Ἡ Ἁγία Δομιτίλλα ἡ Μάρτυς
Οἱ Ἅγιοι Ἀχιλλέας καὶ Νερέος οἱ Μάρτυρες
Flavia Domitilla was the wife of Titus Flavius Clemens, a Roman consul, and daughter of Emperor Domitian's sister. She was converted to Christianity and was banished to the island of Pandatania (Pandateria) in the Tyrrhenian Sea for her faith after her husband was martyred in 96 AD. A niece by marriage, also called Domitilla, was banished to the island of Ponza for her faith and may have been burned to death when she refused to sacrifice to the gods. In art, Flavia Domitilla is portrayed as a noblewoman holding a palm, crowned by angels, with SS Achilleus and Nereus. They were eunuchs or chamberlains belonging to St Flavia Domitilla, zealous Christians, and with her were banished by Domitian into a little isle on the coast of Terracina, called Pontia. Their acts say, that they were afterwards beheaded at Terracina, under Trajan. Their festival was kept at Rome with great solemnity in the sixth age, when St Gregory the Great spoke on it his twenty-eighth homily, in which he says: “These saints before whose tomb we are assembled, despised the world and trampled it under their feet, when peace, plenty, riches, and health gave it charms.” Their old church in Rome lay in ruins, when Baronius, to whom it gave the title of cardinal, rebuilt it with splendour, and restored to it their relics, which had been removed to the chapel of St Adrian.

Flavia Domitilla was a great-niece of the Emperors Domitian and daughter of his sister Domitilla given in marriage to his cousin-german St Flavius Clemens, son to a brother of Vespasia; and Titus.

• Martyress EVDOKIA Martishkina (1880-1938)
The word, Ailitir, or Elithir, signifies "a pilgrim" and, hence, it may not necessarily be a proper name. At the year 595, however, the Annals of the Four Masters state, that Ailithir, Abbot of Cluain-mic-nois, died. He was the fourth Abbot, having succeeded Mac Nissi, who departed this life, on June the 12th, A.D. 585. The Ailithir, there mentioned, has been identified with the present saint. The Annals of Ulster record his death, at A.D. 598; while, those of Tighernach and the "Chronicum Scotorum" place it, at A.D. 599. The latter authority states, that his family was of the Muscraidhe. This day, the Martyrology of Donegal records a veneration paid to Elitir, of Muic-inis, in Loch Derg-derc.

Arrested by order of prefect Asterius in the late 3rd-century persecutions of emperor Maximian, ordered to sacrifice to pagan gods, and then tortured and killed with another Christian, named Barontius, when he refused to do so
Some sources list him as one of 70 Disciples, and say that he was sent by Saint Peter the Apostle to evangelize in Italy in 58, but it’s hard to reconcile that with his death 250 years later.

埃皮凡纽斯生为犹太人，在亲眼目睹了基督信仰之后同他的妹妹卡里特罗普一起接受了浸礼。26岁时，埃皮凡纽斯在圣希兰达尔修道院接受了剪发仪式成为一名修士。后来，埃皮凡纽斯建立了独自的修道院，并因其修行、灵性智慧以及创造奇迹而使其名声在整个巴勒斯坦传开。埃皮凡纽斯逃离了人们的赞誉，隐退到了埃及。在路上，埃皮凡纽斯遇到了伟大的帕弗努提，帕弗努提预言他将会成为塞浦路斯的主教。果然，出于上帝的恩典，多年之后，埃皮凡纽斯来到了塞浦路斯，出乎意料地被选为塞浦路斯的主教。60岁之际，埃皮凡纽斯成为萨拉米斯的主教，管理上帝的教会长达55年之久。埃皮凡纽斯于115岁高龄之际去世，得以进入基督永生的国度。在他去世之前，皇帝阿尔卡蒂乌斯和皇后欧多克西亚召集他到君士坦丁堡参加主教会议，根据皇帝和皇后的旨意，这次会议目的就是宣判圣金口约安。抵达君士坦丁堡之后，埃皮凡纽斯径直来到皇宫，皇帝和皇后留住他不放，并试图说服他反对圣金口约安。百姓和圣金口约安本人听说埃皮凡纽斯站在皇帝一边，因此圣金口约安在给他的一封信中写道：“埃皮凡纽斯兄弟，我听说你给皇帝献计，要流放我；要知道，你将不会再见到你的主教的宝座。”埃皮凡纽斯在回信中写道：“哦，遭受凌辱的苦难兄弟，要知道，你将永远不会到达要流放的地方。”这两位圣人的预言很快就应验了。埃皮凡纽斯无论如何也不同意皇帝对圣金口约安进行流放，于是埃皮凡纽斯悄悄地登上了船，前往塞浦路斯，但是在路途中他就去世了。皇帝将圣金口约安流放到亚美尼亚，但是在途中就去世了。圣埃皮凡纽斯于公元403年荣耀归主。在圣埃皮凡纽斯的众多著作中，最重要的就是《药箱》，在这部书中列举了80个异端邪说，并一一进行驳斥。
Saint Epiphanios was born a Jew in Palestine, but he and his sister came to faith in Christ and were baptized together. Epiphanios gave all his possessions to the poor and became a monk. He knew St Hilarion the great (October 31), and traveled among the monks of Egypt to learn their ways and wisdom. The fame of his virtue spread so widely that several attempts were made to make him bishop, first in Egypt, then in Cyprus. Whenever Epiphanios heard of these plans, he fled the area. He was finally made bishop by means of a storm: told to go to Cyprus, he took ship instead for Gaza, but a contrary wind blew his ship directly to Cyprus, where Epiphanios fell into the hands of bishops who had come together to elect a successor to the newly-departed Bishop of Constantia, and the venerable Epiphanios was at last constrained to be consecrated, about the year 367. He guarded his flock faithfully for the remainder of his life, working many miracles, defending the Church against the Arian heresy, and composing several books, of which the best-loved is the Panarion (from the Latin for 'bread-box'), an exposition of the Faith and an examination of eighty heresies. He was sometimes called the 'Five-tongued' because he was fluent in Hebrew, Egyptian, Syriac, Greek and Latin.

赫曼是皇宫重臣之子，皇帝君士坦丁•波格纳图斯杀死了赫曼的父亲，强行为赫曼施行割礼，并将他流放到了一座修道院。作为一名修士，赫曼因其生活和善工如同星星般闪耀。由此，他被选为西吉库斯的首席主教；当阿纳斯塔西二世被加冕为王时，赫曼被选为君士坦丁堡的牧首。作为牧首，他为臭名昭著的科普伦尼摩斯施浸，在浸礼过程中，由于其罪恶多端而使水都变黑了。而后，牧首预言，这个孩子在长大成人封为皇帝时将会使异端邪说进入到神圣的教会中。事情果然是这样的。当科普伦尼摩斯当选为皇帝时，恢复了圣像破坏运动。起初，科普伦尼摩斯的父亲莱翁•伊索里安发动了圣像破坏运动，当牧首赫曼对此提出反对时，愤怒的莱翁大喊到：“我是皇帝，也是司祭！”莱翁罢免了赫曼的牧首职务，并将其流放到修道院，这位圣人在那里生活了10年之久，直到公元740年返回了永恒的天家。
Saint Germanos was the son of a prominent family, in Constantinople. He became Metropolitan of Cyzicus, then was elevated to the throne at Constantinople in 715. It was he who baptized the infant Constantine, who for his whole life was nicknamed "Copronymos" because he defecated in the baptismal font (though he was neither the first nor the last infant to do so). At this incident, Patriarch Germanos is said to have prophesied that the child would one day bring some foul heresy upon the Church, which he did, becoming a notorious iconoclast as emperor. Germanos openly opposed the decree of the Emperor Leo the Isaurian which began the persecution of the holy icons. For this he was deposed and driven into exile in 730. He lived the rest of his life in peace. Saint Germanos is the composer of many of the Church's hymns, notably those for the Feast of the Meeting in the Temple.

• LEO of Methoni
Saint Leo of Methoni was born in Calabria of Italy and it is said that he "possessed only one garment and was barefoot, fasting and keeping vigils." During a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, being overwhelmed by his ascetic lifestyle, he died at sea once Methoni could be seen, which from the fourth century was an obligatory stop for travelers to and from the Holy Land. Then the sailors buried his lifeless body on the beach of Methoni. Years later Saint Leo appeared to Bishop Nicholas of Methoni, an eminent theologian of the 20th century, who proceeded to transfer his sacred relic, which immediately began to be a source of miracles. The honor of the Saint ceased around the year 1600, then more than four hundred years later Metropolitan Chrysostomos III of Messinia (2007-present) reinstated his memory to be celebrated on May 12th.
