• "KIEV-BRATSKAYA" Icon of the Mother of God (1654) 基辅布拉茨克圣母像纪念日 // SEPT 6 // JUN 2 // SATURDAY OF THE 5TH WEEK OF GREAT LENT //
Σύναξις Ὑπεραγίας Θεοτόκου «τῶν ἀδελφῶν του Κιέβου» ἐν Ρωσίᾳ
The Kievo-Bratsk Icon of the Mother of God was situated at first in the Borisoglebsk church in the city of Vyshgorod (Kiev), where it miraculously appeared in the year 1654. In 1662, during the time of war of Russia with Poland (1659-1667), the city was dealt heavy losses by the Crimean Tatars fighting on the side of the Polish. The temple of the holy Passion-Bearers Boris and Gleb was destroyed and defiled. But the Providence of God preserved the holy wonderworking icon of the Mother of God, which was taken out of the church beforehand in time and set off along the Dniepr, and the relics of the saints they hid beneathe a crypt. The river carried the icon to the Podola river-bank at Kiev, where it was joyfully taken up by the Orthodox and with due reverence transferred to the Bratsk monastery. In the records of church property of the Kievo-Bratsk monastery, made in the year 1807, was given its description. There existed a "Song about the wonderworking Kievo-Bratsk Icon of the Mother of God", compiled soon after the year 1692.Celebration of the Kievo-Bratsk Icon of the Mother of God is made thrice within the year: 6 September, 10 May and 2 June. All these days are dedicated to the miraculous appearance of the holy icon in 1654. The original of the icon has not been preserved. The icon copy was written from it "measure for measure", and is at present located in the Kiev monastery of the Pokrov (Protection) of the Mother of God.

• Slaying of Warrior Martyr EUGENE Rodionov in Chechnya (1977-1996) a soldier of the First Chechen War executed by Muslim soldiers in Chechnya for refusing to take off his cross
“Nineteen-year-old Evgeny Rodionov went through unthinkable suffering,” reads an encomium on one Russian Web site, “but he did not renounce the Orthodox faith but confirmed it with his martyr's death. He proved that now, after so many decades of raging atheism, after so many years of unrestrained nihilism, Russia is capable, as in earlier times, of giving birth to a martyr for Christ, which means it is unconquerable.” Evgeny died on May 10/23. May those who read this article have pannikidas served for him on that day. And may we, dear brothers and sisters, learn from Evgeny’s constancy, dignity and bravery to face and overcome our own daily temptations to betray Christ. May we bear our cross daily and NEVER, EVER be ashamed to wear our baptismal cross and be ready at all times to defend our holy Orthodox Christian Faith by living a holy life in accordance with the commands of Christ.
A pupil of Alcuin at Aix-la-Chapelle, Germany, he was bishop of Trier, Germany from 811 to 813, and later ambassador to Constantinople. He lived at a time when the liturgy was changing, when fusion of the Roman and Gallican uses was taking place, and he exercised a remarkable influence in introducing the present composite liturgy which has supplanted the ancient Roman Rite. The chief merit of his works is that they have preserved much accurate and valuable information on the state of the liturgy at the beginning of the 9th century and are therefore useful sources for the history of Latin rites.

• SIMEON 西蒙 the Bishop of Vladimir and Suzdal of the Kiev Near Caves (1226) an author of the Lives of the Kievo-Pechersk monastic fathers
Sainted Simon, Bishop of Vladimir and Suzdal’, was an author of the Lives of the Kievo-Pechersk monastic fathers, and he became a monk at the Pechersk monastery, sometime in the second half of the 12thI Century. In the year 1206 he was appointed hegumen of the Vladimir Nativity of the Mother of God monastery, and in 1214, at the wish of prince Georgii Vsevolodovich (+ 1238), he was made the first bishop of Vladimir-on-the-Klyazma and Suzdal’. In 1218 a church was consecrated by him at the Nativity monastery, and in the year 1225 – a cathedral church at Suzdal’. The greatprince deeply respected Saint Simon and was prepared to open up a new bishop's cathedra-chair at Suzdal' for his friend, – the monk Polykarp of the Kievo-Pechersk monastery, who sought after spiritual vain-glory. But Sainted Simon, seeing into the spiritual condition of Polykarp, talked the greatprince out of his intent, and to Polykarp himself he wrote a deeply moving missive, in which he proffered his friend guidance against his defects of soul. The epistle of Simon was placed at the beginning of the Kievo-Pechersk Paterikon and presented the author under his name as a man of learning. On the eve of his repose in the year 1226, the saint took on the schema. Initially his body was buried at Vladimir, but later on, in accord with the last wishes of the saint himself, his body was transferred after several years to the Kievo-Pechersk Lavra, where it rests in the Antoniev Caves.
• Apostle SIMON 西蒙 the Zealot (65) of the Twelve Great Apostles; born in Cana of Galilee; some accounts say that he was the bridegroom at the wedding at Cana, where the Lord Jesus performed his first sign (John ch. 2). After receiving the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, he preached the Gospel in Africa; he was privileged to die by crucifixion, like his Lord
Ὁ Ἅγιος Σίμων ὁ Ἀπόστολος ὁ Ζηλωτής
Saint Simon was one of the Twelve Apostles. He was called Simon the Cananean by Saint Matthew. Saint Luke calls him Simon the Zealot, a Greek term which correctly translates the meaning of the Aramaic word Cananean. He merited this name by his inflamed zeal for Almighty God. If the tradition is to be believed, he preached the Gospel in Persia and Egypt.
西门是耶稣的十二门徒之一，他出生于加利利的迦拿。主耶稣和母亲以及众门徒都参加了西门的婚礼宴席。当时，酒用尽了，主将水变成了酒（约安福音／约／若2：1－11）。看到这个奇迹之后，新郎西门离开了家、离开了父母和新娘，跟随了主耶稣。奋锐党的意思就是热心。西门被称为奋锐党是因为他对救世主及其福音所表现出的巨大热情。在收到圣灵之后，西门来到了非洲的毛里塔尼亚传讲福音。因为他成功地使许多人皈依基督，由此西门受到了残酷的迫害，最后同主基督一样被钉死在十字架上，主耶稣为西门在永生的国度中准备了荣耀的冠冕。
