• Monks ILARION, EMILIAN and DEMETRIUS
• MM PAUL & 36 Christian Soldiers
A band of 36 other Christian noblemen decided to evangelize Egypt. They divided themselves in four groups headed by Paul, Recombus, Theonas, and Papias to go to each corner of the country. They labored zealously to extend the kingdom of Christ ― planting the faith, instructing the docile, and purifying the souls of penitents who confessed their sins. But, as is generally the case in this world, most people preferred the darkness rather than light. The evangelists suffered many types of injuries before they were apprehended and put in irons. The governor had them brought before him and attempted to compel them to sacrifice. Answering in the name of his fellows, Paul said that it was better for them to die than to sacrifice. The judge condemned them all to death: those who went to the east and south, to be burned; those from the north, to be beheaded; and those from the west to be crucified. But he was affrighted and surprised beyond expression to see with what joy and courage this brave army marched out, and bowed their heads to death. They suffered on January 18, but the year is not mentioned in their acts.

Ὁ Ἅγιος Ἀθανάσιος ὁ Μέγας
大圣阿塔纳西，亚历山大里亚牧首
圣阿塔纳西于公元296年出生于亚历山大里亚，他自幼就向往灵性生活。阿塔纳西曾是牧首圣亚历山大的辅祭，并陪同他参加了第一次神圣普世大公会议（公元325年，尼西亚）。因阿塔纳西的学识，以及对正教的投入和热忱而使他在这次大公会议上开始扬名。他沉重地打击了阿里乌的异端邪说，坚定了正教。阿塔纳西起草了《信经》的文字，并在大公会议上被通过。圣亚历山大去世后，阿塔纳西被选举为亚历山大里亚的牧首。他治理亚历山大里亚牧首区长达40年，但并非一直安然稳居教座，因他一生中总是遭受异端者的迫害。皇帝中，他主要曾经遭受过康斯坦蒂努斯皇帝、背教者犹利安皇帝和瓦伦斯皇帝的迫害，主教中，他遭受尼科美底亚主教艾弗塞维和很多其他主教的迫害，异端中，他遭受了异端者阿里乌及其追随者的迫害。阿塔纳西为了躲避迫害者，不得不多次逃亡，甚至隐藏在枯井、古墓、私宅或是沙漠中。还有两次他被迫逃到罗马。只有在他去世前不久的一段时间内，他才得以作为一名牧者在真正爱他的信众中平安地生活。在诸圣教父中，象阿塔纳西遭到这样无情的诽谤、并被如此罪恶地对待的圣人为数不多。为了基督的爱，阿塔纳西忍受了一切，最后终于得以在这可怕的、持久的斗争中获得胜利。阿塔纳西经常拜访圣安托尼，从他那里得到教诲、安慰和道义上的支持。阿塔纳西非常尊敬圣安托尼，将他尊为自己的灵性之父。圣阿塔纳西阐明了伟大的真理，为这真理受尽了千辛万苦，他于公元373年离世安息，作为主的忠仆进入基督永恒的国度。

Ὁ Ἅγιος Κύριλλος Πατριάρχης Ἀλεξανδρείας
St Cyril was the nephew of Patriarch Theophilus of Alexandria, who educated him from his youth. He succeeded to his uncle’s position in 412, but was deposed through the intrigues of the Nestorian heretics. He later resumed his See, however. St Cyril presided at the Third Ecumenical Council in 431, which censured the Nestorian blasphemy against the Most Holy Theotokos. His wise words demonstrated the error of their false doctrine. Today we commemorate the flight of Saint Cyril from Alexandria to Ephesus, because it brought much good to the Church of Christ, since the Third Ecumenical Synod took place there and the blasphemous heresies of Nestorius were condemned while Orthodoxy was upheld.

• EPHRAIM 艾弗冷 the Younger (the Philospher) of Georgia (1101) the great writer, translator, philosopher, and defender of the Church
Ὁ Ὅσιος Ἐφραίμιος
His achievements in Georgian theological and philosophical writing are immeasurable. The number of his works is almost one hundred, and the subjects cover nearly every branch of theological inquiry. Ephraim even developed his own theory of translation, which later formed the foundation for written composition in the Georgian language. His theory consists of three essential points:
1. A composition must be translated from the original, that is, from the language in which it was first written.
2. The translation must carry the same literal meaning as the original, but accuracy in this regard must not violate the nature of the language into which the text is being translated.
3. A section of commentary that examines all relevant historical, grammatical, and literary issues should be included with the translated text.
Ephraim translated five of the works of Saint Dionysius the Areopagite, The Ascetic Rules of Saint Basil the Great, the writings of Saint Ephraim the Syrian, commentaries on the Epistles and Psalms, and many other important patristic writings. Among Ephraim the Lesser’s original works, his most significant is An Explanation of the Reasons for the Conversion of Georgia, a compilation of existing essays and his own commentaries on the nation’s conversion.
