• Transfer (1495) of The VILNO ("Vilensk") 维伦斯科 Icon of the Mother of God to Vilnüs
Σύναξις Ὑπεραγίας Θεοτόκου ἐν Βιλὲνσκ
The Vilensk Icon of the Mother of God was written by the holy Evangelist Luke. For a long time it was in the family of the Greek emperors at Constantinople. In 1472 Sophia Paleologa, spouse of the Moscow GreatPrince Ivan III (1462-1505), transferred the icon to Moscow. In 1495 the GreatPrince blessed his daughter Elena with this icon before giving her in marriage to the Lithuanian king Alexander. In honour of the transfer of the icon to Vilna a feast was established 15 February. Later on they placed the holy icon in the John the ForeRunner church, in which princess Elena was buried. And afterwards they transferred the icon to the Vilensk Holy Trinity monastery.
• The "Vienna that in the Ugra" Icon of the Mother of God (1570)
Σύναξις Ὑπεραγίας Θεοτόκου ἐν Βένσκ
Appearence of the Vienna icon, which was in Ugra, followed in 1570. Only her name makes one think that it was brought from the West. In contradiction with this, apparently, is the fact that the image of the Virgin on the Vienna icon is made in the Eastern Orthodox style, and not in the Western; it resembles the icon of the Holy Virgin icon of the Theotokos of St Eliah (March 10). But the contradiction is only apparent. Undoubtedly, there were a lot of Orthodox Christians in Vienna and Hungary. From them, the Vienna icon and could move to Russia, even after the separation of the Western Church from the Eastern. According to some accounts the icon of the Virgin "Vienna, that in the Ugra" passed to us in Russia is not direct from Hungary, but through Athos, where she was for some time in the monastery of St Dionysius. From Russia, she was later returned to Athos.
• DALMATIAN 达尔马迁 Icon of the Mother of God (1646)
Σύναξις Ὑπεραγίας Θεοτόκου ἐν Δαλματίᾳ
This icon is in the Dalmatian Dormition Monastery, Perm Province. Also the monk Dalmatus, founder of the monastery, brought the icon here in 1644. Depicted on the icon is the Dormition of the Mother of God.
The spirit of Christ is ever a spirit of martyrdom. It is always the spirit of the cross. The more we share in the suffering life of Christ, the greater share we inherit of His Spirit, and of the fruits of His death. To souls mortified in their senses and disengaged from earthly things, God gives frequent foretastes of the sweetness of eternal life, and ardent desires of possessing Him in His glory. This is the spirit of martyrdom, which entitles a Christian to a happy resurrection and to the bliss of the life to come.

Then they were ruthlessly tortured in prison. Golden teeth were torn off with mites from mouth of alive people, executors tore off rings from fingers, they beat mercilessly, so many of the defendants had their teeth and ribs broken. The investigator of the OGPU severely beat priests during interrogations, and once mockingly ordered the contents of the parasha (of prison closet) to be poured on Mikhael. On February 28, Fr Mikhail was given a meeting with eldest daughter Anna. The meeting was through the bars. Michael asked: "Anna, give me your tress." Anna stretched the tress through the grate, and all of it was then wet. "Dad, why are you crying?" "It's very hard for me, because there are so many of you and you are left alone." The same night Anna saw in a dream, as the Mother of God give Communion from the golden cup to Michael. Anna woke up with the thought that her father would be released. Joyful, she hurried to prison with a package, but it turned out because Michael had already been shot. Executors buried shoted priests in a common grave near the prison. Later on this place a zavod was built, and the graves were destroyed.

From his birth he was cared for by his uncle St Freoch. A number of Lives of this saint have survived and they show him to have been a disciple of Saint Kevin of Glendalough. His first teacher was Saint Daigh (Dageus) of Iniscaoin, County Louth, and it was while a student there that Saint Berach worked one of his most famous miracles, as recorded by the Martyrology of Donegal. When he was a disciple to Bishop Daigh, son of Cairell, Daigh sent him to a certain mill in Magh Muirtheimhne with a sack of wheat to grind it, and he found a woman and a boy of the people of the territory before him at the mill, they having with them a sack of oats to grind it; and Berach asked of them their turn of the mill, but they did not give it to him, and they put together the oats and the wheat into the mill, and a division was made between them in the mill through the miracles of God and of Berach, so that the wheat was on one side and the oats on the other side without the admixture of the meal of the one with that of the other, as is evident in his life, in which many miracles and signs are read of. Afterwards he became a disciple of St Kevin and founded a monastery at Clusin-Coirpte in Connaught. He is the Patron Saint of Kilbarry near Dublin in Ireland.
• DALMATUS 达尔玛特 abbot and founder of the Dormition Monastery in Siberia (1697)
Ὁ Ὅσιος Δαλμάτιος ὁ ἐκ Σιβηρίας
The Saint received a blessing from the Bishop of Tobolsk to build a wooden chapel and some cells. This was the beginning of the great Monastery of the Dormition (also called the Monastery of St Dalmatius). Over the years the brethren endured many tribulations. Once the Tatar Prince of the region, provoked by false rumors, planned to destroy the monastery and kill all the monks. The night before the attack, the holy Mother of God appeared to the prince in resplendent clothes, holding a flaming sword in one hand and a scourge in the other. She forbade the Prince to harm the monastery or the brethren, and commanded him to give them a permanent concession over the region. Convinced by this vision, the Prince made peace with the monks and became the Monastery's protector, though he was a Muslim. In the succeeding years the Monastery was repeatedly burned down by the fierce pagan tribes which inhabited the area; once all the monks except St Dalmatius himself were butchered, but always the monastery was rebuilt. The Saint reposed in peace in 1697, and was succeeded as abbot by his own son Isaac, who built a stone shrine at the Monastery to house the relics of the Saint and the icon of the Mother of God which he had kept with him throughout his monastic life.

The Holy New Martyr John came from a village near Thessaloniki called Koulakia, now known as Halastra (or Pyrgos) and he was a teacher. For a certain period of time he went to Mount Athos, where he had a subordinate named Argyris. When John was in Thessaloniki, during a conversation with certain Turks, an argument ensued where the Turks accused John of wanting at one time to become a Muslim. John categorically denied their claim, so they led him to the bazaar, probably the central market of the city, and they executed him without trial by hanging him. This took place on Tuesday, at 4:00 AM, on the 15th of February in 1776. After he was hung, the Turks threw his relic into the sea.
• MABYN (Mabenna or Mabon), Abs., Pat. of St. Mabyn’s Church, Cornwall (6th c.) • Martyr MAJOR 玛约尔 of Gaza (297)

• Holy Hieromartyr Apostle ONESIMUS 阿尼西母 of the Seventy Lesser Apostles (109)
Ὁ Ἅγιος Ὀνήσιμος ὁ Ἀπόστολος μαθητὴς τοῦ Ἀποστόλου Παύλου
七十使徒之圣奥尼息默
奥尼息默是“70使徒”之一。他原来是斐利蒙的奴隶，因为他冒犯了他的主人而逃到了罗马。在那里他听了圣徒帕弗罗传讲福音，并接受了浸礼。因为早先帕弗罗将斐利蒙皈依了主，为了调和主人斐利蒙和奴隶奥尼息默，帕弗罗特意给斐利蒙写了一封信。这封信就是圣经中最感人的部分之一：“我为我的孩子奥尼息默乞求你，在囚禁中我成为他的父亲。也许他暂时离开你，是叫你永远得着他，不再是作为奴隶，乃是高过奴隶，是作为亲爱的兄弟；也是我特别欢爱的。”（致斐利蒙书／门／费1：10，15，16）。斐利蒙看后大受感动，并真的跟奥尼息默解除了主仆关系，将他看成是兄弟。之后，众宗徒任命奥尼息默为主教，并担任艾弗所的主教，接任圣徒提摩泰。这从依纳爵的信中可见。当图拉真迫害基督徒期间，奥尼息默已经年迈，但仍然遭到了逮捕，并被带到了罗马。在罗马，在审判官特蒂鲁斯面前，奥尼息默表明了自己的信仰，而后，他立即被投放到监狱中，最后遭到了斩首。一个富有的女人带走了他的尸体，并将其放在一个用银制成的棺柩里，于公元109年将其厚葬。
Saint Onesimos was Saint Philemon's slave, to whom the Apostle Saint Paul wrote a letter. He was a disciple of Saint Paul and helped him for some time. At the Apostle's death, he was seized and brought before President Tertullus, who sent him to Puteoli in Campania. Later, however, the President went to Puteoli and finding the Saint persevering in Christ's faith, ordered that he be cruelly beaten with rods and that his limbs be broken. He thus left this transitory life.
Therefore, although I have the full right in Christ to order you to do what is proper, I rather urge you out of love, being as I am, Paul, an old man, and now also a prisoner for Christ Jesus. I urge you on behalf of my child Onesimus, whose father I have become in my imprisonment, who was once useless to you but is now useful to both you and me. I am sending him, that is, my own heart, back to you. I should have liked to retain him for myself so that he might serve me on your behalf in my imprisonment for the gospel, but I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that the good you do might not be forced but voluntary. - Philemon 1:8-14
• OSWY 奥斯维 King of Northumbria (670)
• Venerable PAPHNUTIUS 帕弗努提 the Recluse of Kiev Caves, from the Pechersk Lavra (Monastery of the Caves) in Kiev (1202) Ukraine. The Relics are kept at St Theodosy Far Caves of the Lavra
Saint Paphnutius had the gift of tears, which Saint John of the Ladder says (Step 6:1) is preceded by the remembrance of death. For worldly people, this remembrance may lead to fear and distress, but for Saint Paphnutius it led to constant prayer and the guarding of his mind. By remembering the hour of death and God’s judgment, Saint Paphnutius was able to free himself from worldly distractions and passions through prayer, repentance and fasting. This, in turn, led to tears.

• Bishop SIGFRID (Sigfrid Växjö) of Wexlow (1045) a priest and monk, probably at Glastonbury in England. He went to enlighten Sweden and was based in Vaxjo. One of his converts was King Olaf of Sweden
Priest at York and/or Glastonbury in England. Monk. Evangelized in Norway, Sweden, Denmark. Brought King Olaf of Sweden to the faith. While Sigfrid was away on a mission, his three nephews (Saint Winaman, Saint Unaman, and Saint Sunaman), who had come to help with the work in Sweden, were beheaded by pagan raiders. Sigfrid returned, recovered their heads, and claimed they could talk, a claim that terrorized the pagans. King Olaf decided to execute the murderers, but Sigfrid spoke against capital punishment and the killers were spared. Olaf then ordered them to pay a large fine, but Sigfrid refused the blood money, and thus achieved such a moral high ground that his mission work became even more successful.
