Saint Charalampos, a priest, lived in Magnesia under Emperor Septimus Severus (193-211) and President Lucian. Because he taught the true life, he was seized and stripped of his priestly robe. His skin was flayed. Irritated by the Saint's endurance, the President insisted on scraping his body with his own hands. On the spot, he had his hands cut off and thrown on the martyr's body. Then he implored the Saint to heal him, which he did. Upon seeing this, two men, Dauctus and Porphyrios, the executioners, repudiated the idols and believed in Christ, as well as did three women who were in the crowd. Although miraculously cured the President persisted in his impiety and had all of them seized. After many tortures, he cruelly ordered them to be beheaded.

Ὁ Ὅσιος Πρόχορος ἐκ Ρωσίας
Prochorus was a miracle-worker of the Monastery of the Caves in Kiev. He is called the Orach-Eater because during the time that he lived in the Monastery of the Caves he did not taste of bread, rather he fed on orach, mixing it in his own way and from it prepared a type of bread. Whenever he would give someone his orach bread with a blessing, the bread tasted sweet as though prepared from honey; if someone stole the bread, it was as bitter as wormwood. One time when there was a shortage of salt in Russia, Prochorus distributed ashes to the people as though it were salt. The ashes, which he distributed with his blessing, were as salt. However, the ashes which someone would take on their own, was as ordinary ashes. Prince Svyatopolk ordered all the ashes from Prochorus' cell be taken to his palace without the permission and the blessing of the monk, Prochorus. When the ashes were removed, those who tasted of it were convinced that it was ashes and not salt. Then Prochorus told the people who came to him for salt to go to the emperor's palace and when the prince tosses out the ashes from his residence, to take them and carry them home as though they were salt. The people did so and again, the ashes were as salt. Believing in this, the prince himself was filled with respect and love toward the holy Prochorus, so that when he died in the year 1107 A.D., the prince, with his own hands, placed Prochorus in the tomb along side the great Russian Saints Anthony and Theodosius.

They lived in neighboring monasteries; though they loved one another dearly, they met only once a year, spending the day in prayer and spiritual conversation, then parting after sharing a simple meal. At their meeting in 543, she prevailed on her brother (and the monk who accompanied him) to break his own monastic rule and stay with her in vigil through the night. Three days later, as Benedict looked out his cell window, he saw his sister's soul in the form of a dove ascending to heaven.
• SILVANUS Bishop of Terracina in Italy
Bishop Silvanus of Terracina is described in the Roman Martyrology as a Confessor, which would mean that he had suffered for the faith by imprisonment, torture or, perhaps, even death.
• VM SOTERIS (also Soteria) at Rome (304)
As a young Christian woman of Rome, Soteris, intent upon protecting her chastity with modesty, renounced the wearing of any finery that would have drawn attention to her exceptional beauty. During one of the many waves of persecution under the pagan Roman emperors, Soteris was arrested for her faith. After refusing to deny Christ before the judge interrogating her, she was repeatedly struck in the face. The Church Father Saint Ambrose, who was proud to be a descendant of Soteris' family, relates that, as Soteris was undergoing this torment, "she did not bend her head, did not turn her face away, did not emit a sigh or tear". Rather, Soteris considered herself honored to suffer what Christ had suffered when in his Passion he was struck in the face. Other tortures were also inflicted, but nothing was able to undermine Soteris' constancy. In the end, the judge ordered her to be beheaded.

• Holy Rightbelieving Wonderworker VLADIMIR Prince of Novgorod (1052) son of Prince Yaroslav (11th cent.)
• Venerable Righteous ZENO the Letter Carrier, hermit at Antioch, the Postman of Emperor Valens (4th c.)
Ὁ Ὅσιος Ζήνων ὁ Ταχυδρόμος
Μνήμη Θαύματος ἀπαλλαγῆς νήσου Ζακύνθου ἐκ τῆς πανώλης
Following the fall of various Venetian-occupied cities and forts in mainland Greece and the fall of Crete in 1669, Zakynthos became a key port for Venetian trade from and towards the Levant and Constantinople - where the Ottoman Turkish authorities lagged western Europe in disease prevention and control. Additionally, Zakynthos was only a short distance from the Peloponnese where again the Ottoman Turkish authorities were lax in enacting policies to prevent disease and building appropriate infrastructure to improve sanitary conditions and the health of the inhabitants of the area. Consequently, many merchants and sailors entered and exited the port of Zakynthos from Ottoman Turkish controlled ports - these merchants and sailors were sometimes unwilling to undergo the increasingly strict measures Zakynthos enacted to avoid plague, pestilence, cholera and other disease outbreaks. Therefore, the people of Zakynthos were at significant risk of being impacted by the plague, pestilence and other disease epidemics. Zakynthos did suffer from serious outbreaks of the plague in 1617, 1646, 1692 and 1728 and also smallpox in 1713, 1748 and 1778. One of the most famous victims of the 1728 plague was the painter and sometime doctor, Hieronymous Plakotos. He and his son died in his doctor's clinic and the local authorities decided to burn it, including his paintings, fearing a further outbreak. From the beginning of the 18th century the sanitary measures taken by the Venetian authorities and enacted by local Cittadini such as strict control of population movements and quarantine, improved lazarettos, better trained public health offices and coastal garrisons, reduced the incidences of outbreaks in the 18th century.
In the year 1728 George Xenos of Zakynthos had a dream in which he saw Saint Haralambos thwarting off the deadly plague. Immediately after this vision the spread of the horrible disease began to subsist, and the population of Zakynthos appealed to the Venetian authorities to ratify the building of a new stone church dedicated to Saint Haralambos in Potami. Permission was granted and a beautiful church was erected. Annually a procession took place on February 10th to commemorate the deliverance of Zakynthos from the plague of 1728 by Saint Haralambos. In 1732 the iconographer Nicholas Kallergis, who painted most of the images of the church, painted a processional icon depicting the deliverance of Zakynthos from the plague by Saint Haralambos, and this image was coated in silver in 1743.
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.
