• The Icon of Theotokos of TIKHVIN of the icons painted by St Luke the Evangelist
• Panagia PALEOKASTRITSA
Σύναξις Ὑπεραγίας Θεοτόκου τῆς Παλαιοκαστρίτισσας στὴν Κέρκυρα
The Monastery of Virgin Mary of Paleokastritsa is located in the Greek island of Corfu, 25 kilometers outside of the City of Corfu. This majestic monastery is home to 8 Greek Orthodox Monks who receive guidance from Bishop Efthimios Thouis. They conduct traditional masses, provide generous hospitality, and offer regular tours of the grounds and museum located within. Regardless of faith, a visiting tourist will find magical qualities throughout the grounds and breathtaking scenery revealed at every turn. All who share in the experience of the monastery seem to depart in hesitance and with hope for timely return. The name of the Monastery Paleokastritsa is derived from a local phrase “Paleokastritissa”. This phrase was applied to the temple of Virgin Mary in the 15th century when a historic document, written on the 7th of August 1497, was recovered that referenced the temple as a “Paleokastro”. The word translates into “old castle” indicating the existence of a previous fortress constructed on the grounds pre-dating the present structures. The ruins of the castle no longer exist. In their place stands what is now the present structures that comprise the Monastery of Virgin Mary of Paleokastritsa.

• Hieromartyr ARTEMON 阿尔特蒙 presbyter of Laodicea in Syria (303)
在戴克里先皇帝在位期间，阿尔特盟是老底家的司祭。在审判官面前，他对自己说：“我叫阿尔特盟，是基督－我的上帝的仆人。16年的时间里，我一直在教堂中读经。我作为辅祭并阅读圣福音书28年的时间。在基督的帮助下，我履行了33年的司祭职，教导人们，并带领他们走上拯救之路。”法官将他带到阿斯库拉皮乌斯庙中，在那里占卜者供养着一些爬虫，将其献给“神”。大家都认为这些爬虫会咬阿尔特盟。阿尔特盟划了十字，在十字的力量之下，这些爬虫如同被钉子钉住一般，不能动弹。之后，他将这些爬虫带到院子中，并向他们吹了一口气，这些爬虫立即就死了。所有的占卜者都非常恐惧。看到了这个奇迹后，这个庙的主占卜者维塔里斯跪倒在阿尔特盟前，喊道：“基督徒的上帝是真神！”之后阿尔特盟为维塔里斯以及他的几个朋友进行了浸礼。但邪恶的审判官仍然执迷不悟，对年迈的阿尔特盟进行了残酷的折磨。有一次，审判官打算将阿尔特盟仍到一个滚汤的沥青锅里的时候，不料自己从马上掉了下来，掉进了沥青锅中，将自己烧成了灰烬。人们看到了两只鹰，它们猝然攻击了审判官，使他掉进了沥青锅中。圣阿尔特盟在一段时间内得以获得了自由，并在他的两只可爱的鹿的陪伴下周游四方，教导人们。后来，阿尔特盟于公元303年再次遭到逮捕，并被砍头，他的灵魂得以进入了他虔诚地服侍的主耶稣的王国。
At the time of Diocletian's persecutions, he was a very old man, having served as a reader for sixteen years, then a deacon for twenty-eight years, and finally as a priest for thirty years, for a total of seventy-four years. The pagan judge put him in the Temple of Aesculapius, where large snakes were kept and worshiped as gods. Though the judge meant for Artemon to be attacked by the snakes, the holy priest immobilized them with the sign of the Cross, brought them out of the temple and, in front of the pagan priests, breathed on the snakes, which died instantly. The chief priest, Vitalis, fell to his knees and cried 'Great is the Christian God!' Artemon baptised him along with several of his friends. The unrepentant judge then condemned Artemon to be thrown into burning pitch, but the judge himself was thrown off his horse into the pitch and died. After this, Artemon went free for a time and spent his time teaching the Faith to his people ("accompanied always by two tame deer", says St Nikolia Velimirovic!). But he was arrested again and beheaded in the year 303.
• Translation of St CHAD of Lichfield (672) a missionary, bishop, healer, and wonderworker who spread the Orthodox Faith throughout the British Isles // TR REL THURSDAY AFTER THE 4TH SUNDAY AFTER PASCHA // MAR 2/15 //
Chad, Bishop of Lichfield, is perhaps best known for Not being Archbishop of York. He was elected and duly installed, but various persons raised objections, and rather than cause division in the Church he withdrew. The objection was that some of the bishops who had consecrated him ― although not Chad himself ― were holdouts who, even after the Synod of Whitby had supposedly settled the question in 663, insisted on preserving Celtic customs on the date of celebrating Easter and similar questions, instead of conforming to the customs of the remainder of Western Christendom. He was soon after made Bishop of Lichfield in Mercia. He served there for only two and a half years before his death, but he made a deep impression. In the following decades, many chapels, and many wells, were constructed in Mercia and named for him. It was an old custom to dig a well where one was needed, and to mark it with one's own name or another's, that thirsty travellers and others might drink and remember the name with gratitude.
The Venerable Bede says that in his day the tomb of St Chad was in the form of a small wooden house, with an aperture at the side, through which the faithful might put their hands and obtain dust, which, mixed with water, was used as a cure for both sick humans and animals. In 700 Bishop Headda built a church to contain the tomb, and as the stream of pilgrims continued after the Conquest, a Norman church was constructed in the twelfth century. This second church, however, lasted only about a hundred years before it was replaced by the present Gothic Cathedral, which had a larger East End, including a Lady Chapel, to facilitate the flow of pilgrims. Walter de Langton, who became bishop of Lichfield in 1296, had a marble shrine erected behind the High Altar. Some of the saint's bones were kept in a portable shrine, called a feretory, his head was venerated in the Chapel of St Chad's Head and other relics were displayed from the gallery in the South Choir Aisle. Numerous miracles were attributed to St Chad's relics. The earliest is recorded by the Venerable Bede, who recounts that a mentally deranged vagrant took shelter in the church where the saint was buried and left it the next morning restored to sanity. These evidences of his sanctity did not save his shrine from spoliation at the Reformation. At first Bishop Robert Lee persuaded King Henry VIII to allow the tomb to remain undisturbed, but it was not long before the lure of the gold and gems were too much for the king's officers and it was broken up. It is possible that St Chad's relics still lie behind the altar at Lichfield, but a certain prebend Dudley took away four pieces of bone for safe keeping, and these were treasured by recusants until the consecration of the Roman Catholic Cathedral at Birmingham. In 1841 they were enshrined there above the High Altar. The Feast of the Translation of St Chad is observed in the Midlands on the Thursday after the Fourth Sunday after Pascha.
• Hosiosmartyr CHRISTOPHOROS of the Great Lavra of St Sabbas the Sanctified
Ὁ Ἅγιος Χριστόφορος ὁ Ὁσιομάρτυρας
• Martyr CRESCENS 克瑞森 of Myra in Lycia (3rd c.)
克瑞斯肯斯来自里西亚的米拉。他是一位享有名望的市民。他公开地宣告他的基督信仰，并嘲笑那些僵死的偶像。由此，他被异教徒烧死。
里西亚的米拉的贵族－殉道者克瑞斯肯斯被带到法庭受审时，为了说服他敬拜偶像，法官对他进行了长时间的劝说。当没有获得成功时，法官最后对克瑞斯肯斯说：“仅仅用你的身体敬拜偶像，你的精神仍可以敬拜你的上帝！”克瑞斯肯斯回答说：“独立于灵魂之外的身体什么都不能作；灵魂是身体的动力和领导。”由此，克瑞斯肯斯遭到了杀戮。这是给基督徒的一个不可口是心非的明显一课。我们从中所学到的另一课就是：基督徒也必须要用身体来服侍我们的造物主，不仅仅要用精神。由此，可以驳倒一些基督徒的虚伪的想法：这些基督徒在身体上如同异教徒般地生活，而在精神上又赞颂自己他们的灵魂相信上帝、爱上帝。他们将自己分成两个，使自己服侍两个主，甚至耶稣基督也用他最神圣的口说过：这是不可能的。

托梅斯出生于亚历山大里亚的一个享有名望的家庭。从年轻时起，她就受到教导，要虔诚。在15岁那年，她同一个望族的男人结婚了。但是她的公公却是一个卑鄙的人，趁他的儿子不在的时候企图引诱自己的儿媳妇。托梅斯感到非常害怕，并提醒公公不要触犯上帝的律法，并逃出了他的手掌。在经过一段艰难的挣扎之后，公公竟然用刀子将儿媳妇刺死，并将她剁成两块。就在那时，上帝的惩罚临到了他。他立即瞎了，不能发现门在哪里，从哪里逃离。由此，他在房子中被抓获，被送到了法庭受审，并被判处了死刑。这样，托梅斯为了上帝的戒令、保护自己的妇道和圣洁而遭受了磨难。后来，很多面对淫乱的人都向托梅斯祷告，从她那里寻求坚强的帮助。伟大的修行者达尼伊尔将她的圣髑转移到了斯切特修道院，将其同已故的修士司祭埋葬在一起。托梅斯于公元476年遭受磨难。
