Οἱ Ἅγιοι Δωροθέα καὶ Θεόφιλος οἱ Μάρτυρες ἐν Καισαρείᾳ
女殉道者，圣多若德雅
多若德雅来自卡帕多西亚的恺撒里亚，且才貌出众。当时该省的行政长官萨普里丘斯将多若德雅交给两位异教姐妹赫里斯提那和卡利斯塔，以便让她们二人说服多若德雅放弃基督信仰。但是结果正好相反，多若德雅皈依了二位姐妹信奉基督。行政长官听到这消息后非常气愤，他下令将姐妹二人捆绑起来，投进一个装有沥青的锅中，而后在锅下面点火。同时也将多若德雅判处死刑。多若德雅闻讯后却非常喜悦，说：“哦，拯救灵魂的基督，我感谢你，你正引导我进入你那全圣的住所之中！”当时在场的一名叫德奥斐洛的贵族在一旁耻笑多若德雅的话语，并对她说：“听着，基督的新娘，别忘了在你新郎的乐园中也采摘一些苹果和石榴花给我！”多若德雅回答说：“是的，我将会给你的。”就在多若德雅殉道的地方，一个手捧苹果和三支红色石榴花的少年出现了。这是上帝派来的使者，而当时正是严冬季节。多若德雅要求天使将这些苹果和石榴花送给德奥斐洛，并对他说：“看哪！这就是你要的东西！”当德奥斐洛收到这些礼物且看到这个场景时非常害怕。他痛改前非，原来曾是异教徒的德奥斐洛皈依了基督。至此，德奥斐洛也为基督的缘故遭受了磨难，但是他的灵魂却获得了拯救，同圣多若德雅一起进入基督的乐园之中。
Saint Dorothy is the patroness of brewers, brides, florists, gardeners, midwives, and newly-wedded couples.
According to the apocryphal life of Saint Dorothy, Theophilus is the lawyer who mocked her on her way to martyrdom. Theophilos, with mockery said to her: "Bride of Christ, throw to me rose blossoms and apples from the garden of thy Bridegroom". In reply the martyress nodded to him. Before death, the saint requested time to pray. When she finished the prayer, an Angel appeared before her in the form of an handsome youth presenting her on a pure linen cloth three apples and three rose blossoms. That was an angel of God and it was winter. Dorothea asked the angel to bring them to Theophilus and to tell him: "Behold, this is what you desired!" The saint requested all these be handed over to Theophilos, after which she was beheaded by the sword. Having received the gracious gift, the recent mocker of Christians was shaken, and he believed in the Saviour and confessed himself a Christian. His friends were astonished, and wondered whether he were joking, or perhaps mad. He assured them he was not joking. Then they asked the reason for this sudden change. He asked what month it was. "February", they replied. "In the winter, Cappadocia is covered with ice and frost, and the trees are bare of leaves. What do you think? From where do these apples and flowers come?"
Subjected to cruel tortures because of this, Saint Theophilos accepted a martyr's death through beheading by the sword. He himself was beheaded at Caesarea, Cappadocia, several years later.

女殉道者，圣珐乌斯塔
珐乌斯塔在皇帝马克西米安在位期间的公元305 年－公元311年为基督的缘故而殉道。珐乌斯塔的英勇气概使得刽子手们大为惊呆，也使他们皈依了基督，其中包括80 岁的异教祭司埃维拉西斯和治安高级官员玛克西默。当法官用酷刑恫吓珐乌斯塔时，她要求法官为她画像，上面要画有他用所有的刑具威胁她的图案。圣像制作好了，并展示给珐乌斯塔看，圣珐乌斯塔说：“正如这个圣像对痛苦毫无感觉，我的身体也不会因你的施刑而感到疼痛，因为我的灵魂有主的保护。”法官将她投进一锅沸水里，由此，年仅13岁的珐乌斯塔在临终前口念祷文，而后灵魂安然进入天国。

• INA the King of the West Saxons, and his wife Righteous Queen ETHELBURGA (Ethelburgh) of Wessex (8th c.)

Paulinus of York is credited with enclosing and protecting the original church with wooden panels and lead roofing, and King Ina added to this a Wooden basilica dedicated to the honour of the Blessed Mother of God, Mary, and a new church dedicated to SS Peter and Paul. This church was in memory of his brother Mul, who had died in battle against the King of Kent and is buried in the Abbey of SS Peter and Paul at Canterbury.

Seized, he was beheaded immediately after the three martyrs' execution.
• Sainted JUSTINUS Bishop of Straßburg (387)

• Bishop MELCHU (5th c.)
According to legend, Mel and his brother Melchu (plus Munis and Rioch) were sons among the 17 sons and two daughters of Saint Patrick's sister, Darerca and her husband Conis. While all of the children are reputed to have entered religious life, Mel and Melchu, together with their brothers Muinis and Rioch, accompanied Patrick to Ireland and joined him in his missionary work. Patrick ordained Mel and Melchu bishops. Patrick is reputed to have appointed Mel bishop of Ardagh, and Melchu to the see of Armagh (or vice versa). There is some evidence that Melchu may have been a bishop with no fixed see, who may hae succeeded his brother. Some scandal was circulated about Mel, who lived with his Aunt Lipait but both cleared themselves by miraculous means to Patrick, who ordered them to live apart. According to an ancient tradition, Mel professed Saint Brigid as a nun. During the rite, he inadvertently read over her the episcopal consecration, and that Saint Macaille protested. The ever serene Mel, however, was convinced that it happened according to the will of God and insisted that the consecration should stand.

The Orthodox Church venerates Saint Photius as a Pillar and Foundation of the Church, an Inspired Guide of the Orthodox, and as a zealous defender of the Orthodox East from domination by the pope, and as a wise theologian, leaving behind him various works, exposing the errors of the Latins, refuting various soul-destroying heresies, explicating Holy Scripture, and exploring various aspects of the faith.
