• KTITORESS Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos (395) with the perpetual candle
• Wonderworking Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos of PARAMYTHIA 帕拉弥提亚, Vatopedi, Mt Athos (807) called also Consolation and Solace
Σύναξις Ὑπεραγίας Θεοτόκου τῆς Παραμυθίας
The Vatopedian Icon of the Mother of God is located within the old Vatopedi monastery on Athos, in the church of the Annunciation. It received the appellation of "Batopedeia" from this, that nearby this monastery a young prince named Arkadios fell off a ship into the sea, and by the miraculous intercession of the Mother of God he was carried to shore safe and unharmed. They found him here standing by a bush, not far from the monastery. From this event came the name "Batopedeia" ("batos paidos" – "shrub of the Lord" or "the bush of the child"). The holy Emperor Theodosius the Great in gratitude for the miraculous deliverance of his son embellished and generously endowed the Batopedeia monastery.
On the Batopedeia Icon, the Mother of God is depicted with face turned towards the right shoulder, in memory that in the year 807 on 21 January, She turned Her face towards the hegumen of the monastery, who was standing at prayer near the holy icon, and forewarned him of the intent of robbers to pillage the monastery.
Pirates had secretly landed on the shore of the monastery and were hiding, waiting for the gates to open in the morning in order to launch an attack on the monastery of Vatopedi. The Abbot, who had remained behind after the end of Matins in order to continue his prayer, heard these words from the icon of the Blessed Virgin:
"Do not open the gates of the Monastery today, but go up on the walls and drive away the pirates."
As he turned to look, he saw the Theotokos turned towards her right shoulder and looking at him, while the Holy child was stretching out His hand to cover the mouth of His mother saying,
"No, Mother, do not watch over this sinful flock, let them fall under the swore of the pirates and be punished as they deserve."
But the Blessed Virgin, taking Her Son's hand in Hers and turning Her head a little to free her mouth, repeating the same words. This last arrangement of the figures has remained permanently on the icon and has, thus, and has also earned it the rare iconographer's title of "Achaeropito". The hegumen took measures of precaution, and the monastery was saved. The monks, miraculously saved from the pirates, gave thanks to the Theotokos and named the icon "Paramythia", which means "calming down" or "restrain," words which equally convey the content of the miracle. The icon is a wall-painting and is on the right choir of the chapel named after it. In memory of this miraculous event a perpetual lamp burns in front of the wonderworking icon. Every day a Canon of Supplication is chanted in honour of the icon and on Fridays the Divine Liturgy is celebrated.
• Icon of the Mother of God "THE STABBED" (Greek: "Esphagmeni", Slavonic: "Zaklannaya") (14th c.) in the Vatopedi monastery on Mt. Athos, in a chapel dedicated to Saint Demetrius of Thessalonica
The icon was painted on canvas, and received its name of "The Stabbed" from the following event:
A certain ecclesiarch, a deacon of the Vatopedi monastery, was occupied with overseeing the order of a long service. Delayed by his duties, he was late for the meal in the trapeza. The annoyed cook refused to give him any food, and reminded him that he should come on time if he wished to eat. Offended, the deacon flew into a rage and he went to the church again. Standing before the icon of the Mother of God, he said, "How long must I go on serving You? I have toiled, but I have nothing to show for it. You don’t even care whether or not I have anything to eat!"
Then he struck Her on the cheek with a knife and pierced right through the canvas. Blood flowed from the wound, and the deacon was struck blind. The terrified transgressor fell down right in front of the icon, trembling all over, like Cain, the murderer of old. The igumen, served the all-night Vigil praying for mercy and the salvation of the hapless one. After three years the All-Holy Virgin appeared to the igumen and said that she had forgiven the deacon, and would restore his health, but his hand which committed the sacrilege would be condemned at the Lord’s Second Coming. The deacon recovered his sight, and deeply repented of his transgression. Settling himself in a stall opposite the icon he stabbed, he spent the rest of his life in repentance before it. Three years after the deacon’s death, his bones were uncovered, according to the Athonite custom. His body had decomposed, but his right hand remained intact and was all black. This hand is preserved at the monastery in memory of the unfathomable love of the Mother of God. It is in rather poor condition, however, because pilgrims would take pieces of it, believing it to be a relic.
• The "XENOPHON HODIGITRIA"示道 Icon of the Mother of God
The "Xenophon Hodigitria" Icon of the Mother of God according to tradition, this wonderworking icon was for many years at the Vatopedi monastery on Mt Athos, in the katholikon in front of a column on the left cliros. In 1730, it mysteriously disappeared not only from the church, but also from the monastery. Since the doors were locked, the monks assumed that thieves had stolen it. Soon they heard that the icon was at the Xenophon monastery, a three hour journey from Vatopedi. Several monks were sent to return their spiritual treasure to the Vatopedi monastery. The icon was restored to its former place, and the Fathers of the monastery took precautions to prevent the icon from being stolen again. However, the icon of the Mother of God left the Vatopedi monastery and appeared at Xenophon a second and third time. Persuaded that this was actually a miraculous occurrence, the brethren of the monastery decided not to oppose the will of the Mother of God, and left the icon at Xenophon. As a sign of their blessing, the brethren provided candles and oil for the icon. The "Hodigitria" Icon at Xenophon is in the katholikon, before a column on the left cliros, the very same place it occupied at the Vatopedi monastery.
• Our Lady of Altagracia (Our Lady of Grace, Our Lady of High Grace, Tatica from Higuey, Virgen de la Altagracia, Virgin of Altagracia)
A portrait of the Virgin Mary in a Nativity scene. It is 13 inches (33 centimeters) wide by 18 inches (45 centimeters) high, and is painted on cloth. It is a primitive work of the Spanish school, painted c.1500. The Spanish brothers Alfonso and Antonio Trejo, two of the first European settlers on Santo Domingo, brought the portrait to the island some time prior to 1502, and eventually donated it to the parish church at Higuey. It's first shrine was finished in 1572, and in 1971 it was moved to its present Basilica. Legend says that the pious daughter of a rich merchant asked her father to bring her a portrait of Our Lady of Altagracia from Santo Domingo, but no one had heard of that title. The merchant, staying overnight at a friend's house in Higuey, described his problem as they sat outdoors after dinner. An old man with a long beard, who just happened to be passing by, pulled a rolled up painting from his bindle, gave it to the merchant, and said, "This is what you are looking for." It was the Virgin of Altagracia. They gave the old man a place to stay for the night, but by dawn he was gone, not to be seen again. The merchant placed the image on their mantle, but it repeatedly disappeared only to be found outside, and the family finally returned it to the church.
Οἱ Ἅγιοι Πάντες Μάρτυρες ἀπὸ τοῦ Πρωτομάρτυρα Στέφανου μέχρι σήμερα
The Martyrs of Christ are the greatest resisters in the history of mankind. They resisted violence, authoritarianism and delusion with the power of their sacrificial love that gives life, and not by the power, or we should rather say weakness, of hatred which kills. The Holy Martyrs, free of the tyranny of the passions and demonic falsehood ("the idols of the nations are demons"), experienced the truth as reality in the person of the Word of God ("I am the Truth") and freedom as the subjugation of the flesh, or carnal mind, to the spirit. Because they experienced God's presence sensibly in the regeneration of their existence by the Holy Spirit, this is why they endured to the end without bending even to the most inhumane tortures. They sacrificed themselves, like Christ, that others may live, and did not sacrifice others that they may live. The various ideologies, as constructs of passionate people, are unable to offer life. Rather, they can even cause death, pain and suffering. In the name of a pharisaical or rather demonic justice they reduce human lives to better, as they claim, human societies, removing them from the elements which, in their opinion, prevent their progress. That is, they try with violence and killing to regenerate humanity and kill others that they may live. The saints endured all forms of martyrdoms, silently and prayerfully, but they did not achieve this on their own and it was not due to strong will or strong character, rather it was the work of the uncreated Grace of God that encompassed their entire existence, their soul and body, and it empowered them, strengthened them and consoled them. When a person, by the Grace of God and their personal struggle, conquers their passions and is sovereign over them, then the Grace of God overshadows them and dwells in their entire existence, and then a person acquires perfect love and all the other virtues. This is why they selflessly love others, as well as all of creation. They fervently desire martyrdom, since perfect love by nature is martyric, sacrificial and a cross. Also, it gives a fragrance to their entire existence, their words and actions, their soul and their body, which still continues to be fragrant after the departure of the soul. The myrrh-scented relics of the saints are a seal of their authenticity and holiness, and they also confirm the teaching of the Church in regards to the resurrection of the dead and about eternal life.

Ἡ Ἁγία Ἁγνὴ ἡ Μάρτυς
殉道圣女阿格尼斯
Christ made my soul beautiful with the jewels of grace and virtue. I belong to Him whom the angels serve. - Saint Agnes
在阿格尼斯才13岁时，就因对基督的信仰而遭受火刑，最后遭斩首。在生前死后，她都施行了伟大的奇迹。她殉道的时间正是戴克里先皇帝在位时期，公元305年。
Foster-sister of Saint Emerentiana. At age 12 or 13 Agnes was ordered to sacrifice to pagan gods and lose her virginity by rape. She was taken to a Roman temple to Minerva (Athena), and when led to the altar, she made the Sign of the Cross. She was threatened, then tortured when she refused to turn against God. Several young men presented themselves, offering to marry her, whether from lust or pity is not known. She said that to do so would be an insult to her heavenly Spouse, that she would keep her consecrated virginity intact, accept death, and see Christ. Martyr. Mentioned in first Eucharistic prayer. On her feast day two lambs are blessed at her church in Rome, Italy and then their wool is woven into the palliums (bands of white wool) which the pope confers on archbishops as symbol of their jurisdiction.
Today is the birthday of a virgin; let us imitate her purity. It is the birthday of a martyr; let us offer ourselves in sacrifice. It is the birthday of Saint Agnes, who is said to have suffered martyrdom at the age of twelve. There was little or no room in that small body for a wound. Yet she shows no fear of the blood-stained hands of her executioners. She offers her whole body to be put to the sword by fierce soldiers. She is too young to know of death, yet is ready to face it. Dragged against her will to the altars, she stretches out her hands to the Lord int he midst of the flames, making the triumphant sign of Christ the victor on the altars of sacrilege. She puts her neck and hands in iron chains, but no chain can hold fast her tiny limbs. In the midst of tears, she sheds no tears herself. She stood still, she prayed, she offered her neck. You could see fear in the eyes of the executioner, as if he were the one condemned. His right hand trembled, his face grew pale as he saw the girl's peril, while she had no fear for herself. One victim, but a twin martyrdom, to modesty and religion; Agnes preserved her virginity and gained a martyr's crown. - from an essay On Virgins by Saint Ambrose of Milan

• Venerable MAXIMUS 玛克西默 the Confessor (662)
Ὁ Ὅσιος Μάξιμος ὁ Ὁμολογητής
宣信者，可敬的玛克西默
圣玛克西默出生于君士坦丁堡，起初，他是希拉克略皇帝的高级朝臣。之后，他在帝都附近的修道院出家，后被推举为院长。他是驳斥所谓基督一意论异端中正教最伟大的捍卫者。这种邪说其实就是改头换面的一性论异端，一性论宣扬说基督只有一种本性，一意论则说基督只有一个意志。圣玛克西默因为反对这一邪说而遭到皇帝和牧首的排斥。圣人不畏权贵，忍耐到底，证明基督有两种本性也有两个意志。经过他的一番努力，召开了两次公会议，一次是在迦太基，另一次是在罗马，这两次会议都将基督一意论断为异端。圣玛克西默为正道承受了难以形容的苦难：王子对他施以非人酷刑、主教们欺骗他、众人唾弃他、士兵狱卒殴打他，被放逐、被监禁，最后，他被割去舌头和右手，并被判处终身流放到斯基马里斯岛（黑海附近的巴图姆地区）。在那里，他渡过了三年的牢笼生活，最后于公元666年安息归主。

St Maximos the Greek was imprisoned in Russia, banished to the Monastery of Volokolamsk, where he suffered from hunger, bitter cold and all kinds of torments. There he was bereft of everything, even being deprived of Holy Communion and books, yet prayer alone sustained him. The Lord did not abandon him, but one day an Angel appeared to him and said "Have patience: You will be delivered from eternal torment by sufferings here below." In thanks for this divine comfort, St Maximus wrote a canon to the Holy Spirit on the walls of his cell in charcoal, since he was denied the use of paper and pen. THE PARACLETE: This Canon is sung on Pentecost Monday in some Monasteries.
"Wherefore with manna having sustained Israel in the wilderness of old, and my soul, O Lord-Vladyka, is filled of the All-Holy Spirit, through Which vouchsafe that I shalt serve Thee always..."

• Venerable NEOPHYTES the Prosmonarios (the keeper of a church, one who waits for and receives those who come to worship) of Vatopedi on Mt Athos (1339)
Ὁ Ὅσιος Νεόφυτος
Saint Neophytos of Vatopaidi was a church caretaker or sacristan (prosmonarios) at the Vatopaidi Monastery of Mount Athos in the 17th century. He was sent to the monastery's metochion (dependency) which honored Saint Athanasius in Evia to serve. After two years Neophytos fell grievously ill, and he turned with intense prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos, asking to be allowed to die in his own monastery. He heard a voice from the Paramythia icon of the Mother of God, which was a copy of the original from Vatopaidi, saying, "Go to your monastery, Neophytos. You will be ready in a year." The miraculously healed Neophytos returned and intensified his spiritual efforts in preparation for his departure from this life.
After a year of repentance, when he had received the Holy Mysteries of Christ, he again heard the voice from the original Paramythia icon of the Mother of God saying that it was time for him to depart. He returned to his cell and fell ill. After asking forgiveness from the brethren, he surrendered his soul to the Lord.

• Hieromartyr PUBLIUS of Malta, Bishop of Athens (112)
Tradition identifies this saint with Publius, "chief man of the island of Malta" who befriended St Paul after his shipwreck (Acts 28:7-10). He became the first Bishop of Malta and later Bishop of Athens, being martyred under Trajan.
In the vicinity of that place were lands belonging to a man named Publius, the chief of the island. He welcomed us and received us cordially as his guests for three days. It so happened that the father of Publius was sick with a fever and dysentery. Paul visited him and, after praying, laid his hands on him and healed him. After this had taken place, the rest of the sick on the island came to Paul and were cured. They paid us great honor and when we eventually set sail they brought us the provisions we needed. - Acts 28:7-10

• ZOSIMAS 佐息玛 bishop of Syracuse (662)
Ὁ Ὅσιος Ζώσιμος
The blessed Zosimos also gives an account of a certain woman, who came from a noble family, and who was shameless in her mind and impure. Because she had been beaten harshly by her husband, she went to the Monastery of Saint Lucy, first in order to flee the sufferings bestowed upon her by her enraged husband, and also to be healed of the beating she received. When night came, Saint Lucy yelled out with such a voice, that it entered the ears of Zosimos who was sleeping, and she said, "Remove the unclean woman from the Monastery," and she said this while pointing with her hand. With much fear Zosimos got up, and said to the servants of that woman: "Quickly rouse your mistress from here, and take her outside with her bed." The servants then approached the bed, and they found their mistress dead.
Having worked many miracles, and conducting himself as an ascetic, he departed to the Lord. Many sick people were healed of their various ailments both before he was buried and after he was buried. The demonized were liberated, and the blind were able to see again. One Christian had a wife with an issue of blood, and taking a piece of the garment of the Saint, he gave it to his wife, and she became a recipient of healing for her suffering, with the flow of blood immediately ceasing.
• ZACHARIAS the Angelic (950) Hermit and monk on Mount Mercury, Lucania, Italy
Μνήμη Ἐγκαινίων ναοῦ τῆς Ἁγίας Εἰρήνης
O Master, all-good Paraclete, Who art One of the holy and worshipful, consubstantial and indivisible Trinity, accept this poor entreaty which Thou hast allowed to be offered unto Thee by a man sinful and condemned; and forgive me mine offenses, voluntary and involuntary. Cleanse me of my hidden [sins], and take pity on Thy servant [in the face of the sins] of others. Extend Thy favor to me, the sinful and unworthy, visit the infirmity of my soul with Thy grace, and heal its broken state.
Have mercy on me, O Master, Paraclete and God! Have mercy on me, sanctify my soul and body, enlighten my mind and reason, and cleanse the conscience of my soul from all defilement. And from impure thoughts, from the plottings of the wicked and the intentions of the bad, from all vainglory, pride and self-aggrandizement, from arrogance and audacity, from satanic insolence, and from all pharisaical hypocrisy and mine every evil habit, do Thou utterly deliver me for the sake of the glory of Thy name. And grant me sincere repentance, contrition and humility of heart, meekness and serenity, and all Christian reverence, understanding and spiritual skill, with all nobility, thankfulness and perfect patience.
Yea, O God, for the sake of the glory of Thy name hearken unto me, the sinful one who prayeth to Thee, and vouchsafe that for the remainder of my wretched life I may sincerely repent of mine iniquities with all humbleness of mind, chastity and true temperance, having put away all doubt, double-mindedness and insensitivity; and fully preserve me in a pious and Orthodox confession of the Christian Faith, O Master, that I may be vouchsafed all the days of my life to hymn thee without doubting, to bless and glorify Thee, and to say: O holy God, unoriginate Father! O holy Mighty One, His Son Who is equally without beginning! O holy Immortal One, Holy Spirit Who proceedest from the Father and abidest and restest in the Son! O most Holy Trinity, glory be to Thee! Glory to Thee, O Holy Trinity, Who art consubstantial, life-creating and indivisible!
Glory to Thee for all things!
Glory to thee, O Mother of God, refuge of the faithful, deliverance for those beset by evils, and divine consolation of my soul! O thou who art full of the grace of God, my most wretched soul, which hast been wounded by the arrows of the enemy, do I entrust to thine almighty intercession; and protect and save it unharmed by the wiles of the demons, that I may cry out to thee: Rejoice, O unwedded Bride!
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.
