• Venerabless Virgin GENEVIÈVE (Genoveva or Genovefa) 日南斐法 of Paris (512) Patroness of the city of Paris, and invoked against disasters, drought and excessive rain, and fever. In the Middle Ages, Saint Genevieve was regarded as the patron saint of wine makers
Ἡ Ὁσία Γενεβιέβη ἐκ Παρισίων
圣女日南斐法
圣革奈维艾弗
革奈维艾弗是巴黎的主保。她通过守斋、祷告和施舍而蒙主悦纳。革奈维艾弗于公元512年1月3日去世，享年89岁。
Born in Nanterre near Paris in France, aged seven she became known to St Germanus of Auxerre. Aged fifteen, she became a nun. When Paris was occupied by the pagan Franks and afterwards threatened by Attila and the Huns, St Geneviève encouraged the people to defend the city. Her relics were many times carried in huge processions in times of war, pestilence or other national trial. These relics were mostly burned and thrown into the River Seine by the godless Revolutionaries in 1793, but, as the Synaxarion concludes, "those who continue to invoke Saint Genevieve with faith, find her to be well and truly alive." She has always been considered the special protectress and patroness of Paris, which she protected again in 1914.
圣女熱納維耶芙（约422年—约502年，或译圣女日南斐法、圣吉纳维夫、圣日内维耶），是法国巴黎的主保圣人，她约于422年生于法国的巴黎西郊的南戴尔，约502年卒于巴黎。圣女熱納維耶芙还是个小女孩时就已经决定终身过贞节的生活，而且把时间都用到祈祷和沉思上。在其父母过世后，圣女熱納維耶芙来到巴黎，照顾贫穷及生病的人们。传说她从15岁开始一直到50岁每周只进食和喝水两次。传说她阻止了匈奴国王阿提拉对巴黎的入侵。在阿提拉逼近巴黎时，圣女熱納維耶芙动员巴黎的女人们都来祈祷；男人们都来保卫城市。男人们不相信她，想用石头砸死她；而女人们则真的和她一起进行祈祷，结果阿提拉果真撤了兵。传说她还对当时的法兰西国王克洛维一世（约466-511）皈依基督教做出了贡献。这位国王是欧洲的第一位接受基督教洗礼的国王，从而使法兰克帝国得以基督教化，这对整个欧洲历史都有着非凡的意义。圣女熱納維耶芙在逝世后被安葬在巴黎的使徒教堂（法语：Abbaye Sainte-Geneviève de Paris），这座教堂在12世纪时被重修，并从此改名为圣女熱納維耶芙教堂。由于圣女熱納維耶芙把基督教教理传授给了法兰西国王，形成了和法国皇室的特殊关系，这座教堂又于18世纪，在法兰西国王路易十五的赦令下又一次得以大规模新建。在法国大革命后，教堂被改名为先贤祠，成为安葬并纪念法国著名人物的祠堂。很不幸的是，1793年，圣女熱納維耶芙的遗骸在法国大革命中被公开烧毁了。她的圣骨匣安放在巴黎圣女熱納維耶芙广场上的圣斯德望堂中。圣女熱納維耶芙的纪念日是每年的1月3日，她在艺术作品中的的标志象征是蜡烛、天使和魔鬼、圣杯以及巴黎城的钥匙。
• Priest Martyr GORDIUS 高尔迪 a Centurion of Cappadocia (320)
Ὁ Ἅγιος Γόρδιος
司祭殉道者，高尔迪
高尔迪出生于卡帕多西亚的恺撒里亚。他在罗马皇帝李锡尼统治期间，曾出任军官。当时发生了一场屠杀基督徒的血腥事件，之后，高尔迪放弃了军旅生活及其军职，退隐于西奈的旷野中去了。他独自一人在何烈山日日祷告，思索着天地的奥秘。他特别想到了人类在这世上努力争斗的空虚和无谓。最后，他希望脱离这苦难的人生，进入到那美好的永生。抱着这个信念，高尔迪回到了城里，当时，异教徒正在举行竞技比赛。高尔迪找到城市的市长，并表明了自己是基督徒。市长通过引诱和威胁试图说服他放弃信仰，但是都没能动摇他的信仰。高尔迪坚定不移，如同中流砥柱，坚定地说：“用这短暂的时光换取无尽的苦难和灵魂的死亡，这岂不是愚蠢的吗？”他被判处死刑，但他却步履轻盈地前往刑场。一路上，他同刽子手讲述基督荣耀且甘甜的教诲。就这样，高尔迪口诵基督的名，献上了年轻的生命，他刚正不阿的灵魂归于了上帝，时为公元320年。

In 515, he was appointed abbot of the monastery of Saint Moritz at the site of the massacre of the Theban Legion.

• JOHN of Tsch'qondidi, bishop (11th c.)
• Prophet MALACHI (Malachias) 玛拉希亚 the last of 12 Minor Prophets (400 B.C.)
Ὁ Προφήτης Μαλαχίας
先知玛拉希亚
玛拉希亚是历史上先知中的最后一位。公元前538年，被掠的犹太人从巴比伦人手中获释，归回故土，玛拉希亚就是在这之后出生的。他容貌出众，据说，他被人称为天使，原因可能就是他的外貌俊秀，或是因为他品性纯洁，甚至也有可能是因为他与天使的关系密切。据记载，玛拉希亚曾多次面对面同天使直接进行对话，此时，其他的人只不过听到天使的声音而已，并不配见天使的面容。天使向年轻的玛拉希亚所宣布的一切，他都如实向世人传达了。他痛斥忘恩负义的以色列人以及无法无天的祭司。基督降世500年以前，玛拉希亚就已明确预言施浸者约安将要出现，且明言他的作为：“看哪！我要差事我的使者、在我前面预备道路”（玛拉希亚书／玛／拉3：1）。总的来说，玛拉希亚是可怕的审判日的预言者：“看哪！上主大而可畏之日未到以前，我必差遣先知以利亚到你们那里去。他必使父亲的心转向儿女，儿女的心转向父亲，免得我来诅咒遍地”（玛拉希亚书／玛／拉3：23－24）。玛拉希亚年纪轻轻就魂归于主，直到施浸者约安出现之前，以色列再也没有出现先知。
