• Finding of the Holy Icon of PANAGIA ELEISTRIA in Koroni of Messenia, Greece (1897)
Εὕρεσις Ἱερᾶς Εἰκόνας Παναγίας Ἐλεηστρίας Κορώνης
On January 22nd our Holy Church honors the miraculous finding of the Sacred Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos Eleistria in Koroni, which was found in 1897 in Koroni of Messenia, Greece. The discovery of the miraculous icon of the Eleistria is based on a vision of a most pious old woman from Koroni named Maria G Stathakis. For fifteen years this woman saw in her sleep a divine vision of the figure of the Theotokos, who indicated to her the location of three icons, one of Christ Crucified, one of the Theotokos and one of the Luke the Evangelist. Below are some of the dreams of this elderly woman:
One night she dreamed she was in the area where now there has been built a church to Panagia Eleistria. There appeared before her a woman dressed in white, who told her: "Tell your townspeople to come and dig in this place and they will find three small icons within a rock crevice. In that place they are to build a church. The foundations of the church should be on this wall that I have protected from earthquakes, wars and natural disasters." She saw this dream every September for three years. Another time during the excavations, before the icons were found, she saw that they would find a tank with a ladder. Of course these divine visions that were seen by this revered woman she declined to announce to the townspeople out of fear of being ridiculed and being considered crazy. But in 1897 the Virgin appeared once again and urgently ordered her to see to the excavations for the holy icons in the place previously indicated to her. With fear the old lady then announced her visions. Thus teams of men and women of every age and class, from Koroni and the surrounding area, began to excavate with reverence and eagerness in the place indicated by the woman. After a few days the tank and ladder were found, but because they could not find the holy icons, they began to relax in their work and eventually all work stopped. Immediately however the Theotokos appeared to the old woman and ordered that they continue their work until the holy icons were found and a church was built. As a sign for those who objected or despised the divine vision, she announced that there would appear in the wrist of her right hand three black seals. Indeed, one morning there appeared on the wrist of her right hand the three seals. When this sign became known to the people of Koroni, it caused great excitement! Immediately many rushed to the holy place and resumed the excavations with greater reverence and eagerness than before. After ten days of continuous work, the Divine Grace of the Theotokos was pleased to bring about success. For in a large fissure of a huge stone block there were found the desired icons on the 21st, 22nd and 23rd of January in 1897. On the first day was found the icon of Christ Crucified, on the second the icon of the Theotokos, and on the third day the icon of Saint Luke together with a piece from a priestly stole and part of a pincer. The discovery of the icons brought to the residents of Koroni and the surrounding villages enormous excitement, causing a massive amount of people to come to the place of discovery. With all kinds of offerings and a lot of personal work, the construction of the church was accomplished in a short time, according to the suggestions of the old woman. The inauguration took place on December 26, 1900, a Tuesday, by Metropolitan Gabriel Petroudakis, former Metropolitan of Nikopolis, who was from Leros and had come for this occasion from Athens.
They preached the Gospel in the Spanish Pyrenees and were martyred with St Victor at Puigeerda near Gerona in Spain. Their relics were later taken to Embrun in France.

• Glorification (2012) of Anti-Nazi Martyr Passion bearer ALEXANDER 亞歷山大 Schmorell 許墨瑞 (1917-1943) of Munich // JUL 13 // SEP 16 BIRTHDAY // FEB 4/5 GLORIFICATION //
His friends gave him the nickname "Schurik", a nickname he would be called by his closer friends for the rest of his life.
Alexander Schmorell was sentenced to death on 19 April 1943 at the Volksgerichtshof (People's Court) in the second trial against the White Rose. In the letters he wrote from prison he tried to console his family and assured them that he was at peace with his fate and not fearful of death. On 13 July 1943, at the age of 25, Schmorell was put to death by guillotine at the Munich-Stadelheim Prison. His cause, as a refugee from both the genocide of Soviet Communism and as a victim of the racism of Nazi Paganism, reminds us how all Orthodox in the last century suffered from the post-Christian extremes of Western European ideologies. Only when Europe returns to its Christian roots, of being a Spiritual Europe, will the White Rose’s vision of genuine freedom and honour and a New Europe be realised.
亞歷山大•許墨瑞，1917年9月16日生於俄羅斯奧倫堡，1943年7月13日於慕尼黑被處決。其為5個於1942年6月到1943年2月間，發起白玫瑰（Weiße Rose）反抗納粹運動的慕尼黑大學學生之一。許墨瑞的父親為一個出生在德國，但在俄羅斯發跡的醫生。而許墨瑞的母親則是一個俄羅斯人，為一名俄羅斯正教會牧師的女兒，許墨瑞便是在俄羅斯正教會受洗。他的母親在他兩歲的時候，因為斑疹傷寒而於俄國內戰期間病逝。1920年時，他的父親便娶了一個一樣是在俄羅斯長大的德國人為第二任妻子。1921年，當許墨瑞只有4歲時，為了逃離布爾什維克，於是他們舉家從俄羅斯遷移到了德國慕尼黑。而他的俄羅斯籍褓母也隨同他們一家搬到了德國，於許墨瑞成長的過程中扮演著他已故母親的角色。也因為這樣的生長環境，所以亞歷山大•許墨瑞同時會說德語和俄羅斯語。他認為他自己同時是德國人和俄羅斯人。在他通過高中畢業會考（Abitur）之後，他被徵召加入帝國勞動隊（Reichsarbeitsdienst），接著進入德意志國防軍（納粹德國的正規部隊）。1938年時，他參與了德奧合併以及德國入侵捷克斯洛伐克的軍事行動，在他服完兵役以後，許墨瑞於1939年在漢堡成為醫學院的學生。1940年秋天時，他回到慕尼黑，在此，他認識了漢斯•索爾和維利•格拉夫，並且和他們一起從事白玫瑰反抗行動，參與了白玫瑰前四封反納粹傳單的製作。且在第二份傳單中，許墨瑞寫了一段文章表達其對於猶太人大屠殺的抗議。1942年6月，許墨瑞做為一個軍醫，和漢斯•索爾、維利•格拉夫一起參加德蘇戰爭的巴巴羅薩作戰，且對於納粹對待敵軍和敵國人們的方式相當不滿。從俄羅斯返國後，於1942到1943年期間，他繼續在慕尼黑當一個醫學院的學生。1942年12月，許墨瑞和漢斯•索爾與庫特•胡伯教授連絡。他們在1943年時一起寫了第5份傳單：「呼籲所有的德國人！」（Aufruf an alle Deutschen!），然後由許墨瑞將傳單發散到奧地利的城鎮中。另外，他也和漢斯•索爾以及維利•格拉夫一起在慕尼黑各個建築的牆上塗鴉「打倒希特勒」（Nieder mit Hitler）和「自由」（Freiheit）的標語。在克里斯多福•波普斯特和漢斯•索爾以及他妹妹蘇菲•索爾遭到逮捕之後，許墨瑞曾經嘗試逃到瑞士，然而他最終仍然在1943年2月24日遭到逮捕，當天是他朋友的喪禮日，他在空襲庇護所中被認了出來。亞歷山大•許墨瑞於1943年4月19日在白玫瑰案的第二次審理程序中，遭到人民法庭（Volksgerichtshof）判處死刑。在他從獄中寫給家人的信裡面，他試著安慰他的家人，向他們表示他的心情感到非常的平靜，而且他將對死亡無所畏懼。1943年7月13日，許墨爾和庫特•胡伯一起被送上了斷頭台，時年25歲。
• Hosiosmartyr ANASTASIUS 阿纳斯塔西 the Persian (also known as Magundat) (628)
Ὁ Ἅγιος Ἀναστάσιος ὁ Ὁσιομάρτυρας ὁ Πέρσης
可敬的殉道者阿纳斯塔西
阿纳斯塔西出生于波斯，原名为马棍达特，这是个异教徒的名字。当皇帝希拉克略同波斯人交战时，马棍达特投奔了基督徒，来到了耶路撒冷，在那里他接受了浸礼，得名阿纳斯塔西。对他来说仅仅接受浸礼是不够的，为了全心全意服侍上帝，他剪发成了一名修士。在日常的修行生活中，他还乐于阅读殉道圣徒的传记。阅读时他痛哭流涕，把书本都浸湿了，并热切地向往殉道。上帝最终将殉道者的花冠戴在了他的头上。在多年的监狱生活中，他遭受了严刑拷打，直到乔兹罗斯皇帝判处他死刑为止。阿纳斯塔西被溺水而死，从水中捞出来之后，又遭到了斩首，刽子手将他的头交给了皇帝。阿纳斯塔西于公元628年1月22日在尼尼微附近的贝萨罗城殉道。
Pagan magician. Soldier in the army of Persian king Khusrow II during the campaign that brought the Holy Cross from Jerusalem to Persia. Magundat was so impressed by the obvious power of the relic, and the devotion and sanctity of the Christians who flocked to it, that he converted to Christianity, left the army, took the name Anastasius, and became a monk in Jerusalem. After seven years of prayer and solitude, Anastasius returned to Persia to convert his countrymen. He was soon arrested for his faith, and was promised high honours if he would deny Christ and return to the service of Khusrow; he declined. Martyred with about 70 other Christians whose names have not come down to us.

提摩泰是七十使徒之一。他出生于利考尼亚的里斯特拉，父亲是希腊人，母亲是犹太人。使徒帕弗罗赞美提摩泰的母亲和外祖母，因为她们对信仰非常虔诚：“纪念你的眼泪，昼夜切切地想要见你，好叫我满心快乐。想到你心里无伪之信，这信是先在你外祖母罗以和你母亲友尼基心里的，我深信也在你的心里”（致提摩泰书二／提后／弟后1：4－5）。提摩泰起初在里斯特拉遇到这位伟大的圣徒，并亲眼目睹了帕弗罗医治天生瘸腿的病人。之后，提摩泰几乎一直都跟随着帕弗罗，同他一起去亚该亚、马其顿、意大利和西班牙。他平易近人，对信仰充满巨大的热忱，是一位卓越的讲道者。提摩泰在传播和建立基督信仰的过程中作出了巨大贡献。帕弗罗称提摩泰为他“信仰上的儿子”。“作基督耶稣使徒的帕弗罗，写信给那因信主作我真儿子的提摩泰。愿恩惠、怜悯、平安，从父上帝和我们主耶稣基督归与你”（致提摩泰书一／提前／弟前1：1－2）。在帕弗罗殉道后，提摩泰追随福音书的作者约安作为老师。但是当皇帝德门蒂安将约安从以弗所驱逐到帕特摩斯岛的时候，提摩泰继续留在以弗所任主教。在异教徒的一次敬拜偶像的节日里，对基督徒怀有恶意的异教徒化装偷袭了提摩泰，将其杀死，时约公元93年。之后，提摩泰的圣髑被转运到君士坦丁堡的十二圣徒大教堂内安葬，在提摩泰陵墓的旁边是著福音者路喀和首召的使徒安德烈的陵墓。
• Hieroconfessor bishop VALERIUS of Saragossa (315) a Deacon Saint Vincent's bishop with the stammer. He is said to have been arrested under Diocletian and shared Vincent's cruel imprisonment, but then was sent into exile
Bishop of Zaragoza, Spain from 290 to 315. Attended the Council of Iliberis. Imprisoned and then exiled during the persecutions of Diocletian, but returned to his see after the Edict of Toleration. Friend of Saint Vincent of Saragossa, who served as his deacon.
• Hieromartyr VINCENT the Deacon, of Saragossa, also known as Vincent of Aragon (304) born in Huesca in Spain, he became deacon of St Valerius in Saragossa and was martyred in Valencia under Diocletian. He has always been widely honoured. In some places he is honoured as the Patron of vinedressers, patron of bakers, roof-makers, sailors, schoolgirls, vine-dressers, vintners, tile-makers, and roofers. The Patron of vine-dressers and vintners may be due to the belief that he protects the fields against the frost that often occurs on or near his Feast Day in Burgundy
Ὁ Ἅγιος Βικέντιος ὁ Διάκονος
Everlasting God, to whom all hidden things are revealed, who sent into the world Thine Only Begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, conceived through the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, that He might take on Him the punishment of our sins, and by His resurrection snatch us from the gates of hell, grant to our hearts such steadfastness of faith that confessing Christ, Thy Son, we may not perish but may be joined to Him in the confession of Thy Holy Name. Amen. - Saint Vincent
"To you has been granted in Christ's behalf not only that you should believe in him but also that you should suffer for him." Vincent had received both these gifts and held them as his own. For how could he have them if he had not received them? And he displayed his faith in what he said, his endurance in what he suffered. No one ought to be confident in his own strength when he undergoes temptation. For whenever we endure evils courageously, our long-suffering comes from him Christ. He once said to his disciples: "In this world you will suffer persecution," and then, to allay their fears, he added, "but rest assured, I have conquered the world." There is no need to wonder then, my dearly beloved brothers, that Vincent conquered in him who conquered the world. It offers temptation to lead us astray; it strikes terror into us to break out spirit. Hence if our personal pleasures do not hold us captive, and if we are not frightened by brutality, then the world is overcome. At both of these approaches Christ rushes to our aid, and the Christian is not conquered. - from a sermon by Saint Augustine of Hippo
• WENDREDA, Fndr. of Convent, Hermitess of March
