Οἱ Ἅγιοι Ἀββάδες Μαῦροι οἱ ἐν τῇ μονῇ Ἁγίου Σάββα ἀναιρεθέντες
耶路撒冷圣萨瓦道院诸位成德之父：约安以及其他修士
耶路撒冷附近的圣萨瓦修道院至今仍然存在，塞尔维亚的圣萨瓦亲自拜访了这座修道院，同时，也得到了塞尔维亚的好几位君王在财政上的支持。虽然曾经遭遇阿拉伯人的多次野蛮践踏，但是出于上帝的天意，这座修道院总是被重建，保存至今。君士坦丁大帝和皇后艾莱尼在位期间，这座修道院又遭到了阿拉伯人的攻击。但是修道院的修士们并不打算逃离修道院，他们同修道院院长进行了协商，说：“我们为了追求基督的爱才逃离这世界来到这荒凉之地的，如果我们因为害怕人而逃离这里真是太羞耻了。如果我们在这里被杀，那么就让我们在这里被杀好了，因为我们正是出于对主的爱才来这里的。”于是他们决定等待着阿拉伯军队的到来，就如同羊羔面对恶狼一样。有的修士死在弓箭之下，有的则被封在萨瓦修道院的洞穴里，并在洞口中放火，他们由此窒息而死。这样，为了基督的爱，很多人殉道，得以进入基督的王国。这些人殉道的时间是公元796年复活节即将来临之际，也是君士坦丁大帝和艾莱尼皇后执政，以及伊利亚担任耶路撒冷牧首的时期。而后，恶人的报应马上就来了，在这些袭击者返回他们的营地时，他们自己互相残杀起来，没有一人生存。这事发生在公元796年。
These holy monks were serving God in a holy manner in the laura of Saint Sabbas when the Arabs attacked them hoping for rich booty in 796. Finding nothing in the laura, they turned their rage against the monks, beheading some, cutting others to pieces, piercing them with their spears, scattering their entrails, and killing them by other different tortures. The barbarians that plundered the monastery were punished by God. They fell victim to a sudden illness, in which they perished all every one, and their bodies became the spoil of wild beasts. It should be noted that the slaughter of the Holy Fathers of Saint Savvas Lavra commemorated on May 16 are different from the above-mentioned Holy Fathers, having suffered in the 7th century, during the reign of Heraclius (610-641) in the year 614.

• WULFRAM (Wolfram, Wulfrannus) 邬尔弗拉穆 Bishop of Sens and Apostolic Missionary in Friseland (703) he worked to enlighten the Frisians, helped by monks from the monastery of Fontenelle. After many years among the Frisians, he returned to Fontenelle where he reposed. His relics are still in Abbeville in the north of France
To the ship's bow he ascended,
By his choristers attended,
Round him were the tapers lighted,
And the sacred incense rose.
On the bow stood Bishop Sigurd,
In his robes as one transfigured,
And the Crucifix he planted. - from The Saga of King Olaf by Longfellow, concerning Wulfram's voyage
Son of an official in the court of King Dagobert. Courtier under Clotaire III. Priest. Benedictine. Archbishop of Sens, France in 682, but in 685 he surrendered his see to Saint Amatus, whom he felt was the rightful bishop. Gave away his lands and evangelized the Frisians in Scandanavia with a group of monks for twenty years, remembered there as the Christian crew who "bore the White Christ" to these people. Converted the son of King Radbod, and was allowed to preach the Gospel. He met with some success, but it was a rough and pagan land. children were sacrificed to heathen gods by hanging or drowning in the sea; people would cast lots at festivals to pick a victim, and the loser was immediately hanged or cut to pieces. Wulfram appealed to King Radbod to stop the slaughter, but the king said it was their custom, and he could not change it. He challenged Wulfram to rescue the victims if he could; Wulfram then waded into the sea to save two children who had been tied to posts and left to die in the rising tide. The turning point in the mission came with the rescue of Ovon. Ovon had been picked by lot to be sacrificed by hanging. Wulfram begged King Radbod to stop the killing, but the commoners were outraged at the sacrilege. Wulfram eventually obtained an agreement that if Wulfram's God saved Ovon's life, Wulfram and the God could have the man. Ovon was hanged, and swung from the rope for two hours, during which Wulfram prayed. When the heathens decided to leave Ovon for dead, the rope broke, Ovon fell - and was alive. Ovon became Wulfram's slave, his follower, a monk, and then a priest at Fontenelle. The faith of the missionaries (and their power to work miracles), frightened and awed the people who turned from their old ways, and were baptized. Even King Radbod converted, but just before his baptism, Radbod asked where his ancestors were. Wulfram told him that idolators went to hell. "I will go to hell with my ancestors," said the King, "rather than be in heaven without them." Later, near death, Radbod sent for Saint Willibrord to baptize him, but died before the saint's arrival. Wulfram's relics were translated from Fontenelle to Abbeville, and in 1062, they were moved to Rouen, France. The life of Wulfram was written by the monk Jonas of Fontenelle eleven years after his death.
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.
