Οἱ Ἅγιοι Ἕρμυλος καὶ Στρατόνικος
圣殉道者埃尔弥罗和斯特拉托尼科
在李锡尼皇帝开始迫害基督徒时，圣埃尔弥罗是教会中的一位辅祭。埃尔弥罗被捕，并被带到法庭受审。当埃尔弥罗得知自己将要被带去受刑时，他万分欣喜。皇帝没能吓倒他，埃尔弥罗公开承认自己的基督信仰，皇帝对他进行各样的威胁，但是他却回答说：“有耶和华帮助我。我必不惧怕。人能把我怎麽样呢。”（圣咏117：6／诗篇118：6）。倍受酷刑之后，埃尔弥罗被打入地牢。地牢的看守斯特拉托尼科是一个秘密的基督徒，他对埃尔弥罗的遭遇深感同情。当有人向皇帝通告斯特拉托尼科也是一名基督徒时，皇帝下令将他们二人沉河。刽子手们将他们捆绑在一张网里，投入多瑙河。三天之后，他们的遗体被河水冲到岸边，被基督徒们发现并安葬在距贝尔格莱德约18公里处，这些光荣的殉道者为主殉难并得着了荣耀，时为主后315年。
These holy martyrs suffered for the faith in Singidunum, in Upper Moesia, on the Danube under Emperor Licinius. Saint Hermylos was a deacon. After many tortures, he was comforted by his friend Stratonikos who was grieved by the sight of his sufferings. Both were drowned in the Danube around 307-311.

• HILARY 伊拉里 bishop of Poitiers (369)
Ὁ Ἅγιος Ἱλάριος Ἐπίσκοπος Πικτώνων
"Little children follow and obey their father. They love their mother. They know nothing of covetousness, ill- will, bad temper, arrogance and lying. This state of mind opens the road to heaven. To imitate our Lord's own humility, we must return to the simplicity of God's little one's." ― Saint Hilary of Poitiers
We have been promised, and he who made the promise is trustworthy: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Yes, in our poverty we will pray for our needs. We will study the sayings of your prophets and apostles with unflagging attention, and knock for admittance wherever the gift of understanding is safely kept. But yours it is, Lord, to grant our petitions, to be present when we seek you and to open when we knock. Impart to us, then, the meaning of the words of Scripture and the light to understand it, with reverence for the doctrine and confidence in its truth. Grant that we may express what we believe. Through the prophets and apostles we know about you, the one God the Father, and the one Lord Jesus Christ. May we have the grace, the face of heretics who deny you, to honor you as God, who is not alone, and to proclaim this as truth.
He is the patron of retarded children.

• Venerable JAMES 雅各 Bishop of Nisibis (350) // OCT 31 // JAN 13 //
Ὁ Ὅσιος Ἰάκωβος
圣雅科弗，尼斯比斯的主教
作为一名隐士，雅科弗夏天生活在露天旷野，冬天生活在山洞中。有一次，他前往尼斯比斯城，想看一看基督信仰如何兴旺，基督徒们如何生活。在那里雅科弗被推举为尼斯比斯的主教。他参加了第一次普世大公会议（尼西亚，公元325年），捍卫正教信仰，抵抗阿里乌异端邪说。有一次，信奉异教的波斯人领军攻打尼斯比斯。圣雅科弗带着一支举着十字架和旗帜的巡游队伍来到城墙前。他独自爬上城墙，并在城墙上巡行，一点儿也不畏惧敌人朝他射来的箭。他在城墙上一边行走，一边向上帝祈祷，请求上帝护佑这座城和城中的信徒们：“求上帝将蚊蝇之殃降于波斯人，让他们逃离尼斯比斯的城墙。”雅科弗并不希望波斯人死亡，也不希望他们遭受大灾惨败，只是盼望一个小麻烦能让他们撤兵离开。上帝垂允了他的祈祷，以蚊蝇之殃驱走了异教徒的军队。由此，尼斯比斯城得到了保全。圣雅科弗长寿而荣耀地渡过了他的一生，于公元350年高龄之际平安离世。
• Holy Hierarch KENTIGERN (Cyndeyrn Garthwys, Kentigernus) known as Mungo, of Strathclyde, Bishop of Glasgow, Wonderworker (603) Apostle of north-west England and south-west Scotland
Ὁ Ἅγιος Κεντιγκέρνος Ἐπίσκοπος Γλασκόβης
Holy Hierarch Kentigern, pray to God for us!
May the will of God be wrought in all of us, and let Him do unto us all as seems to Him best, according to His perfect knowledge. ― Saint Kentigern
Although called Kentigern (Celtic: "High Lord"), he is equally known as Mungo (Celtic: "My Dear Friend"), a name said to have been given to him by his teacher Bishop St Serf. The name Mungo also means "darling", or "beloved one". He began preaching in Cathures on the Clyde on the site of the city of Glasgow and was consecrated first Bishop of the Strathclyde Britons. Driven into exile, he preached around Carlisle and then went to Wales, where he stayed with St David at Menevia. Together with his mother St Theneva, St Kentigern is venerated as the Patron-Saint of Glasgow. He is also considered the apostle of northwestern England and southwestern Scotland. Together with Sts Columba of Iona and Ninian of Whithorn he is also considered to be one of the Greatest Saints and Enlighteners of the Scottish Land.
The following verse is used to remember Mungo's four miracles:
Here is the bird that never flew
Here is the tree that never grew
Here is the bell that never rang
Here is the fish that never swam
The verses refer to the following:
The Bird — Mungo restored life to a robin, that had been killed by some of his classmates.
The Tree — Mungo had been left in charge of a fire in Saint Serf's monastery. He fell asleep and the fire went out. Taking a hazel branch, he restarted the fire.
The Bell — the bell is thought to have been brought by Mungo from Rome. It was said to have been used in services and to mourn the deceased. The original bell no longer exists, and a replacement, created in the 1640s, is now on display in Glasgow.
The Fish — refers to the story about Queen Languoreth of Strathclyde who was suspected of infidelity by her husband. King Riderch demanded to see her ring, which he claimed she had given to her lover. In reality the King had thrown it into the River Clyde. Faced with execution she appealed for help to Mungo, who ordered a messenger to catch a fish in the river. On opening the fish, the ring was miraculously found inside, which allowed the Queen to clear her name.
• KESSOG (Makessog) // MAR 10 //
• LEONTIUS bishop of Caesarea, Cappadocia (337)
As bishop of Caesarea, Cappadocia, Saint Leontius was one of the fathers of the Council of Nicaea in 325. He is especially praised by Saint Athanasius and is described by the Greeks as "an angel of peace".
• Venerable MAXIMUS 玛克西默 Kapsokalivitos (the Hut Burner), of Kapsokalyvia Skete Mt Athos (1365) a unique ascetic, a wonder-working intercessor and "an angel in the flesh"
Ὁ Ὅσιος Μάξιμος ὁ Καυσοκαλυβίτης
焚烧茅屋者，可敬的玛克西默
玛克西默生活于公元14世纪，作为一名修士，他在阿托斯圣山以独特的方式修行：他故意示显疯癫之相，不断地更换住所。玛克西默的栖身之处是用树枝搭成的棚屋，他搭了一座又一座棚屋，而后又将其一一焚毁，由此，他被称为卡帕索卡利维托斯，意思就是焚烧棚屋者。玛克西默一直被认为是一个精神错乱的人，直到西奈的圣格里高利到达阿托斯圣山识别出玛克西默是一位独特的修行者、一位显灵迹的祈祷者、一位居世负形之天使。玛克西默于公元1320年离世安息，进入基督的国度。
One day, he was told in a dream to go to the summit of Athos to receive (like Moses) the tablets of the spiritual law. He prayed continuously atop the Holy Mountain for three days, after which the Mother of God appeared to him surrounded by angels. She gave him a miraculous loaf for his sustenance and told him to live in solitude on the wild slopes of Mount Athos. Henceforth he lived apart, barefoot in all weather. He would build himself crude shelters of branches and brush; after living in one for a short time he would burn it and move to a new place. Thus he received the name Kavsokalybites "the Hut Burner" from the other monks, who dismissed him as a madman.

A speaker noted for his eloquence, he was selected bishop of Rheims (in modern France) at age 22 while still a layman, and served his diocese for 74 years. He evangelized throughout Gaul, working with Saint Vaast. Spiritual teacher of Saint Theodoric. Converted Clovis, king of the Franks, baptising him on 24 December 496; this opened the way to the conversion of all the Franks and the establishment of the Church throughout France.

• Bishop SARÁN
• VIVENTIUS (400) an eastern priest who travelled to the West and attached himself to St Hilary of Poitiers. He ended his life as a hermit
Priest. Bishop of Blera, Italy from 457 to 484. Noted for his vocal opposition to the pagan and corrupt local nobility. Some of them bribed Vivenzio's servants to put women's clothing in his chambers in order to accuse him of illicit relations. Vivenzio denied any wrong-doing, then moved to a nearby cave in order to do penance for the sins of his accusers. He lived there for seven years in prayer and fasting, eventually going blind; when he needed to see again in order to implement an instruction he received from God in a dream, his sight was restored.
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.
