• The "NURTURED UP-BRINGING" ("Education" or "The Teacher") Icon of the Mother of God 1501)
In the Icon called "Nurturing", the Mother of God is depicted with her eternal Child sitting on her left arm. Christ’s right hand is extended upward to the face of the All-Pure Virgin. Before 1917, the holy image was located in the Kazan Cathedral on Red Square, but it was lost after the destruction of that church in 1936. The church was rebuilt in 1993, and it houses a copy of the Nurturing Icon. At that place there is a list of wonderworking icons glorified throughout Russia for their miracles. The title of the Icon speaks for itself. Parents pray for their children in her presence, asking the Most Holy Theotokos to take them under her protection, to send them understanding, and to fill their hearts with wisdom.
Ὁ Ἅγιος Κόνων ὁ Ἴσαυρος
Ὁ Ἅγιος Νέστωρ ὁ Μάρτυρας
圣殉道者伊撒弗里亚的科农
科农在基督信仰中长大，由上帝的天使长弥哈伊尔奉圣三者的名为他施浸。直到去世为止，都有天使长在暗中看顾他。科农被圣灵的恩典光照且赋予能力，由此，他的心从来不会被世间的一切所打动，他的心是属灵的、是属于天国的。科农依照父母的意图而成婚。洞房之夜，他将蜡烛放到了家具下面，然后问新娘说：“是有光好，还是黑暗好？”新娘回答说：“当然是有光好了。”于是，科农就开始想她讲述基督信仰，以致于灵性生活如何比物质生活更好等问题。他获得了成功，而后他的妻子连同其岳父母都皈依了基督，而科农夫妇二人的生活也如同兄妹一般的洁净。但是不久之后她的妻子和岳父母都先后去世，科农由此从这个世间生活中隐退，完全地将自己投身到斋戒和虔敬的生活中。他行了很多奇迹，因此他带领了无数人皈依基督。科农可以命令魔鬼为他做事，这只是他所行的奇迹中的一个。在基督徒遭受迫害期间，他遭到了逮捕、折磨，最后被利刀穿身。患病的人用他的鲜血涂抹，并得到了医治。此后，科农在他的家乡伊撒弗里亚继续生活了两年的时间，敬拜主基督。这位伟大的圣人生活在公元2世纪。

On 5 March 1463, there were opened at Yaroslavl’ the relics of holy Prince Theodore and his sons, David and Konstantin. The chronicler, an eye-witness to the event, recorded under the year: "At the city of Yaroslavl’ in the monastery of the Holy Saviour they did bring up three great princes, prince Feodor Rostislavich and his sons David and Konstantin, and above the ground they did lay them. Great-prince Feodor was a man of great stature, and of his sons David and Konstantin they did lay them alongside, and their stature was less than his. They did lay within a single grave". This feature of the physical appearance of the holy prince so struck the senses of the eye-witnesses and those present at the time of the uncovering of the relics, that an account of this was entered into the Prologue's Saints-lives concerning Saint Theodore, and also into the text of the Iconographic Originals.

He was a man of compunctionate prayer, and possessesed the gift of tears which purify the soul. He was a true pastor to his flock protecting them from spiritual wolves, and guiding them on the path to salvation.

She was born in Ireland, on the borders of Leinster and Ulster, and consecrated herself to God in a religious state under the direction of St Bridget, who built for her a separate oratory, and afterwards a monastery, in a place since called the Field of Breaca. She afterwards passed into Cornwall in company with Abbot Sinnin, a disciple of St Patrick, Maruan, a monk, Germoch, or Gemoch, King Elwen, Crewenna, and Helen. Saint Breaca landed at Revyer, otherwise called Theodore's castle, situated on the eastern bank of the river Hayle, long since, as it seems, swallowed up by the sands on the coast of the northern sea of Cornwall. Tewder, a Welchman, slew part of this holy company. St Breaca proceeded to Pencair, a hill in Pembro parish, now commonly called St Banka. She afterwards built two churches, one at Trenewith, the other at Talmeneth, two mansion places in the parish of Pembro, as is related in the life of St Elwin.

Fifth century monk. May have been a disciple of Saint John Chrysostom, and friend of Saint Nilus the Ascetic, but it's questionable. Wrote over 200 texts on spiritual law, baptism, repentance, grace and holy works, and other topics. May have been the abbot at Ancyra, but later became a desert hermit.

Hieromonk Parthenios Partheniades was a member of the Kollyvades movement, and when he was forced to leave Mount Athos he went to the Monastery of the Annunciation in Icarus. In 1798 Parthenios arrived at the island of Patmos, accompanied by several other monks, and the Meadow of Koutroulis, named after the original proprietor and located on the north side of the island to the south of Cape Sardella, was ceded to him by its owners on the condition that he pay them 25 piastres a year. With builders from Samos he established a small monastery known as the Meadow of Monks. Thus he became the first proprietor of the dependency and for that reason it is called the Kathisma of Parthenios. Needing further resources to complete construction of the monastery, Parthenios went to Thrace to raise the funds. In Thrace he worked as a priest and one day he advised a young Christian woman how to flee a relationship she had with a Muslim Turk. When this Muslim learned of it, he became enraged and killed Parthenios on the 5th of March in 1805.
