• Synaxis of "THE HELPER OF THE SINNERS" Icon of the Mother of God
The prayer for the “The Helper of Sinners” Icon comes from the Theotokos addressing us with the words, “I am the Helper of sinners before My Son, Who hast agreed to always heed Me when I pray for them.”
• "SHUYA" Icon of the Mother of God
Οἱ Ἅγιοι Ἀνδρόνικος καὶ Ἰουνία οἱ Ἀπόστολοι
These saints are referenced by Saint Paul in Romans 16:7: "Salute Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and fellow- prisoners, who are of not among the Apostles, who also were in Christ before me".
安多尼古是70使徒之一。他是圣帕弗罗的亲属，正如帕弗罗自己所说的那样：“又问我亲属与我一同坐监的安多尼古和犹尼亚安，他们在使徒中是有名望的，也是比我先在基督里”（罗马书16：7）。帕弗罗还提到了安多尼古的助手犹尼亚。安多尼古被委任为潘诺尼亚的主教，但是他并没有只停留在一个地方，而是走遍了整个潘诺尼亚传讲福音。同犹尼亚一起，安多尼古成功地皈依了很多人相信基督，并捣毁了许多偶像寺庙。他们二人都拥有施行奇迹的恩典，从人身上驱除魔鬼，并医治了各种疑难病症。他们二人为基督遭受了折磨，收到了双重冠冕，即：使徒冠冕和殉道冠冕。他们二人的圣髑在艾弗格尼地区被发现。

Οἱ Ἅγιοι Παμφαμήρ, Παμφυλῶν καὶ Σολόχων οἱ Μάρτυρες
所罗肯出生于埃及，在马克西米安在位期间成为罗马指挥官坎帕努斯手下的士兵。皇帝下令，要军队中的所有人必须向偶像献祭，当时，所罗肯表白了自己是基督徒。军队中的另外两名战友潘发米尔和潘菲龙也表白了自己的基督信仰。指挥官下令对他们三人进行鞭打，并施加酷刑，潘发米尔和潘菲龙被折磨致死。所罗肯仍没有被致死，因此被处以新的刑罚。指挥官命令士兵用一把剑锹开所罗肯的嘴，将献于偶像的祭品灌入到他的嘴中。所罗肯将剑咬断，使献于偶像的祭品没有进入到他的腹中。最后，他们用豪猪的刺穿透所罗肯的双耳，欲想让他死亡。基督徒带走了他的身体，将他带到了一个寡妇的家中，在精心照料之下，所罗肯逐渐地恢复了健康，一点一点强壮起来，并继续鼓励信众们在他们为信仰遭受磨难时坚守信仰。公元298年，所罗肯向上帝献上感恩，结束了他在世的生命，进入了上帝永生的天国。

• The New Martyrs of Batak of Bulgarian (1876)
From the ecclesiastical Glorification of the New Martyrs of Bulgaria, by the prayerful remembrance of their sufferings and their enormous patience and humility, our souls shall always be warmed by an ineffably deep feeling: that we belong to a martyred people, who have infused into the Holy Orthodox Church, not only the life-giving streams of Slavic letters, but also rivers of the sanctifying blood of a huge host of Christian Martyrs, in whose midst — like a brilliant constellation — shine our dear New Martyrs from Batak. Through their holy prayers, Christ God, have mercy on us and save us!

• Righteous JONAH 约纳 Atamanskij, Archpriest of Odessa, Wonderworker (1924) Ὁ Ὅσιος Ἰωνᾶς τῆς Ὀδησσοῦ
Fr Jonah, a married priest, did his all-night akathist vigils daily from midnight to daybreak. His prayers cured the blind and cast out demons from the possessed. When Moscow doctors told an Odessa mother they could do nothing for her son who was born blind, St Jonah prayed over his bed all night for nine days and on the morning of the tenth day, the boy could see with 20/20 vision. St Jonah was taken to court by the Bolsheviks but the chief opthilmologist of Moscow came to his defence. A great man of prayer, he is also highly venerated in Romania and elsewhere.

Ὁ Ὅσιος Ματρῶνος
Many churches are dedicated to him, the most noted being at St Madern's Well in Cornwall, the reputed site of his hermitage and still a place of pilgrimage. Died near Land's End, Cornwall, c. 545. Saint Madron, a hermit in Brittany of Cornish descent, is the patron of many churches, including the site of his hermitage at Saint Madern's Well in Cornwall and two parishes in Saint-Malo. Many miracles are ascribed to Saint Madron, but still little is known about the saint except for the dedications in Cornwall and Brittany. He has been identified as Saint Medran (f.d. July 7), the disciple of Saint Kieran (f.d. March 5), the Welsh Saint Padarn (f.d. April 16), or a local man who accompanied Saint Tudwal (f.d. December 1) to Brittany.

The school and foundation flourished even after his death, acquiring fame as a community of scholars known as Malmesbury.

Leland writes that Maw had been a teacher and later a bishop in Britain.
• Virgin MELANGELL 麦兰格尔 hermitess of Wales (6th c.)
The glory of mid-Wales is without doubt the remote church of Pennant Melangell in a valley in the Berwyn mountains in Denbighshire. Here is the shrine of St Melangell (Monacella) another royal virgin fleeing a suitor. Her ‘cell y bedd’ (the cell of the grave) can still be seen in the apse; before it now stands the truly awesome restored shrine, pieced together from the fragments reused after the Reformation for walls. Bones found under the floor of the ‘cell y bedd’ are now in the casket within the shrine. An effigy of the saints lies to one side. In the churchyard are 2 400 old yews. Words cannot describe this place. It is another of the secrets of the Living Tradition in Wales.

• Martyr PETER the Aleut (1800-1815) The First American Born Martyr baptized into the Orthodox faith by the monks of St Herman's missionaries operating in the north
On another occasion he was relating how the Spanish in California had imprisoned fourteen Aleuts, and how the Jesuits (actually Franciscans) were forcing all of them to accept the Catholic Faith. But the Aleuts would not agree under any circumstances, saying, ‘We are Christians.’ The Jesuits argued, ‘That’s not true, you are heretics and schismatics. If you do not agree to accept our faith then we will torture all of you to death.’ Then the Aleuts were placed in prisons two to a cell. That evening, the Jesuits came to the prison with lanterns and lighted candles. Again they tried to persuade two Aleuts in the cell to accept the Catholic Faith. ‘We are Christians,’ the Aleuts replied, ‘and we will not change our Faith.’ Then the Jesuits began to torture them, at first the one while his companion was a witness. They cut off one of the joints of his feet, and then the other joint. Then they cut the first joint on the fingers of his hands, and then the other joint. Then they cut off his feet, and his hands. The blood flowed, but the martyr endured all and firmly repeated one thing: ‘I am a Christian.’ He died in such suffering, due to a loss of blood. The Jesuit also promised to torture his comrade to death the next day. But that night an order was received from Monterey stating that the imprisoned Aleuts were to be released immediately, and sent there under escort. Therefore, in the morning all were sent to Monterey with the exception of the dead Aleut. This was related to me by a witness, the same Aleut who had escaped torture, and who was the friend of the martyred Aleut. I reported this incident to the authorities in Saint Petersburg. When I finished my story, Father Herman asked, ‘What was the name of the martyred Aleut?’ I answered, ‘Peter. I do not remember his family name.’ The Elder stood reverently before an icon, made the Sign of the Cross and said, ‘Holy New Martyr Peter, pray to God for us!
