• Transfer (1495) of The VILNO ("Vilensk") Icon of the Mother of God to Vilnüs
Σύναξις Ὑπεραγίας Θεοτόκου ἐν Βιλὲνσκ
The Vilensk Icon of the Mother of God was written by the holy Evangelist Luke. For a long time it was in the family of the Greek emperors at Constantinople. In 1472 Sophia Paleologa, spouse of the Moscow GreatPrince Ivan III (1462-1505), transferred the icon to Moscow. In 1495 the GreatPrince blessed his daughter Elena with this icon before giving her in marriage to the Lithuanian king Alexander. In honour of the transfer of the icon to Vilna a feast was established 15 February. Later on they placed the holy icon in the John the ForeRunner church, in which princess Elena was buried. And afterwards they transferred the icon to the Vilensk Holy Trinity monastery.
• The "Vienna that in the Ugra" Icon of the Mother of God (1570)
Σύναξις Ὑπεραγίας Θεοτόκου ἐν Βένσκ
Appearence of the Vienna icon, which was in Ugra, followed in 1570. Only her name makes one think that it was brought from the West. In contradiction with this, apparently, is the fact that the image of the Virgin on the Vienna icon is made in the Eastern Orthodox style, and not in the Western; it resembles the icon of the Holy Virgin icon of the Theotokos of St Eliah (March 10). But the contradiction is only apparent. Undoubtedly, there were a lot of Orthodox Christians in Vienna and Hungary. From them, the Vienna icon and could move to Russia, even after the separation of the Western Church from the Eastern. According to some accounts the icon of the Virgin "Vienna, that in the Ugra" passed to us in Russia is not direct from Hungary, but through Athos, where she was for some time in the monastery of St Dionysius. From Russia, she was later returned to Athos.

On February 28, Fr Mikhail was given a meeting with eldest daughter Anna. The meeting was through the bars. Michael asked: "Anna, give me your tress." Anna stretched the tress through the grate, and all of it was then wet. "Dad, why are you crying?" "It's very hard for me, because there are so many of you and you are left alone." The same night Anna saw in a dream, as the Mother of God give Communion from the golden cup to Michael. Anna woke up with the thought that her father would be released.

• Abbot BERACH (Barachias, Berachius, Barry) of Cluain Coirpthe in Connachta (6th c.) patron of Kilbarry, County Roscommon
From his birth he was cared for by his uncle St Freoch. A number of Lives of this saint have survived and they show him to have been a disciple of Saint Kevin of Glendalough. His first teacher was Saint Daigh (Dageus) of Iniscaoin, County Louth, and it was while a student there that Saint Berach worked one of his most famous miracles, as recorded by the Martyrology of Donegal. When he was a disciple to Bishop Daigh, son of Cairell, Daigh sent him to a certain mill in Magh Muirtheimhne with a sack of wheat to grind it, and he found a woman and a boy of the people of the territory before him at the mill, they having with them a sack of oats to grind it; and Berach asked of them their turn of the mill, but they did not give it to him, and they put together the oats and the wheat into the mill, and a division was made between them in the mill through the miracles of God and of Berach, so that the wheat was on one side and the oats on the other side without the admixture of the meal of the one with that of the other, as is evident in his life, in which many miracles and signs are read of.
Afterwards he became a disciple of St Kevin and founded a monastery at Clusin-Coirpte in Connaught. He is the Patron Saint of Kilbarry near Dublin in Ireland.
• DALMATUS abbot and founder of the Dormition Monastery in Siberia (1697)
Ὁ Ὅσιος Δαλμάτιος ὁ ἐκ Σιβηρίας
The Saint received a blessing from the Bishop of Tobolsk to build a wooden chapel and some cells. This was the beginning of the great Monastery of the Dormition (also called the Monastery of St Dalmatius). Over the years the brethren endured many tribulations. Once the Tatar Prince of the region, provoked by false rumors, planned to destroy the monastery and kill all the monks. The night before the attack, the holy Mother of God appeared to the prince in resplendent clothes, holding a flaming sword in one hand and a scourge in the other. She forbade the Prince to harm the monastery or the brethren, and commanded him to give them a permanent concession over the region. Convinced by this vision, the Prince made peace with the monks and became the Monastery's protector, though he was a Muslim. In the succeeding years the Monastery was repeatedly burned down by the fierce pagan tribes which inhabited the area; once all the monks except St Dalmatius himself were butchered, but always the monastery was rebuilt. The Saint reposed in peace in 1697, and was succeeded as abbot by his own son Isaac, who built a stone shrine at the Monastery to house the relics of the Saint and the icon of the Mother of God which he had kept with him throughout his monastic life.

For a certain period of time he went to Mount Athos, where he had a subordinate named Argyris. When John was in Thessaloniki, during a conversation with certain Turks, an argument ensued where the Turks accused John of wanting at one time to become a Muslim. John categorically denied their claim, so they led him to the bazaar, probably the central market of the city, and they executed him without trial by hanging him. This took place on Tuesday, at 4:00 AM, on the 15th of February in 1776. After he was hung, the Turks threw his relic into the sea.

Saint Paphnutius had the gift of tears, which Saint John of the Ladder says (Step 6:1) is preceded by the remembrance of death. For worldly people, this remembrance may lead to fear and distress, but for Saint Paphnutius it led to constant prayer and the guarding of his mind. By remembering the hour of death and God’s judgment, Saint Paphnutius was able to free himself from worldly distractions and passions through prayer, repentance and fasting. This, in turn, led to tears.
