Ὁ Ἅγιος Συμεὼν ὁ Ἱερομάρτυρας Ἐπίσκοπος Περσίδος καὶ οἱ σὺν αὐτῷ Μαρτυρήσαντες
Ὁ Ἅγιος Φουσὶκ ὁ Μάρτυρας καὶ ἡ θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ
Ὁ Ἅγιος Ἀζὰτ ὁ Εὐνοῦχος
The Holy Symeon was bishop of the royal cities of Seleucia and Ctesiphon in Persia, during a great persecution under King Sapor II. The king had been incited by (Zoroastrian) Magi jealous of the growth of the Faith in their territory, and by some Jews living in Persia. The king was already displeased with the holy bishop: his eunuch, Ustazan, a secret Christian, had denied Christ, but when reprimanded by Symeon, had confessed the Faith before the King, for which he was executed. On Holy Friday of 343 Symeon, along with at least a hundred other servants of the Church, was sent out to be slain. Symeon exhorted each to be of good courage, and was himself slain last. One year later, again on Holy Friday, the King's eunuch Azat was executed for Christ, along with a great number of the faithful. It is said that more than 1 000 Christians died as martyrs during this persecution.
在邪恶的波斯王萨波尔在位期间，西麦翁同他的两个长老奥乌德尔和阿纳尼亚斯为基督的缘故同遭折磨。皇帝的太监乌斯塔赞早先否认了基督，但后来在圣西麦翁的训斥下受到了感动，在皇帝面前再次表白了自己的正确信仰。另外其他一千多名基督徒也同西麦翁一起被带到刑场。西麦翁希望自己最后一个被斩首，这样能够鼓励其他基督徒坚持到底，由此他一直溜在队伍的最后面，因此，没有一个基督徒因为害怕死亡而动摇。当长老阿纳尼亚斯将他的头放在断头台上时，他的全身不禁颤抖起来。秘密地隐藏了基督徒身份的皇帝朝中的文官福斯克开始鼓励阿纳尼亚斯说：“长老，不要害怕，闭上你的眼睛，勇敢一些，你将会看到神圣的光。”在福斯克说这些话时，他被认出了是一个基督徒，于是被带到皇帝前遭到指控。在经过长时间的折磨之后，福斯克同他的女儿阿斯凯特利亚一同被处死。之后，圣西麦翁看到他的信众一一前往了天国，于是最后一个被斩首。第二年的大星期五，皇帝的爱臣阿扎特（乌斯塔赞）同其他一千多名信徒为基督而殉道。之后皇帝为屠杀自己的太监而感到懊悔，于是停止了对基督徒的杀戮。这些基督徒于公元341年和公元344年为基督而荣耀殉道。

• Uncovering (1641) of the relics of Venerable Abbot ALEXANDER 亚历山大 of Svir (1533) // APR 17 // AUG 30 //
Μετακομιδὴ Τιμίων Λειψάνων Ὁσίου Ἀλεξάνδρου τοῦ ἐκ Ρωσίας
Saint Alexander of Svir died on August 30, 1533. His incorrupt relics were uncovered in 1641 during the reconstruction of the Transfiguration cathedral. The incorrupt relics of the saint were removed from the Svir Monastery by the Bolsheviks on December 20, 1918 after several unsuccessful attempts to confiscate them. There was an infamous campaign to liquidate the relics of the saints which continued from 1919 to 1922. Many relics of Russsian saints were stolen and subjected to “scientific examination” or displayed in antireligious museums. Some were completely destroyed. Hoping to prove that the relics were fakes, the Soviets conducted many tests. However, the tests only confirmed that the relics were genuine. Finally, the holy relics were sent to Petrograd’s Military Medical Academy. There they remained for nearly eighty years. A second uncovering of Saint Alexander’s relics took place in December 1997. The relics were found to be incorrupt, just as they were when they were confiscated. The saint’s appearance matched the description in the records from 1641. Once it was determined that these were in fact the relics of Saint Alexander, Metropolitan Vladimir of Saint Petersburg permitted them to be taken to the church of Saint Sophia and her three daughters Faith, Hope, and Love (September 17) for four months before their return to the Svir Monastery. As people venerated Saint Alexander’s relics they noticed a fragrant myrrh flowing from them. The holy relics were taken to the Saint Alexander of Svir Monastery in November 1998, and miraculous healings continue to take place before them.
