BRIGHT TUESDAY
Bright Week or Renewal Week (in Greek: Διακαινήσιμος εβδομάδα, Diakainisimos) is the first week following the Resurrection of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, which is celebrated each year at Pascha. It ends the following Sunday, the Sunday of St. Thomas. For Orthodox Christians Bright Week begins a period of celebration that continues for fifty days until Pentecost. This celebration includes the practice of the faithful joyously greeting each other with the salutation of Christ is risen, followed by the response indeed He is risen or truly He is risen, as the whole of creation is renewed by Our Lord and Savior. The services of Bright Week are done with the Royal Doors fully open. This unblocked view of the altar symbolizes the open door of Christ's empty tomb as well as the rent veil of the Jewish Temple, which was torn apart at the moment Christ died. The entire week is considered to be one continuous day and the main reason why fasting is completely prohibited to all Orthodox during the week.
• The Appearance of the Hodegetria "IVERON" Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos Panagia PORTAITISSA // MOVABLE HOLIDAY ON THE TUESDAY OF THE BRIGHT WEEK //
Παναγία Πορταΐτισσα
According to the Orthodox Church's Sacred Tradition, the icon was at one time in the possession of a widow in Nicaea. Not wanting the icon to be seized and destroyed by the iconoclasts, she spent all night in prayer and then cast the icon into the Mediterranean Sea. The widow's son later went to Mount Athos, where he became a monk and recounted the miracle of the bleeding wound, and how the icon had been placed in the sea. Much later, (1004) the icon was recovered from the sea by a Georgian monk named Gabriel (later canonized a saint in the Orthodox Church), who was laboring at the Iveron Monastery on Mount Athos. This occurred on Tuesday of Bright Week (Easter Week), and is commemorated annually on that day (as well as the fixed date of March 31). The icon was taken to the katholikon (main church) of the monastery from which the icon gets its name. The tradition goes on to say that the following day, when the monks entered the church they could not find the icon. After searching they discovered the icon hanging on the gates of the monastery. This occurrence was repeated several times, until St. Gabriel reported that he had seen a vision of the Theotokos, wherein she revealed that she did not want her icon to be guarded by the monks, but rather she intended to be their Protectress. After this, the icon was permanently installed above the monastery gates, where it remains to this day. Because of this, the icon came to be called Portaitissa or "Gate-Keeper". This title was not new for the Virgin Mary, but comes from a verse of the Akathist to the Mother of God: "Rejoice, O Blessed Gate-Keeper who opens the gates of Paradise to the righteous." Orthodox monks and nuns throughout the world will often place an icon of the Theotokos Iverskaya on the monastery gates. It is also common in Orthodox temples (church buildings) to place an icon of the Theotokos Portaitissa on the inside of the iconostasis, above the Holy Doors, looking towards the Holy Table (altar table).
The synaxis (feast day) for this icon is on February 12, as well as on Bright Tuesday, and also on October 13 for the translation to Moscow of the Iveron icon.
• The Myrrh-streaming Icon of the IVERON Mother of God // FEB 12/25 // BRIGHT TUESDAY // OCT 13/26 // NOV 11/24 "MONTREAL" ICON //
The Iveron Icon, which at present is preserved in a monastery on Athos, by tradition was painted by the Apostle and Evangelist Luke. In November 1982, a copy of the Iveron Icon of the Mother God began to stream myrrh in Canada. In 1983, the Icon was in Washington for the first time, and I then asked its guardian - the Spaniard José Muñoz - how he had received the Holy Object, and when it had begun to stream myrrh. For the fifteen years (1982-1997), as myrrh continued to flow from the Icon, Brother Jose Muñoz-Cortes devoted himself to its care, accompanying it on numerous trips to parishes all over the United States and Canada, to South America, Australia, and Europe. A new Copy of the Montreal Myrrh-Streaming Iveron Icon began streaming Myrrh at the Russian Orthodox Church in Hawaii in 2007. Several feast days during the liturgical year celebrate a few of these miracles.
Glory be to Our Lord Jesus Christ for manifesting through Jose, the least of His servants, the wonder-working Iveron Icon of the Mother of God!
Rejoice, Keeper of the Portal most gracious, who dost open to the faithful the doors of Paradise.
• "SHUISKY" Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos // BRIGHT TUESDAY // JUL 28 //
The Shuisk-Smolensk Wonderworking Icon of the Mother of God was written in the years 1654-1655 in the Resurrection parish of the city of Shui, where at the time raged an unrelenting pestilence. Hoping on the mercy of God and the intercession of the Mother of God, the parishioners of the Resurrection [Voskresensk] church commissioned a certain pious monk to write the image of the Smolensk Mother of God, – from of old being a rescuer of the Russian people from enemies and misfortune. The whole week while the image was being written was spent by the parishioners in prayer and fasting. When the icon was finished, the priest and the people took it to the church and set it in a specially built place. From that time the pestilence began to ease, at first in the locale of the Voskresensk parish, and then also in all the city. From the Icon of the mother of God set up in the church were done many miracles of healing, especially of eye diseases.

Ὁ Ἅγιος Συμεὼν ὁ Ἱερομάρτυρας Ἐπίσκοπος Περσίδος καὶ οἱ σὺν αὐτῷ Μαρτυρήσαντες
Ὁ Ἅγιος Φουσὶκ ὁ Μάρτυρας καὶ ἡ θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ
Ὁ Ἅγιος Ἀζὰτ ὁ Εὐνοῦχος
司祭殉道者圣西麦翁，波斯的主教
在邪恶的波斯王萨波尔在位期间，西麦翁同他的两个长老奥乌德尔和阿纳尼亚斯为基督的缘故同遭折磨。皇帝的太监乌斯塔赞早先否认了基督，但后来在圣西麦翁的训斥下受到了感动，在皇帝面前再次表白了自己的正确信仰。另外其他一千多名基督徒也同西麦翁一起被带到刑场。西麦翁希望自己最后一个被斩首，这样能够鼓励其他基督徒坚持到底，由此他一直溜在队伍的最后面，因此，没有一个基督徒因为害怕死亡而动摇。当长老阿纳尼亚斯将他的头放在断头台上时，他的全身不禁颤抖起来。秘密地隐藏了基督徒身份的皇帝朝中的文官福斯克开始鼓励阿纳尼亚斯说：“长老，不要害怕，闭上你的眼睛，勇敢一些，你将会看到神圣的光。”在福斯克说这些话时，他被认出了是一个基督徒，于是被带到皇帝前遭到指控。在经过长时间的折磨之后，福斯克同他的女儿阿斯凯特利亚一同被处死。之后，圣西麦翁看到他的信众一一前往了天国，于是最后一个被斩首。第二年的大星期五，皇帝的爱臣阿扎特（乌斯塔赞）同其他一千多名信徒为基督而殉道。之后皇帝为屠杀自己的太监而感到懊悔，于是停止了对基督徒的杀戮。这些基督徒于公元341年和公元344年为基督而荣耀殉道。
The Holy Symeon was bishop of the royal cities of Seleucia and Ctesiphon in Persia, during a great persecution under King Sapor II. The king had been incited by (Zoroastrian) Magi jealous of the growth of the Faith in their territory, and by some Jews living in Persia. The king was already displeased with the holy bishop: his eunuch, Ustazan, a secret Christian, had denied Christ, but when reprimanded by Symeon, had confessed the Faith before the King, for which he was executed. On Holy Friday of 343 Symeon, along with at least a hundred other servants of the Church, was sent out to be slain. Symeon exhorted each to be of good courage, and was himself slain last. One year later, again on Holy Friday, the King's eunuch Azat was executed for Christ, along with a great number of the faithful. It is said that more than 1 000 Christians died as martyrs during this persecution.

• Uncovering (1641) of the relics of Venerable Abbot ALEXANDER 亚历山大 of Svir (1533) // APR 17 // AUG 30 //
Μετακομιδὴ Τιμίων Λειψάνων Ὁσίου Ἀλεξάνδρου τοῦ ἐκ Ρωσίας
Saint Alexander of Svir died on August 30, 1533. His incorrupt relics were uncovered in 1641 during the reconstruction of the Transfiguration cathedral. The incorrupt relics of the saint were removed from the Svir Monastery by the Bolsheviks on December 20, 1918 after several unsuccessful attempts to confiscate them. There was an infamous campaign to liquidate the relics of the saints which continued from 1919 to 1922. Many relics of Russsian saints were stolen and subjected to “scientific examination” or displayed in antireligious museums. Some were completely destroyed. Hoping to prove that the relics were fakes, the Soviets conducted many tests. However, the tests only confirmed that the relics were genuine. Finally, the holy relics were sent to Petrograd’s Military Medical Academy. There they remained for nearly eighty years. A second uncovering of Saint Alexander’s relics took place in December 1997. The relics were found to be incorrupt, just as they were when they were confiscated. The saint’s appearance matched the description in the records from 1641. Once it was determined that these were in fact the relics of Saint Alexander, Metropolitan Vladimir of Saint Petersburg permitted them to be taken to the church of Saint Sophia and her three daughters Faith, Hope, and Love (September 17) for four months before their return to the Svir Monastery. As people venerated Saint Alexander’s relics they noticed a fragrant myrrh flowing from them. The holy relics were taken to the Saint Alexander of Svir Monastery in November 1998, and miraculous healings continue to take place before them.
