Afterfeast of the Meeting of our Lord in the Temple
ALL OF THE VENERABLE FATHERS who lit up with great deeds // MOVABLE HOLIDAY ON SATURDAY OF THE CHEESE-FARE WEEK //
In the Orthodox Church the term "Venerable" is commonly used as the English-language translation of the title given to monastic saints (Greek: Hosios, Church Slavonic: Prepodobni; both Greek and Church Slavonic forms are masculinum). A monastic saint who was martyred for the Orthodox faith is referred to as "Venerable Martyr". In the 20th century, some English-language Orthodox sources began to use the term "Venerable" to refer to a righteous person who was a candidate for glorification (canonization), most famously in the case of Saint John of Shanghai and San Francisco; however, this has not altered the original usage of this term in reference to monastic saints.
Saint Jadorus suffered martyrdom with Saint Isidore (not Isidore of Pelusium) in the reign of Decius (249-251).

The Monks Avraamii (Abraham) and Koprii of Pechengsk in 1492 founded the Saviour wilderness monastery at the River Pechenga, in Gryazovetsk district, 21 versts from Vologda. There was much work and need also to transport in the necessities to the wilderness spot, which was lacking in means, so as to build the monastery and set everything in proper order. The blessed toilers did not spare themselves, zealously asceticising right up to their very end.

• Venerable monk ISIDORE 伊息多若 of Pelusium (436-440)
Ὁ Ὅσιος Ἰσίδωρος ο Πηλουσιώτης
He was an ardent defender of Saint John Chrysostom against Theophilos of Alexandria, and was Saint Cyril the Great's cousellor against the heretic Nestorius. Thanks to his life of prayer, he instructed and illumined the entire world by his numerous letters, converting sinners, supporting the just, and clearly explaining passages from Holy Scripture to those who asked him. We have still extant two thousand and twelve of his letters, abounding with excellent instructions of piety, and with theological and critical learning. They are concise, and the style natural, very elegant, agreeable, full of fire and penetration. Possevin laments that they are not in use as a classic author for the Greek language. His prudence, undaunted zeal, profound humility, ardent love of God, and other virtues, shine admirably in them. The Church historian Evagrius (6th c.) writes of Saint Isidore, "his life seemed to everyone the life of an angel upon the earth." Another historian, Nicephorus Callistus (ninth century), praises Saint Isidore thus: "He was a vital and inspired pillar of monastic rules and divine vision, and as such he presented a very lofty image of most fervent example and spiritual teaching."

Ὁ Ἅγιος Θεόκτιστος ὁ Μάρτυρας
• THEODOSIOS the Righteous
• THEOPHILUS the Penitent (538)
Likely to be a legendary figure. A 10th c. Latin play by Hrosvitha of Gandesheim depicts Theophilus as administrator (or archdeacon) of Adana, Cilicia, who declined a bishopric because of his humility. He was deposed of his office in the Church by the man who became bishop and was so furious that he made a pact with Satan, who had him restored to his position. He later repented, appealed to Our Lady, found the pact he had signed with satan on his chest when he awoke on morning, did penance for his deed, made a public confession of his sin, and had the bishop burn the pact before the congregation. This story, of course, is the basis of Goethe's Faust.
In art Saint Theophilus is an archdeacon making a pact with the devil from which he is rescued by the Virgin; sometimes she is shown handing him back the contract. There is an interesting representation of this on the Romanesque portal at Souillac, Languedoc, France.
