• Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos "ASSUAGE MY SORROW"
平息我的痛苦
Σύναξις Ὑπεραγίας Θεοτόκου τῆς Παραμυθίας ἐν Ρωσίᾳ
The icon was brought to Moscow by Cossacks in 1640 during the reign Mikhail Feodorovich (1613-1645) and placed in a temple of Sainted Nicholas at Pupyshakh and Sadovnikakh. The celebration of the wonderworking icon, made annually on 25 January, was established in the year 1760 in memory of the healing of a sick woman, who had been granted a vision of the holy image, and was healed after a molieben service before it on 25 January in the church of Saint Nicholas at Pupyshakh street in Moscow. To this period are attributed the compilation to it of services and an akathist.
• Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos "UNEXPECTED JOY" 意外之喜乐 // JAN 25 // MAY 1 //
The sinful youth, who was nevertheless devoted to the Theotokos, was praying one day before the icon of the All Pure Virgin before going out to commit a sin. Suddenly, he saw that wounds appeared on the Lord’s hands, feet, and side, and blood flowed from them. In horror he exclaimed, "O Lady, who has done this?" The Mother of God replied, "You and other sinners, because of your sins, crucify My Son anew." Only then did he realize how great was the depth of his sinfulness. For a long time he prayed with tears to the All Pure Mother of God and the Savior for mercy. Finally, he received the unexpected joy of the forgiveness of his sins.
殉道者圣女斐利基塔和她的7个儿子
在皇帝安托尼努斯在位期间，作为一名基督徒，斐利基塔同她的7个儿子一同殉道，时年为公元164年。她唯一祈求上帝的是：不要让自己在儿子们之前遭难，这样，她便能够在他们受刑期间鼓励他们，好让他们不会否认基督。上帝成全了她的意愿，这位超凡的妈妈高兴地逐一陪同她的儿子们，亲眼目睹了他们为基督而殉道。之后，心怀对上帝的无言感激，她自己也光荣殉道。斐利基塔同她的7个儿子在罗马殉道，他们的圣髑也被安放在那里。
Saint Felicita, seeing the suffering of her sons, besought God, that they would stand firm and enter the Heavenly Kingdom before her. All the sons died as martyrs before the eyes of their mother. After them, Saint Felicita herself underwent a martyr's death.

• DWYNWEN (Donwen, Donwenna, Dwyn or Dunwen) of Anglesey (Llan-Dwyn, Llanddwyn or Ludgvan and Porthd-Dwyn) (460) Patroness of Love and Marriage; through her, God look after all true lovers. She is also the patron saint of sick animals
Dwynwen coined the maxim, "nothing wins hearts like cheerfulness".
Beautiful, pious and virtuous daughter of the 5th century Welsh king, Brychan of Brecknock. A certain Maelon fell in love with her, and wished to marry her. Though Dwynwen returned his love, her heart was set on becoming a nun, and she rejected him. She dreamt she was given a sweet drink which saved her from his attentions, but which turned the poor young man to ice. Realising that Maelon couldn't help his love for her, she prayed that he be restored to life, that all lovers should find happiness, and that she never have the desire for marriage. Dwynwen became a nun and lived on Llanddwyn Island on the western coast of Ynys Mon (Anglesey), an area accessible only at low tide.
Her well, a fresh-water spring called Ffynnon Dwynwen, became a wishing well and place of pilgrimage, particularly for lovers because of the story above. The tradition grew that the eel in the well could foretell the future for lovers - ask questions and watch which way they turn. Women would scatter breadcrumbs on the surface, then lay her handkerchief on water's surface; if the eel disturbed it, her lover would be faithful. All this led to her connection with animals, which eventually led to the tradition that her intercession could heal injured animals. There are churches dedicated to her in Wales and Cornwall. In recent years, her feast day has become increasingly popular among the Welsh with cards being sent just as on Valentine's Day, and her well continues to be a place of pilgrimage; there's a tradition that if the fish in the well are active when a couple visits, it's the sign of a faithful husband.

Ὁ Ἅγιος Γρηγόριος ὁ Θεολόγος Ἀρχιεπίσκοπος Κωνσταντινουπόλεως
君士坦丁堡的总主教，神学家格里高利
格里高利出生于纳兹安祖斯，父亲是希腊人、母亲是一名基督徒。在格里高利接受浸礼之前，他同大瓦西里和叛教者犹利安一同在雅典学习。格里高利经常预言，犹利安会叛教，并将迫害教会，这果然发生了。格里高利尤其受到了他慈善的母亲诺娜的影响。当他完成学业后就接受了浸礼。圣瓦西里按立他为萨斯马的主教，受德奥多西大帝之邀，他出任君士坦丁堡总主教之职。格里高利留下了大量的著作，其中最著名的就是他的神学著作，也由此被誉为神学家。在他的著作中，《论圣三者》因其深度而尤为著名。他写了有关反对异端马其顿尼的文章，马其顿尼的谬论说，圣灵是上帝的创造物；同时也写文章反对阿颇利纳里的异端邪说，该异端声称：基督没有人的灵魂，神性替代了人的灵魂。格里高利还写了反对他当年的同窗、皇帝犹利安的文章。公元381年，有关格里高利当选总主教一事引起了争论，但是他却自行隐退，并发表声明说：“那些夺走我们总主教职位的人，不能夺走与我们同在的上帝。”之后，格里高利离开了君士坦丁堡，来到了纳兹安祖斯，独处和祷告，并专心著书。格里高利虽然一生健康欠佳，但是他却活了80岁。他的圣髑后来被运到罗马。他的头骨置于圣骨匣中保留在莫斯科的圣母安息教堂内。格里高利因其温顺和圣洁的品格，及其思想的卓越深度而使其成为正教的一盏明灯。格里高利于公元390年安息主怀。

• MOCHONNA (also Mocenna or Moconna) of Earnaidhe (Urney)
• Sainted MOSES 摩西 archbishop of Novgorod (1362)
Ὁ Ἅγιος Μωϋσῆς ὁ Θαυματουργός Ἐπίσκοπος Νόβγκοροντ
• PALAEMON (Palamon, Palemon) of Thebaid (325)
During the persecutions of Diocletian, he sought refuge in the deserts of Upper Egypt, and became one of the earliest Egyptian desert hermits. Friend and spiritual director of Saint Pachomius of Tabenna. Worked to develop the spiritual lives of other desert hermits by bringing them together; this was part of the foundation of Christian monasticism.
• Conversion of Apostle PAUL on the Way to Damascus
When God wants to have a soul, he has it.
The accounts by Luke (Acts 9 and 26) and Paul himself (Acts 22) bear witness that it is in thunder and lightning that God takes possession of Saul on his hatred-march to Damascus. He knocks him over, blinds him, and in a heart-rending voice says: "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" The reply: "But who are you?" And the mysterious voice which instills both fear and love: "It is I, Jesus, whom you pursue. And you cannot resist my spurs." Saul is hurt. In fact, he cannot resist. Saul says: "Lord, what do you want me to do?" And Jesus replies: "Arise, go into the city and there you will be told what to do." Paul's conversion was remarkable considering he had been Christianity's bitterest critic and most formidable opponent. "You have heard of my manner of life," he says, "how that beyond measure I persecuted the Church of God, and made havoc of it." Through all his life he must have been haunted by the look in the eyes of the dying Stephen for whose death he had been primarily responsible. Paul gave the infant Church leadership and direction, planned its strategy, dispatched its missionaries across the frontiers, and consolidated the work of our Lord. Confronted with growing numbers and widely scattered and unorganized groups, he gave it shape and coherence, without which its work and witness might never have survived.
• Venerable Abbot POPPO of Stavelot in Belgium (978-1048)
Born in Flanders, after a military career he made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and Rome. On his return he became a monk at St Thierry in Rheims in 1006. Two years later he moved to Saint Vannes and then to Vaast in Arras. In 1021 he became Abbot of Stavelot-Malmédy in Belgium and the monastic revival soon spread to other monasteries, among others to Hautmont, Marchiennes, St Maximinus of Trier in Germany and St Vaast in Arras in France.

Worked with Saint Reol of Rheims, Saint Agilbert of Paris, Saint Amarinus of Clermont, and Saint Ouen of Rouen. Killed by a man named Agritius who held Praejectus responsible for the arrest and execution of Hector, lord of Marseilles (in modern France). Considered a martyr immediately after his death, but his murder does not seem to have been related to his faith.
• Venerable ascetic PUBLIUS (Poplios) 普博利 of Zeugma, on the Euphrates of Syria (380)
Ὁ Ὅσιος Πούπλιος
可敬的普博利
