are He Who opens His hand, and fills all living things with goodness. You are He makes grass to grow for the cattle, and green herb for the service of men. You are He Who once preserved from above the animal herd of Israel, from the fatal wound of the first-born animals of the Egyptians. You are He Who, through the compassion of Your incarnation, deposed he who had the might of death: that is, the devil, and by Your death, You put death to death.
You are He Who, through myself Your unworthy servant, put to death the serpent, that corrupted the spring of water. Those that drank from it, both the living and the dead, through Your life-giving power, you resurrected. And the demon that was in cooperation with the serpent, as it prepared to make itself apparent, swore, that it would never dare to approach the place in which my humble name is invoked. To You, therefore, I pray, O All-good Master and Fashioner of all, and I entreat You, the Cause of all life, hearken to this my entreaty, and drive away every fatal sickness and danger from the oxen, horses, donkeys, mules, sheep, goats, bees, and any other animals in true need to the life of Your servants who call upon You, the Giver of every good, and upon my name. And grant, O Lord, to all those who celebrate my name, and with faith hasten to my relics, permanent peace, multiplication of animals, uncorrupted wheat, wine and oil, and above all, remission of sins, health of bodies, and eternal salvation of souls.
Yes, O Lord Jesus Christ, for the descendants from Your very loins, grant compassion on the suffering animals, the herd of which is being afflicted by the sickle of death. And not having any word besides bellowing, and bitter and random noises, in Your mercy, take away their suffering and pain. For if You even call rational beings to this sympathy: "A righteous man has compassion upon his animals", as is written, how much more do You show compassion on these, Who are their Fashioner and Foreseer? For You, O compassionate one, preserved the animals in the Ark, as Your goodness and compassion won out. That by the wellness and multiplication of the oxen, and the remaining four-legged animals, the earth might be worked, and fruit might be harvested, and that bounteously Your servants who call upon my name will partake of their very harvest. And that through these, having all things that are necessary, might be increased in every good work, and glorify You, Who grants every good thing. And grant me also, Your servant and most-fervent entreater, the honor of Your all-governing Kingdom, for to You belong all glory, honor and worship, with Your beginningless Father, and Your All-Holy and good and life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

• Righteous Great Princess Venerabless SOPHIA 索斐亚 (in the world Solomonia 索洛默尼亚 Saburova, Princess of Moscow and of the Suzal) of Suzal, the Nun, the wonderworker, who dwelt at the Protection monastery (1542) a Monastic Martyr, a velvet veil with depiction of the Savior and other saints
Saint Sophia, in the world Solomonia, a Great Princess, was the daughter of the noble Yuri Saburov. In the year 1505 she was chosen as bride by the heir to the throne, the future Great Prince Basil (Grand Duke Basil III of Moscow). Their marriage was unhappy, because Solomonia remained childless, so he divorced her. In order to have an heir, Great Prince Basil decided to wed a second time (to Elena Glinsky) and on November 25, 1525 he ordered Solomonia to become a nun. Forcibly tonsured with the name Sophia, Solomonia was sent under guard to the Suzdal Protection convent, where by ascetic deeds she banished from her heart worldly thoughts, and totally dedicated herself to God.

• Blessed Wonderworker THEOPHANIA (Theophano) 德奥法尼亚 Martiniake, the Empress of Byzantium (892/894) wife of the Emperor Leo VI the Wise
Η Αγία Θεοφανώ η βασίλισσα
Ἡ Ἁγία Θεοφανώ
The Feast of All Saints, originally dedicated to the martyrs, achieved great prominence in the 9th century, in the reign of the Roman Emperor Leo VI the Wise (886-911). His wife, the Holy Empress Theophano (commemorated on December 16) lived in the world, but was not attached to worldly things. She was a great benefactor to the poor, and was generous to the monasteries. She was a true mother to her subjects, caring for widows and orphans, and consoling the sorrowful. Theophano devoted most of her days to prayers, psalms and hymns to God. She was reportedly the builder or patron of the Monastery of Saint Anastasia the Protector from Potions (Hagia Anastasia Pharmakolytria) in Halki island, the second largest of the Princes' Islands in the Sea of Marmara, near Constantinople. Even before the death of St Theophano in 893 or 894, her husband started to build a church, intending to dedicate it to Theophano, but she forbade him to do so. It was this emperor who decreed that the Sunday after Pentecost be dedicated to All Saints. Believing that his wife was one of the righteous, he knew that she would also be honored whenever the Feast of All Saints was celebrated. According to tradition, it was Leo who expanded the feast from a commemoration of All Martyrs to a general commemoration of All Saints, whether martyrs or not.
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.
