• Venerable AGAPIUS 阿伽彼 of Vatopedi Skete of Kolitsou on Mt Athos (1286) and his 4 Companions
Ὁ Ὅσιος Ἀγάπιος
He was a novice under the spiritual direction of a priest in the Vatopedi Monastery on Mt Athos. Captured by pirates, Agapius was sold as a slave in Magnesia. After twelve years, he was miraculously freed through the help of the All Holy Mother of God and returned to Vatopedi. The Queen of Heaven manifested Her Mercy to the patient sufferer. She appeared to him in a dream and ordered him "to go to his Elder without fear." When he awoke, he saw that he was free of his bonds, and the doors were open. Without hindrance, Saint Agapius departed from his master and returned to Mount Athos. The Elder grieved when he saw his novice, for he thought that Agapius had secretly escaped from his master. "You have deceived the Hagarene," he said, "but no one can deceive God. If you wish to save yourself, return to your master and serve him." Saint Agapius returned to his master without complaint. The Moslem was amazed to see Agapius after he had escaped. Hearing the story of what had happened, he was struck by the virtue of Agapius' Elder and the loftiness of the Christian Faith. The master and his two sons went to the Holy Mountain with Saint Agapius. There they were baptized by him and became monks, living in asceticism for the rest of their lives. He baptized his former master and became his spiritual father. Agapius continued the remainder of his life in asceticism in Vatopedi and died peacefully in the Lord.

Ὁ Ἅγιος Δαβὶδ ὁ Ἀρχιεπίσκοπος
Born in south Wales, Saint David, Patron of Wales, said to have been the son of a Welsh chieftain, lived in the latter half of the sixth century. Ordained to the priesthood, he studied under the tutorship of a disciple of Saint Germanus, who later became Bishop of the Isle of Man, and engaged in missionary work and the building of churches in many places. Eventually, he settled in the southwest corner of Wales, at Menevia. There he founded a monastery known for its extreme austerity, in imitation of the desert fathers. The monks lived a very ascetic life and their monastery became a seedbed of saints. Eventually he was consecrated Bishop of the primatial See of Wales, Mynyw (Menevia) in the far west, afterwards known as Saint David’s in his honor. He attended the Council of Brefi in c 545. The foundation of a dozen monasteries and many miracles are attributed to him. He reposed in the Lord about the year 601 AD and, through the years, has been venerated as one of the greatest and most beloved saints of the British Isles.
His final words to the community of monks were: "Brothers be ye constant. The yoke which with single mind ye have taken, bear ye to the end; and whatsoever ye have seen with me and heard, keep and fulfil." His relics survive and are enshrined in the Cathedral and he is the Patron Saint of Wales. St David was interred in the Church of St Andrew, Menevia. After the Saint's death this monastic church came to be called St David's – as was also the whole town and district around – which designation is continued to the present day. In fact the whole Wrlsh nation is frequently styled "Dewiland". During the reign of the Anglo-Saxon King, Edgar, in the year 962, the relics of St David were translated with great solemnity to Glastonbury Abbey.

Ἡ Ἁγία Εὐδοκία ἡ Μάρτυς
For a long time from her youth she led a sinful life. Her beauty was such that no artist could adequately portray her, and she attracted a number of men not only from her own area, but from other cities as well. Many of these suitors were rich and powerful, and they would heap large sums of money and gifts upon Eudokia in return for a moments pleasure. She would then brush them aside, while amassing her ill-gotten fortune. This caused her soul to deaden and her heart to harden. Eudokia awoke one night at midnight and heard singing from the house of a Christian woman next to hers. A monk was reading prayers which described the Last Judgment, the punishment of sinners, and the reward of the righteous. The grace of God touched Eudokia's heart, and she grieved because of her great wealth and for her sinful life. In the morning Eudokia hastened to call on the man that she heard the previous night. This was a monk named Germanos, returning from pilgrimage to the holy places to his own monastery. Eudokia listened for a long time to the guidance of the Elder, and her soul was filled with joy and love for Christ. She asked Germanos to stay in her home for a week, during which she secluded herself in her room, and spent her time in fasting and prayer. When her week of seclusion was completed and she experienced a division vision that manifested the compassion of God which receives penitent sinners, Germanos told her to give away her wealth and to forget her previous life. Eudokia received holy Baptism from Bishop Theodotos of Heliopolis. After this Eudokia consigned all her wealth and belongings and properties to the Bishop to distribute to the poor, keeping nothing for herself. She entered a monastery of thirty nuns and took upon herself very strict acts of penitence, never removing her baptismal garment. The Lord granted forgiveness to the penitent sinner and endowed her with spiritual gifts.
