Ὁ Ἅγιος Νίκων ὁ Ἱερομάρτυρας καὶ οἱ ἑκατὸν ἐνενήκοντα μαθητές του
司祭殉道者，圣尼肯
尼肯出生于那不勒斯，父亲是异教徒，母亲是基督徒。他的母亲暗地里背着她的丈夫向儿子传讲基督的福音，但是作为驻那不勒斯的罗马指挥官的尼肯仍没有接受浸礼。有一次，尼肯同他的部队受命前往战场，他的母亲告诉他说，在遇到危险的时候要划十字，并请求基督的拯救。确实，在战场上尼肯的军队被全部包围，尼肯在他的心中作了十字并呼求基督。立即他被一种不同寻常的力量充满，追赶敌人。一些敌人被他杀死，另一些敌人仓惶逃跑。在凯旋回来的时候，尼肯依然情绪高涨，赞叹不已：“基督徒的上帝是真神！”这使得他的母亲倍感欣慰，在基督十字架的帮助下，他获得了胜利；尼肯之后偷偷地扬帆出海前往亚洲，在那里，他接受了西吉库斯的主教德奥多西的浸礼；之后，尼肯隐居到一座修道院中，在那里潜心修行。德奥多西在临终前的异象中得到启示：任命尼肯为他的继任者。年迈的德奥多西立即叫来尼肯，任命他为辅祭，之后为司祭，最后是主教。根据上帝的天意，不久之后尼肯来到了那不勒斯，发现了他的母亲仍活着。在他的母亲去世之后，他先前在部队中的9名战友成了他的弟子，而后他们纷纷前往西西里，在那里传讲基督的福音。当时正值一场可怕的对基督徒的迫害运动。坤仟努斯王子逮捕了尼肯和他的9名弟子，对他们施以酷刑。他的190名弟子和以前的那些战友都遭到了斩首。他们将尼肯栓在马尾巴上，并从峭壁上被仍到了深山峡谷中；他们鞭打他，割刮他的皮肤，但是尼肯仍没有被折磨死。最后，他也遭到了斩首，得以进行基督的国都。他的遗体被放在田地里，任飞鸟啄食。一个被魔鬼附身的牧羊人被他的尸体绊倒，但是却奇迹般地恢复了健康。这个牧羊人讲述了尼肯的尸体，一些基督徒收敛了他的身体，荣耀地进行了埋葬。尼肯遭受磨难期间正值德西乌斯皇帝在位期间。
• MM DOMITIUS, PELAGIA, AQUILA, EPARCHIUS & THEODOSIA (361)
Saint Domitius was a Phrygian who was martyred by Julian the Apostate, probably at Caesarea in Palestine. It is possible that he is the unnamed martyred in the acta of Saint Basil of Ancrya. He publicly attacked the public entertainments in the circus, which were dedicated to the heathen gods.

• MM VICTORIAN a former pro-consul in Africa, FRUMENTIUS, FRUMENTIUS and COMPANION of 4 wealthy merchants (484) martyred in Hadrumetum under King Hunneric for refusing to become Arians
Tell the king that I trust in Christ. His Majesty may condemn me to any torments, but I shall never consent to renounce the Catholic Church, in which I have been baptized. Even if there were no life after this, I would never be ungrateful and perfidious to God, who has granted me the happiness of knowing Him, and bestowed on me His most precious graces. - Saint Victorian in response Huneric's offer to support Arianism
• MM LIBERAT a physician, his wife, and children and Companions (484) exiled by the Vandals under Hunneric
Saint Liberat, who was a physician, his wife, and children were exiled by the Vandals under Hunneric. When they had been arrested, their infant children were taken from them. His wife stemmed his tears by saying: "Think no more of them, Jesus Christ himself will take care of them, and protect their souls." While in prison she was told by the heretics that her husband had conformed. For this reason, when she met him at their trial, scolded him in open court for having abandoned God. He told her that their tormentors had lied in an attempt to persuade her to do likewise. Twelve young children, when dragged away by the persecutors, held their companions by the knees till they were torn away by violence. They were beaten and scourged daily for a long time; yet by God's grace every one of them persevered until they were allowed to escape into exile.
• MM FELIX, FIDELIS and 19 Companions (5th c.) in North Africa
This group of 21 martyrs may have suffered in the same Vandal persecution as Saint Victorian and Companions. All that is certain is that they died in Africa.
• VM PIALA (Ciara, Phiala or Phillack) of Penwith (Pen-dinas) and M FINGAR (Gwingar, Gwinnear or Guigner) of Hayle (5th c.) beheaded c.460 at Hayle, Cornwall, England
Son of the pagan King Clito of Ireland. When Saint Patrick arrived at Clito's court, the king was hostile; Gwinear recognized Patrick‘s sincerity and piety, treated him well, and meditated on his message. Convert to Christianity. Hermit. Upon his father‘s death, he returned home, gathered 770 other converts, and worked to spread the faith in Wales and Brittany. Miracle worker. Martyr. The Cornish village of Gwinear is named for him. At Pluvigner there is a stained glass window of Gwinear hunting a stag with a cross between its antlers, and there is a holy well with his name near the church.

• CIANNAIT (Ciannat or Kianat)
• DISMAS (Rakh) the Penitent Thief on the right hand of Christ
The Gospel of Luke describes one asking Jesus to "remember him" when Jesus will have "come into" his kingdom. He is commemorated in a traditional Eastern Orthodox prayer said before receiving the eucharist: "I will not speak of Thy Mystery to Thine enemies, neither like Judas will I give Thee a kiss; but like the thief will I confess Thee: Remember me, O Lord in Thy Kingdom." The other, as the impenitent thief, asks Jesus why he cannot save himself. The name "Dismas" was adapted from a Greek word meaning "sunset" or "death". The other thief's name is given as Gestas.

希腊圣人传记和《圣山阿托斯的圣徒传》，在这一天也纪念出生于杰德伦的殉道者路喀。早在幼年时他就在君士坦丁堡被土耳其人实行了割礼。由此，路喀深感痛苦。他将这割礼当成是魔鬼强加于他的印记，只有通过为基督殉道才能消除它。他在阿托斯圣山剪发成了一名修士，并同他的长老贝萨里昂一同前往梅利泰内，并在那里于公元1802年3月23日被土耳其人吊死。他的尸体悬挂在空中，但是从他的遗体中散发出芳香的圣油。

Ὁ Ὅσιος Νίκων καθηγούμενος τῆς Λαύρας τῶν Σπηλαίων τοῦ Κιέβου
基辅洞穴修道院的尼肯
尼肯是在洞穴修道院修行的圣安托尼的同伴，也是可敬的德奥多西的忏悔神父。因为为伯亚•巴拉姆和太监艾弗冷进行剪发进入修道生活的仪式，由此尼肯受到了王子伊兹亚斯拉夫的威胁。但是王子的妻子将对王子的怒火转变成了对上帝的畏惧。圣尼肯则得以平安。为了用圣像装点教堂，尼肯向上帝求助。在他的祷告之下，一些希腊的圣像画家从君士坦丁堡来到了基辅。因为圣安托尼和圣德奥多西曾向这些圣像画家显现，指使他们前往基辅。尼肯因其刻苦修行和属灵的智慧而受到赞美。在他年迈的时候，他成了佩切尔修道院院长，但这并不是他的意愿。尼肯于公元1066年得以安息主怀。他那不朽的圣体在基辅的洞穴修道院得以保存。
Saint Nikon of the Kiev Caves was the first disciple and fellow-ascetic of Saint Anthony (July 10), the founder of the Kiev Caves monastery, to which he came as a priest. At the monastery he tonsured all the new monks, and among their number was Saint Theodosius of the Caves (May 3 and August 14).
