• 穆罗姆地方之圣母像纪念日 "MUROM" (1127) Icon of the Mother of God
Σύναξις Ὑπεραγίας Θεοτόκου ἐν Μούρωμ Ρωσίας
The Muromsk Icon of the Mother of God was transferred to Murom from Kiev by the enlightener of this remote region, the holy Nobleborn prince Constantine (1129, Comm. 21 May). Saint Constantine urged the pagans to accept Christianity, but they were stubborn and decided to murder the prince. Having learned of this, the saint came out to the conspirators with the Icon of the Mother of God. The grace, issuing forth from Her Countenance, touched the hearts of the pagans. They changed their minds and themselves began to ask that Baptism be made over them. With this icon Sainted Vasilii of Ryazan (3 July) sailed on his mantle from Muron to Ryazan.
• "BELYNICH" (1240) Icon of the Mother of God
Σύναξις Ὑπεραγίας Θεοτόκου ἐν Μπελινὶτς τῆς Ρωσίας
The Belynich Icon of the Mother of God initially was situated in one of the Orthodox churches of the Mogilevsk district. After the emergence of the Unia (1596) the icon passed over to the Catholics and was set up in a church of the Belynich Catholic monastery, founded in 1622-1624 by the hetman of Great Lithuania, Lev Sapega, on the banks of the River Druta, 45 versts from Mogilev. The icon was venerated both by Catholics and by Orthodox. In 1832 the monastery was dissolved, and the Catholic church became a parish church. In 1876 it was given over to the Orthodox with a restoral of the monastery. On 12 April of that year in this temple was made a first Divine liturgy at the altar-table consecrated by an Orthodox bishop, in honour of the Nativity of the MostHoly Mother of God. The Belynich Icon of the Mother of God is something regarded holy in-common through the Christian world.
• The Icon of Panagia KAMARIOTISSA in Samothraki (Samothrace)
Σύναξις Ὑπεραγίας Θεοτόκου τῆς Καμαριώτισσας
In the village of Kamariotissa in Samothraki (Samothrace), at the port of the island in the Church of the Dormition of the Theotokos, is found the icon of Panagia Kamariotissa. It is honored and celebrated annually on the Thursday of Bright Week The icon was discovered some time during the days of Iconoclasm on the island on the Thursday of Bright Week that year. It is estimated to have been found in the first or second decade of the ninth century. One morning some fishermen were gathered in the cove in the northwest of the island where there is the current port, and as they engaged in arranging the nets they saw on the horizon a bright light without seeing anything floating in the sea. As time passed the light became more intense, and with their growing curiosity and surprise, as they could not explain what the light was they were seeing, it gradually approached them. It finally occurred to the fisherman to take their boats out to solve the mystery of the light. In one boat there were two men and in the other a man rowed to the light by himself, which was about a half mile away. They followed each other at a short distance. When they reached approximately a hundred fathoms from land they stopped rowing awaiting for the light to approach them. And this is what happened. The illuminated object came to them and stopped in between the two boats. As they looked closely they saw a sealed canister. The boat with two fishermen took the canister, with one fisherman holding it while the other led them to shore. The other boat followed, full of suspense. They reached shore, tied their boats, and gathered around the canister curious what treasure it contained. Indeed they found a priceless treasure, when they saw that it contained an icon of the Theotokos holding the child Jesus in her arms. It bore the name "Panagia Kamariotissa". Great awe and joy seized the fishermen. They glorified the Mother of God and the All-Good God. After venerating the icon they brought it in the middle of the night to their poor homes. The three boatmen revealed to everyone the circumstance of the discovery, and everyone considered it a miracle. They even related how when their boats stopped in the middle of the sea, it was because their hands became paralyzed and they could not row anymore. The names of the three fishermen, according to tradition, are Paul and his younger brother Raxi, the latter of the two being the one who carried the canister to shore; the third was named Lambros. That afternoon during lunch they discussed where to house the icon. Instead of it being kept in one of their homes, they decided instead to build a small church forty steps above the area where they found it, since there were ruins of an old church there already. They named it Panagia Kamariotissa and its celebration was done annually on the Thursday of Bright Week. Since then all the people of the island began celebrating "the feast of Kamariotissa". These fishermen together with the help of others on the island, despite their daily occupations, made it a point to always keep an oil lamp burning before this miraculous icon. In turn many miracles over the centuries have occurred for the inhabitants of the island. The Theotokos has truly become the protectress of the island.

• Venerabless Virgin ANTHUSA (also Anthousa) 安图萨 Nun of Constantinople (801)
Ἡ Ὁσία Ἀνθούσα
Ἀνθή
St Anthusa of Constantinople was the daughter of Iconoclast Emperor Constantine Copronymos from his first wife from among the Khazars. She and her brother, the future Emperor Leo the Khazar, were twins born on January 25, 750. The empress suffered with their birth. Constantine summoned Abbess Anthusa of Mantinea from prison and asked for her prayers. The abbess predicted the birth of the twins and their fate, and the daughter was named in her honor. When Anthusa became of age, the emperor urged her to marry. However, from her youth, St Anthusa yearned for monasticism and would not agree to her father's demands. After the death of her father, she used all her personal property to help the poor and the orphaned. The devout Empress Irene, wife of Leo the Khazar, regarded St Anthusa with love and esteem and invited her to be her co-regent. However, St Anthusa did not desire worldly honors. Being at court, she wore clothes befitting her position as the emperor's daughter, but underneath her finery she wore a hair-shirt. St Anthusa was tonsured by the holy Patriarch Tarasius. She founded the Omonia Monastery at Constantinople, known for its strict rule. She was an example of humility doing hard work, cleaning the church and carrying water. She never sat at the table during meals, but instead served the sisters. She saw to it that no one left the monastery without a special need.

She took food only once a day, and that only bread and water, and in the Great Fast only once every two days. Only at Christmas and Easter did she taste flesh and oil. Although she was abbess of the monastery, she was the servant of all the other sisters and was ashamed that any should wait on her. She was made worthy of the great gift of wonderworking, both during her lifetime and after her death.

• Venerable ISAAC 伊撒克 the Syrian (Isaac of Monteluco), abbot of Spoleto, Italy (550)
This is not the famed Isaac of Syria (commemorated Jan 28) who wrote the Ascetical Homilies, but a monk who settled in Spoleto and was famed for his holy, solitary life, his miracles, and his discernment. The people of Spoleto sought to honor him with money and other gifts, but he refused everything and withdrew to a cell in the forest. Soon a large monastery grew up there as others joined him in his life of prayer. Once, two nearly naked men came begging clothing from Isaac. He told a monk to go to a hollow tree some distance away, and to bring back what he found there. The monk returned with some clothing, and gave it to the beggars. They were shamed to find that it was their own clothing, which they had hidden in the tree. A man gave two beehives to the monastery. A monk hid one of them and brought the other to the abbot. Isaac said to him, "Be careful when you go back to the beehive that you hid: it has been taken over by poisonous snakes. Be careful that they do not bite you."
徐利亚人伊撒克二世的纪念日是在1月28日。对话者格里哥利曾经写过伊撒克二世。在格斯统治时期，他来到了意大利，并进入了斯波雷托的一座教堂中。他请求教堂管事允许他留在教堂中，将自己关在那里。就这样，他在教堂中彻夜进行祷告，并且是在同一个地方。第二天和第三天都是这样。教堂管事称他为伪君子，并用拳头袭击了他。但是那个教堂管事立即就变疯了。看到了他的痛苦折磨，伊撒克倚靠在他身上，这样，恶魔从教堂管事的身上被驱逐，使得他恢复了健康。听到了这个奇迹后，该城的所有居民都蜂拥而至，以惊异的眼光看着这位陌生人。他们给伊撒克钱和物，但是遭到了他的拒绝，伊撒克什么也没有接收，独自隐退到森林中。在那里，他修建了一个小茅屋，后来，这里很快就成了一个大修道院。伊撒克以其施行奇迹而被众所周知，尤其是他具有“悟性恩典”。有一次，他命令兄弟们将锄头送到葡萄园中，并将锄头留在那里。第二天，伊撒克同众兄弟们前往葡萄园，并带去了午饭。这些兄弟们感到非常奇怪：谁将会吃这些午饭，因为那里并没有工人？在抵达葡萄园后，他们看到在那里有很多人在拿着锄头干活。这是怎么回事？原来这些是盗贼，他们来这里准备偷锄头，但是依着上帝的大能，他们全都被留在那里，整晚在拿着锄头干活。还有一次，两个缺少衣服的人来找伊撒克，向他寻求衣服。伊撒克派了一个修士前往路上的一个空心树那里取回在树洞中所找到的东西。这名修士出发了，在树洞中发现了一些衣服，并将衣服带回修道院。修道院院长将这些衣服给了这两名乞丐。这两个乞丐感到非常惭愧，因为他们认出，这就是他们故意藏在树洞中的自己的衣服。另有一次，一个人送给修道院两个蜂房。路上，修士将其中的一个藏了起来，将另一个带到了修道院，将它教给修道院院长。修道院院长对这名修士说：“你回去的路上应该当心，因为有一条毒蛇溜进了你放在路上的蜂房中，因此要当心，不要让毒蛇咬了。”
• JULIUS I (352) Pope of Rome from 337 to 352. He defended St Athanasius against his Arian accusers and also built many churches
Saint Julius was by birth a Roman; he was chosen Pope on the 6th of February in 337, and was remarkable for the sanctity of his life and his zeal in strengthening the Christian faith. The impious heresy of Arius was progressing dangerously everywhere in the East, and many holy bishops were obliged to leave their sees. Saint Julius received them warmly in Rome, Saint Athanasius in particular, and he defended them to the end against their adversaries. He condemned the synods which the Arians had assembled in Tyre and in Antioch, with the intention of abolishing the faith of Nicea. He assembled two councils in Rome, where he heard the exiled bishops and proclaimed their innocence. By his counsel, the Emperor Constans, the pious prince of the West, influenced his brother Constantius to recall Saint Athanasius from exile. Saint Julius rejected a deceptive formula of faith, imagined by the Eusebians, who were partisans of Arius at the second council of Antioch. He assembled the second Council of Sardica, composed of both Western and Oriental bishops. His legates presided there, and he saw to it that useful measures for the maintenance of the Catholic faith and the re-establishment of ecclesiastical discipline were drafted and implemented. He built two basilicas in Rome and adorned them with sacred paintings. He had three cemeteries constructed, on the Flaminian and Aurelian ways, and at Porto. He regulated legal questions concerning the clergy, ordaining that they would plead nowhere but in ecclesiastical courts. Saint Julius reigned for fifteen years, and died on the 12th of April, 352.
