基诺和约安，不图名利的圣人、显形灵迹者
这两位慈善且荣耀的圣人不是血缘上的兄弟，但他们是属灵的兄弟。起初，基诺生活在亚历山大里亚，是一名医生。他用基督的大能和他医学方面的知识医治了很多病人。在明白了疾病主要源于罪之后，基诺总是教导病人通过忏悔和祷告来洁净灵魂中的罪，这样身体就能够恢复健康。当戴克里先开始迫害基督徒时，基诺隐退到了阿拉伯，成了一名修士。同在亚历山大里亚一样，基诺在阿拉伯也逐渐知名，由此，那里的人们也请求他的帮助。听说了有关基诺的事情后，当时驻埃德萨的罗马官员约安来到阿拉伯见他。他们会面之后，二人如同兄弟一般彼此相爱，并一同潜心修行。当时，一个名叫阿纳斯塔西亚的女基督徒同她的三个女儿在卡诺普斯城中被迫害者们严刑拷打。听到这之后，基诺和约安来到卡诺普斯，鼓励这位母亲和她的女儿们不要放弃信仰。听了他们的忠告后，阿纳斯塔西亚同女儿们忍受了各种酷刑，最终为基督殉道。阿纳斯塔西亚的三个女儿的名字是：15岁的德奥克提斯替；13岁的德奥多塔和11岁的艾弗多克息雅。之后，施刑手们逮捕了基诺和约安，在经过监禁和严刑拷打之后将他们斩首，时为公元311年。在这两位圣人在世时以及离世后曾经施行过无数奇迹。在皇帝阿尔卡蒂乌斯在位期间，这两位圣人的圣髑被迁移到罗马。在圣水和圣膏的仪式上都祈求这两位圣人的帮助，特别是那些饱受失眠之苦的人可以祈求他们。
If you want to keep clear of illness, take care not to sin, because more often than not illness is a result of sin.
They were surnamed anargyres, without doubting because they freely healed all maladies and infirmities by the grace of Christ. Cyrus, he healed not only bodies but souls, bringing many to Christ, and often healing through prayer rather than the use of his medicines and gained great renown there by healing many ailments using only the sign of the Cross. John was a soldier from Edessa who heard of Cyrus' deeds and, leaving the army, sought him out. They met in Egypt, where John became a monk and Cyrus' disciple, joining him in the practice of the virtues and in healing illnesses by prayer. Numerous miracles were wrought by these martyrs, both during their lives and after their deaths. Their bodies were placed in the Church of St Mark in Alexandria. In the 5th century the relics of Sts Cyrus and John were enshrined in a church at Aboukir near Alexandria by St Cyril (June 9). In 414 the relics of Saints Cyrus and John were transferred from Canopis to Manuphin. Their relics were translated to Rome in 634 during the reign of Emperor Arcadius. Later on their relics were transferred to Rome, and from there to Munchen (Munich) (an account further is located under 28 June). Their Relics Are the source of abundant healings and miracles, and the shrine became one of the greatest places of pilgrimage in the Christian world.
These saints are invoked for assistance during the Blessing of Water, in the Sacrament of Holy Unction and especially by those suffering from insomnia.
• Martyress ATHANASIA (Anastasia) 阿塔纳西亚 together with her three daughters: THEOCTISTA (Theopista, Theoctista, Theoktiste, Theoktisti, Theopisti or Theophana) 德奥克提斯替 age 15; THEODOTA (Theodota, Theodoti, Theodote or Theodora) 德奥多塔 age 13; and EUDOCIA (Eudoxia, Evdoxia,Theodosia or Theodoxia) 艾弗多克息雅 age 11 (311) tortured by the persecutors in the town of Canopus
Cyrus, a physician of Alexandria, who by the opportunities which his profession gave him, had converted many sick persons to the faith; and John, an Arabian, hearing that a lady called Athanasia, and her three daughters, of which the eldest was only fifteen years of age, suffered torments for the name of Christ at Canope in Egypt, went thither to encourage them. Concerned that the tender maidens might renounce Christ under torture, the two monks sought them out to encourage them in their confession of the Faith. They themselves were captured, and the governor decided to have them tortured in front of the women, assuming that this would break their spirit. They were apprehended themselves, and cruelly beaten: their sides were burned with torches, and salt and vinegar poured into their wounds in the presence of Athanasia and her daughters, who were also tortured after them. At length the four ladies, and a few days after, Cyrus and John, were beheaded, the two latter on this day. Instead, Cyrus and John bore their sufferings so patiently and boldly that the women were only strengthened in their resolve.

1 Peter 3:15: And be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you.
A convert from Roman Catholicism to Eastern Orthodoxy who became the Bishop of Nazianzus in Mexico, and was martyred in 1984. Bishop Paul's work in Mexico as a churchman, university professor and author was conspicuous, with his deeds including the foundation of the Hellenic Cultural Institute in the City of Mexico in 1973, in the purpose of publicize culture in Mexico through conferences, courses, workshops, licentiates and masters in arts, Mexican history, culture and humanities, as well as a diversity of cultural activities. His activities, however, came to end on January 31, 1984, after celebrating Divine Liturgy, when he was shot dead by Rafael Roman Mondrago, a mentally disturbed Mexican, who then shot himself in an apparent suicide attempt. Authorities did not discard the possibility that the murderer would be driven by some sort of religious fanaticism. His funeral was attended by Archbishop Iakovos. In a visit to Mexico in 2006, Patriarch Bartholomew I of Constantinople asked Metropolitan Athenagoras of Mexico and Central America to transfer the relics of the late Bishop Paul to the Metropolis and be laid to rest in the Cathedral Church of Saint Sophia, in Naucalpan, where a monument is dedicated to him. In addition to his religious and pastoral activities, Bishop Paul was a historian, philosopher and humanist.

• MELANGELL (Monacella) the Righteous of Wales, Recluse or Anchorite of Pennant (also Penant or Tanat) (present day Powys) near Llangynog, Montgomeryshire (6-7th c.)
St Melangell (whose name has been latinised as Monacella) is interesting because the incident for which she is known is a Welsh version of one that is known in various forms in several European countries. She appears in the pedigrees as a descendant of Macsen Wledig (the usurping Roman emperor Magnus Maximus), and according to her legend her father was an Irish king (probably Scottish, in its later meaning, is intended). Another kind of desert was the life in an extremely remote and hidden valley. This was the life chosen by the hermitess St Melangell (the final "ll" is pronounced in the Welsh way as in Llan). Again little is known of her early life but she was one of a group of Welsh female hermits who established cells in remote corners of Wales (at the beginning of the seventh century). She vowed herself to God, and when pressed to marry fled to the part of central Wales called Powys, where she remained hidden for fifteen years. The valley she chose was so remote that no one knew she was there, until one day the prince came into the valley hunting a hare which took refuge under Melangell's skirt. One day the prince of Powys, Brochwel Ysgythrog, came hunting in her neighbourhood, and pursued a hare into a clearing of the forest where Melangell was at prayer. The hare ran for the shelter of her garments, and turned to face its pursuers from a fold of her skirt. Brochwel urged on his hounds, but they drew off, howling; the huntsman tried to wind his horn, but it stuck mute to his lips; and Brochwel approached the girl for an explanation. When he had heard Melangell's story of herself, he made her a present of the land on which they were standing as a perpetual refuge and place of sanctuary, in recognition of God's protection of the little wild hare in the shadow of His servant Melangell. So impressed was the prince that he there and then gave her the valley. The valley chosen by St Melangell is still remote, though there is now a road to it. It is a very beautiful valley with steep hillsides all around or in some cases sheer cliffs. Melangell became quite famous in her life and when she died and was buried at the East end of the church, pilgrimages commenced and the Bala road was built close to it. The road was now been diverted and tranquillity has been restored. The church is being restored and the place of Melangell's burial and subsequent shrine can still be seen. St Melangell is commemorated on May 27th. Accordingly she lived the rest of her life there, another thirty-seven years, gathering a community round her which she directed as abbess. But it was also a meeting-place for hares, who never showed any fear of their protectress, so that they came to be called Melangell's lambs. Melangell is the patron of hares and rabbits. In the little church there is some wood carving from the old rood screen depicting the story of the saint and the remains of her shrine which is now restored. A quarter of a mile away on the opposite side of the valley there is a cleft in the rock which is known as Gwely Melangell, Melangell's hard bed.

• Venerable Sainted NICETAS 尼基塔 the Recluse of the Kiev Caves, bishop of Novgorod (1108) His relics now rest in the church of the holy Apostle Philip in Novgorod
Ὁ Ὅσιος Νικήτας ἐκ Κιέβου
基辅洞窟中的可敬的尼基塔
尼基塔在修道院修行期间不服从于他的领导而离开了修道院，将自己关在一间屋室中。因为他的不顺从，上帝许可巨大的诱惑降于他的身上。一次，当尼基塔祷告时，魔鬼装作一个明亮的天使出现在他面前，并对他说：“不要再祷告了，而要读书，我会为你祷告！”尼基塔听从了，并停止了祷告，开始读书，但他只能阅读《旧约》，甚至不能打开《新约》，因为魔鬼的力量在阻止他。在魔鬼的帮助下，尼基塔只预言犯罪、盗窃、纵火以及其他魔鬼知道并参与的邪恶的事情。最后，基辅洞窟中的圣教父们明白了尼基塔屈从了魔鬼的诱惑，并开始为他向上帝祷告。尼基塔返回了修道院，明白了自己在遭受毁灭，并开始改邪归正。在经过漫长的忏悔和流泪之后，上帝宽恕了他，并赋予他施行奇迹的能力。尼基塔于公元1108年离世。

• Martyress TRYPHAENA (also Tryphaine, Triphena, Tryphaenes, Tryphene, Tryphena or Tryphaina) 特里斐尼 at Cyzicus (Kyzikos) on the Hellespont (present day Balkiz near Erdek in Turkey) (89) invoked by mothers who are unable to breast-feed their children
Ἡ Ἁγία Τρύφαινα ἡ Μάρτυς
女殉道者特里斐尼
特里斐尼为基督的缘故心甘情愿地、勇敢地忍受了很多酷刑。因为她坚守自己的信仰，由此刽子手放出一头野牛将她刺死。当时是公元1世纪。不能哺乳的母亲可以祈求圣特里斐尼的帮助。
The Holy Martyress Tryphena came from the city of Kyzikos. A matron of Cyzicus on the Hellespont voluntarily gave herself over to suffering for Christ. They threw her into a red-hot oven, tied her from an high tree, threw her from an height onto sharp spears, and then took her away for devouring by beasts, but the Lord preserved her unharmed. Finally, she was torn apart by a mad savage bull and gored to death. Saint Tryphena is pictured with an ox and a furnace near her. Sometimes there is a fountain springing at the scene of her martyrdom, giving milk to women. At the place where the holy blood of the Martyr was shed, there is said to have welled up a spring of clear water which, when taken by women whose milk had dried up, it restored its flow for the benefit of their nursing newborn children. And this not only happened for women, but also for female irrational animals, when they did not produce milk, after drinking the water, they received grace and produced milk. For this reason, she is the Patroness of nursing mothers.
