• Virgin Martyress DYMPHNA of Gheel, Belgium; patroness of those afflicted with mental and nervous disorders
Daughter of a pagan Irish chieftain named Damon, and a beautiful devoted Christian woman whose name has not come down to us. Her mother died when Dymphna was a teenager. Her father searched the Western world for a woman to replace his wife, but none could. Returning home, he saw that his daughter was as beautiful as her mother, and maddened by grief, he made advances on her. She fought him off, then fled to Belgium with Saint Gerebernus, an elderly priest and family friend. Dymphna's father searched for them, and his search led to Belgium. There an innkeeper refused to accept his money, knowing it was difficult to exchange. This told Damon that his daughter was close - it would be unusual for a village innkeeper to know a lot about foreign currency, and his knowledge indicated that had recently seen it. The king concentrated his search in the area. When he found them in Gheel, he beheaded Gerebernus, and demanded that Dymphna surrender to him. She refused, and he killed her in a rage.

瓦伦斯在位期间支持阿里乌斯异端，极大地迫害东正教。听说东正教遭到迫害之后，来自东方的隐士伊撒克离开了旷野来到君士坦丁堡鼓励信徒保持正确的信仰、谴责异端邪说。就在那时，皇帝瓦伦斯同他的军队北上以抗击从多瑙河向色雷斯挺进的哥特人。伊撒克来到皇帝面前对他说：“哦，皇帝，请皇帝开放拥有正确信仰的信徒们的教堂，这样，上帝将会祝福你。”皇帝对此置之不理，继续他的行程，第二天，伊撒克又来到了皇帝面前，向他提及此事，如果不是阿里乌斯异端阻止皇帝，皇帝早就接受了长老的劝告。第三天，伊撒克拽住皇帝坐骑的缰绳，请求皇帝给予上帝的教会自由，并警告说：如果他不听从劝告，上帝的惩罚将会临到他的身上。愤怒的皇帝下令将伊撒克长老投入到一个满是泥浆和荆棘的深坑中，但是，三个天使出现在长老的面前，将长老从深坑中拉出来。第四天，伊撒克又来到了皇帝面前，并预言说：如果皇帝不给予教会自由，他将会面临可怕的死亡。他对皇帝说：“哦，皇帝，请听我直言：你将带领军队抗击蛮人，但是你却不能抵御他们的攻击。你将会从蛮人那里逃出，但是你将会被他们擒获，并被活活烧死！”事情果然发生了。蛮人攻打希腊军队如同切割草地一般，皇帝以及他的异端谋事逃跑了，躲藏在一个篮子内。蛮人来到了此地，得知皇帝的下落，于是将篮子包围，并开始放火，皇帝及其异端谋事都被活活地烧死。在这之后，德奥多西一世被加冕为皇帝。德奥多西一世听说了有关伊撒克的预言及其兑现，于是召见伊撒克，并当场向伊撒克跪拜。由此，教会重新获得了宁静，阿里乌斯异端遭到了驱逐，而伊撒克却想返回他修行的旷野，但是经过劝说之后留在了君士坦丁堡。一个名叫萨图尼努斯的贵族在伊撒克修行的旷野之地建立了一座修道院，伊撒克就在修道院中潜心修行，直到去世为止，行了不少奇迹。后来，修道院来了很多修士，最终成了一个大的修道院。在伊撒克去世之前，他曾任命他的门徒达尔马图斯为修道院院长，这座修道院后来被称为达尔马图斯修道院。受上帝喜悦的伊撒克长老于公元383年得以进入永生。

Born at Bawburgh, Norfold, England; Died 1016. Son of a prince, Walstan left home at an early age to live as a mendicant pilgrim and itinerant farm worker. Walstan spent his life as a farm laborer at Taverham and Costessey. One of his employers liked him so much that he wanted to make Walstan an heir, but the young man declined, asking only for a pregnant cow. Legend says that the cow had twins, and when Walstan died while working in the fields, the calves carried his body to Bawburgh church, passing through solid walls to leave the body at the altar. He was noted for his charity to all in need. In art, Saint Walstan is depicted as a crowned farm laborer holding a scythe. At time the picture may include the word Opifer by him; scythe and sceptre; scythe, crown, and two calves; or scythe and ermine.
Ἐγκαίνια τοῦ ναοῦ τῆς Ἁγίας Εὐφημίας ἐν Δεξιοκρατιαναῖς
On January 19, 729, at the very beginning of the iconoclastic persecutions, Emperor Leo III the Isaurian ordered the removal of an image of Christ which stood over the Chalkē, the main gate of the Great Palace of Constantinople. While an officer was executing the order, a group of women gathered to prevent the operation, and one of them, a nun named Theodosia, let him fall from the ladder. The man died, and Theodosia was captured and executed. After the end of the Iconoclasm, Theodosia was recognized as a martyr and saint, and her body was kept and venerated in the Church of Saint Euphemia en tō Petriō, in the quarter named Dexiokratiana (today known as Ayakapı), after the houses owned here by one Dexiokrates. The church and adjoining monastery were erected by Emperor Basil I at the end of the ninth century. The monastery hosted his four daughters, who were all buried in the church. Saint Euphemia lay near the Monastery of Christos Euergetēs, whose foundation date is unknown. It is only known that it was restored by protosebastos John Komnenos, son of Andronikos I Komnenos and brother of co-emperor John, who died fighting in the battle of Myriokephalon in 1176. On April 12, 1204, during the Fourth Crusade, the Latin fleet gathered in front of the Monastery of the Euergetes before attacking the city. During the Latin Empire, the navy had its anchorage in front of the monastery, and the naval port was kept there by Michael VIII Palaiologos also after the restoration of the Roman Empire. Many sacred relics kept in the church were looted by the Crusaders and many still exist in churches throughout western Europe. The veneration of Theodosia grew with time until, after the 11th century, the Church of Saint Euphemia was named after her. Since the original feast day of Saint Euphemia occurred on the 30th of May, and that of another Saint Theodosia, Saint Theodosia of Tyros occurred on the 29th of May, finally this day became the feast day of Saint Theodosia of Constantinople as well. This denomination of the church appears for the first time in 1301. After the eleventh century, the Church of Saint Euphemia is no longer mentioned. Saint Theodosia became one of the most venerated saints in Constantinople, being invoked particularly by the infirm. The fame of the Saint was increased by the recovery of a deaf-mute in 1306. The church is often mentioned by the Russian pilgrims who visited the city in the fourteenth and early fifteenth century, but sometimes it is confounded with Christ Euergetēs, which, as already said, stood near it. Twice a week a procession took place in the nearby roads. In that occasion the relics hosted in the church were carried along, followed by a great crowd of sick people praying for their recovery. The church is mentioned for the last time on May 28, 1453. On that day, which was the eve both of the Saint's feast and also of the end of the Roman Empire, the Emperor Constantine XI with the Patriarch went to pray into the church, which was adorned with garlands of roses. Afterward Constantine left for the last struggle. Many people remained all night in the church, praying for the salvation of the city. In the morning the Ottoman troops, after entering the city, reached the building, still adorned with flowers (popular tradition says that this is the reason why the mosque was later named as "Mosque of the Rose"), and captured all the people gathered inside, considering them as prisoners of war. The relics were thrown away and the body of the Saint was cast to the dogs. After the Ottoman conquest, the basement of the edifice, which in the meantime had fallen to ruin, was used as naval dockyard. Close to the building, Seyhülislam Molla Hüsrev Mehmet Effendi (died 1480) established a vakıf (foundation) and erected a small mosque (Küçük Mustafa Paşa Mescidi) and a bath (Küçük Mustafa Paşa Hamamı), which still exists. Some years later (in 1490), the ruined church was repaired and converted into a mosque. A minaret was erected between 1566 and 1574, under Selim II, by Hassam Pasha, a supplier of the Ottoman navy. Afterwards the mosque was often named after him. Between 1573 and 1578, during his sojourn in Istanbul, the German preacher Stephan Gerlach visited the mosque, identifying it with the Church of Saint Theodosia. During that century the mosque saw the predication of the local holy man Gül Baba, which was allegedly buried in the building. It is also possible that the mosque was named after him, since it is known as the Gül Mosque. During the 17th and 18th centuries, the edifice was heavily damaged in its upper parts by earthquakes, until Sultan Murad IV restored it, rebuilding the dome with the pendentives, almost the whole west side, the vaults at the southwest and northwest corners, and the minaret. The building escaped the great fire which ravaged the quarter in 1782, and was restored again by Sultan Mahmud II (1808–1839), who added the wooden Sultan's lodge.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
O God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
愿上帝怜恤我罪人
O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
for the sake of the prayers
of Thy most pure Mother,
our holy and God-bearing fathers and all the saints, have mercy on us.
Amen.
