• The Sacred Icon of the Annunciation of the Mother of God Panagia Evangelistria of TINOS (1823)
Μνήμη εὑρέσεως τῆς ἐν Τήνῳ Ἱερᾶς εἰκόνος Εὐαγγελιστρίας
Our Lady of Tinos (Greek: Παναγία Ευαγγελίστρια της Τήνου, Panagía Evangelístria tēs Tēnou, lit. "The All-Holy Bringer of Good News", and Μεγαλόχαρη της Τήνου, Megalócharē tēs Tēnou, lit. "She of Great Grace") is the major Marian shrine in Greece. It is located in the town of Tinos on the island of Tinos.
The Tinos Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos continues to be venerated as one of Greece’s holiest treasures. Innumerable miracles of healing and deliverance from danger have not ceased since the time the icon was found.
The ritual year of the miraculous icon on Tinos starts on 30 January with the festival dedicated to the Finding of the Icon. The next festival is dedicated to the Day of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary, for from this the icon gets its name. July 23 is dedicated to the Vision of Saint Pelagia. The most important festival, the Dormition of the Panagia, is celebrated on 15 August.
Οἱ Ἅγιοι Τρεῖς Ἱεράρχες
Βασίλειος ὁ Μέγας, Γρηγόριος ὁ Θεολόγος καὶ Ἰωάννης ὁ Χρυσόστομος
三圣司教：大圣瓦西里、神学家圣格里高利和圣金口约安
这三圣司教各自有自己的纪念日：圣瓦西里，1月1日；神学家圣格里高利，1月25日；圣金口约安，1月27日。公元11世纪皇帝阿列克修斯?科盟努斯在位期间将1月30日定为共同纪念这三位圣人的节日。有一次，人们就这三位圣人谁最伟大发生了一场争论。有人说是圣瓦西里，因为他的圣洁和勇气；有人说是圣格里高利，因为他神学上高深莫测无人能及；有人说是金口约安，因为他清晰且雄辩地解释了信仰。这三种人持有不同的见解，因此被称为瓦西里派、格里高利派和金口约安派。这场辩论由神圣的天意得到解决，这不仅对教会有益，同时也使这三位圣人得到了更大的荣耀。事情是这样的：欧凯塔的主教约安（6月14日）在梦中见到异象：起初这三位圣人分别以极大的荣耀且难以形容的美出现在他的面前，而后，这三位圣人一同出现在他的面前，对他说：“正如你所看到的，我们在上帝中是合一的，我们中间没有对立，在我们之间排名不分先后。”这三位圣人还建议主教约安为他们撰写一个共同的事奉圣礼经文，并确定一个日子，以共同纪念他们。在这个奇妙的异象之后，这场争论的解决方法就是：将每年的1月30日作为共同纪念这三位圣人的节日。希腊人不仅将这一天视为一个宗教节日，同时还将这一天作为最重要的全国性学校假期。
This feast was instituted during the reign of Alexis I Comnenus (1081-1118). A dispute arose in Constantinople among various prominent citizens and clergy, about which of the three Fathers Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian, or St John Chrysostom was the greatest. In typically Byzantine fashion, the people of the City joined into the dispute, which became more animated, dividing the populace into three hostile factions styling themselves Basilians, Gregorians and Joannites. At last, desiring to restore peace to the City and the Church, the three holy hierarchs themselves appeared to the monk John Mauropus; they revealed to him that they stand together in harmony and in equal glory before the heavenly throne, and instructed him to compose a common service for the three of them. He began to pray and had the delight to have an apparition the following night by the three great teachers, who told: "Tell these Christians to cease these useless discussions. Before God, none of us three is greater than the others. We make only one, among us there is neither disagreement nor division. What one believes and has taught, the others believe and have taught. Arise then and warn them to remain in peace and concord. Finally, to practically affirm this unity of our faith choose a day and on it celebrate the Liturgy in our honor to thank God for the graces which He has bestowed to all three of us and by us to the Church, and especially this that in the Orthodox faith and in its teaching, God has always kept us in one accord with the Holy Catholic Church."
It was done thusly. Saint John (Mauropus) obeyed, and chose January 30 as the date of the commemoration, since each of the three hierarchs is commemorated separately in January.
A Triple Sun enlightens this day.

殉道者伊颇利图，罗马的主教
伊颇利图为信仰的缘故而遭难，时值克劳蒂乌斯在位期间。当时童贞女吉里萨为基督的缘故在罗马遭受残忍的酷刑，圣伊颇利图为她向施刑者求情，并强烈地谴责他们。由此，伊颇利图也被带到了法庭认定罪名成立，在经过长时间的折磨后，被判处死刑。他们将伊颇利图的手脚绑住，将其溺死在大海中。同伊颇利图和吉里萨一同遭受磨难的还有20名殉道者。圣伊颇利图于公元269年殉道。
The Holy Hyppolitus was a student of Saint Ireneius, Bishop of Lugdunum (Lyons in France), and he likewise is reknown as a Christian theologian who had written many a composition against the heretics. Saint Hyppolitus compiled a Paschal Canon, a noted composition "About Christ", and a "Discourse concerning the Anti-Christ". Saint Hyppolitus wrote likewise many an exegesis of Holy Scripture, on the Biblical Books: Genesis, Exodus, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, the Song of Songs, and on the Gospels of Matthew, Luke and John, and on the Prophets Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Zechariah, on the Psalms of David and on the Apocalyse. Part of his works are preserved only in fragments. In full are preserved his discourses, devoted to the Theophany and the Prophet Daniel. His discourses evidence his masterful style of ancient churchly preaching.

Wealthy daughter of a Christian Roman consul. On her parent's death, she gave away her riches to the poor and devoted herself to prayer. Tortured and martyred in the persecutions of Alexander Severus for refusing to sacrifice to pagan gods. A basilica is dedicated to her at the Roman forum. In the time after her death there were a series of biographies and descriptions of her martyrdom written, each more extravagant that the last, and none with historical value. Assorted miracles were ascribed to her, and her story was blended with those of other early martyrs, especially Saint Prisca and Saint Tatiana of Rome. One of the writers claimed that when she was beheaded, her body bled milk, a tale that led to her patronage of nursing mothers.
God calls His Saints to Him at every age; little children turn to Him with faith and love, strong men in their mature years, white-haired grandparents and servants of God in their golden age. And we find martyrs ready for every torment, at all epochs of life. What is important is to be ready and to desire the most important day of our life — that of our death.

• Repose of Blessed PELAGIA Ivanovna Serebrennikova, of Diveyevo, Fool for Christ (1884) // JAN 30 // JUL 8 WOMEN SAINTS OF DIVEYEVO //
Πελαγία τοῦ Ντιβίγιεβ
In the world Pelagia Ivanovna Serebrennikova.She was born in Arzamas and already from childhood was nicknamed “fool” for her unusual behaviour. As a young married woman she visited St. Seraphim, who conversed privately with her for a long time. On parting, the Elder bowed to her and said, “Go, Matushka, to Diveyevo and defend my orphans. God win glorify you there.” And he handed her a prayer rope. As she walked away, a young monk standing outside the elder’s cell asked him who she was. “Trust God, Fr. John,” replied the Saint, “this woman whom you see will be a great luminary for the whole world….She is Pelagia Ivanovna, from Arzamas.”
On returning home, Pelagia Ivanovna began acting as though she had gone mad, running around Arzamas and shouting inanities. For several years she endured unspeakable torments from her relatives
In Diveyevo Pelagia Ivanovna continued her tormenting struggle. Some sisters venerated her, others abused her as a mad woman possessed by a clairvoyant demon.
Gradually, Pelagia Ivanovna began to manifest other spiritual gifts, especially the gift of directing souls.
After 20 years of asceticism, Blessed Pelagia, at the command of Seraphim who appeared to her in a dream, shut herself up in a cell, began to avoid people, became silent, sat and slept always on the floor near the entrance door, and spent her nights in prayer. She fed mainly on black bread from which she rolled little balls which served her instead of beads for the Jesus prayer. She never washed her body or cut her nails.
Pelagia Ivanovna once slapped a bishop who insisted that she should take a gift. The painter, M. P. Petrov, was a living example of that grace-filled action through which she directed people’s hearts to the way of salvation. “She pulled me from the depths of hell,” he said later. She saw the whole life of any person and prophesied with clairvoyance. She appeared in dreams and performed healings. She quenched a fire at a distance. The sisters of the community, and Mother Abbess herself, took counsel with the clairvoyant blessed one. The fame of her clairvoyance spread everywhere and the blessed one was visited by many people from all ends of Russia.
Before her repose on January 30, 1884 (O.S.), she was granted to receive the Holy Mysteries from angels, as witnessed by Mother Anna. After her repose she was seen in a vision, kneeling before the Most Holy Mother of God together with St. Seraphim. Blessed Parasceva Semyonovna called her “a second Seraphim,” and she became known as “Seraphim’s Seraphim.”
Before her death she promised that those who remember her she would remember and pray for.

As a young married woman she visited St. Seraphim, who conversed privately with her for a long time. On parting, the Elder bowed to her and said, “Go, Matushka, to Diveyevo and defend my orphans.

John,” replied the Saint, “this woman whom you see will be a great luminary for the whole world….She is Pelagia Ivanovna, from Arzamas.”
No one understood her. She was considered to be an ordinary crazy woman and quite unbearable. Gradually, Pelagia Ivanovna began to manifest other spiritual gifts, especially the gift of directing souls. All the sisters came under her spiritual guidance, and she had quite a number of spiritual children among the laity as well.As for the abbess, she did nothing without consulting the blessed one…
During this time there lived in Diveyevo yet another fool-for-Christ, Natalia Dmitrievna – “Natashenka”. Little is known of her background, other than that she came from a peasant family of the Orenburg province. At first, she too sorely tried the nuns’ patience—she would stand by the choir, her head uncovered, and make faces–and she would have been evicted had not Blessed Pelagia appeared in a vision to one of the senior nuns with a paper on which was written in large letters: “Do not touch Natalia; she is assigned to live here!”
Not long before Pelagia Ivanovna died, she saw from her window a woman coming towards her from the convent gates. She shouted at her, shaking her finger threateningly. The woman stopped. “Is it still too early, mother?” she asked. “Early,” answered the blessed one. The woman bowed low and left as she had come. She would return periodically for extended visits and, after Pelagia Ivanovna died, she remained there to live. Who was she? Her name in holy baptism was Nadezhda, but everyone knew her as Pasha of Sarov, or Parasceva Ivanovna.

After her repose she was seen in a vision, kneeling before the Most Holy Mother of God together with St. Seraphim. Blessed Parasceva Semyonovna called her “a second Seraphim,” and she became known as “Seraphim’s Seraphim.”
Before her death she promised that those who remembered her she would remember and pray for, Blessed Pelagia reposed on January 30, 1884 (O.S.).
Blessed Pelagia Ivanovna of Diveyevo, pray to God for us! Pray that we labor in the fast with joy, and let God’s light illumine our hearts. Pray that our days are filled with humility, and that we learn to love others in charity, just as God loves us. Pray that we can learn to live out our Christian vocation in all times and places, and in all circumstances. Pray that we can learn to be “Fools for Christ” in our own lives…

Μνήμη θαύματος Μεγαλομάρτυρος Γεωργίου στὴ Ζάκυνθο
The Great Martyr of Christ, George, is especially honored this day in Zakynthos, because he is linked to the salvation of the island from the plague that took place in the year 1688. In 1669 Cretan refugees came to the island of Zakynthos after Heraklion fell to the Turks, among whom was Ioannis Papadopoulos who brought with him an old icon of Saint George, which was placed inside the Church of Saint Demetrios of Kola. Sacrilegious thieves, however, stripped it of its silver trim and threw the icon in a trough on November 13, 1688. According to the scholar and priest Nicholas Gavriilopoulos, two young men at dawn were going hunting, and on their way they came upon the icon in the trough. They ran back to the Church of Saint Demetrios and told the parish priest where they found it and how. The Protopriest and other priests from the island went to the spot of the discovery with candles and incense and brought it to Foros (Saint Mark Square), where an excommunication was read towards those who committed this sacrilege. Finally it was then transferred back to the church again. Some days later, on November 24th, throughout the entire district a plague spread, which they considered a divine punishment for the sacrilege. For atonement the people resorted to fasting and prayer. By January 30, 1689 they were completely free of the plague. This was considered a miracle of Saint George, and thus the feast was established. A Service was written by Nicholas Gavriilopoulos himself, and it was printed in Venice in 1710. The state also ordered on February 7, 1689 that every year a procession was to take place on January 30th. It was decided to build a church in honor of Saint George to house the miraculous icon. This Church of Saint George the Kamariotis of Koumouton, built by the nobleman Yakumo Komoutos on his land in memory of his parents, and which was near Saint Mark Square at the beginning of Mantzarou Road, bore the following inscription: "George, by this church in your city, we foreigners entrust to you our salvation".
Γεώργιον τὲ οἴα ναὸν σοὶ πόλις, ἀνατίθησι τῆς ξένης σωτηρίας.
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.
