• Commemoration of Discovery of Relics of Sts PATRICK, BRIGID and COLUM-CILLE (12th c.)
The relics of the three saints escaped the fury of the Danes, who burned the town and pillaged the cathedral six or seven times, between the years 940 and 1111. In 1177, John de Courcy took possession of the town, and founded a church attached to a house of Secular Canons, under the invocation of the Blessed Trinity. In 1183 they were replaced by a community of Benedictine monks, from St Wirburgh's Abbey, at Chester. It seems strange, that while the relics of the three great Irish Patrons had been kept with such religious veneration in the Cathedral Church of Downpatrick, for a long lapse of ages, that in the twelfth century the place of their deposition within it was forgotten. It would appear, that the Northmen frequently attacked, plundered, and burned that town. It is probable, that the sacred remains had been buried in the earth, to preserve them from profanation, and that the secret place of their deposition had been confided to only a few of the ecclesiastics, who perished through violence, or who had not been able to return afterwards, to indicate that exact spot, in which they had been laid. For a long time, the bishops, clergy and people of Down lamented this loss, until about the year 1185. One night, while engaged at prayer within the cathedral, Malachy observed a supernatural light, resembling a sunbeam, passing through the church and settling over a certain spot. Accordingly, these being procured, beneath that illuminated place, the bodies of the three great saints were found; the body of St Patrick occupied a central compartment, while the remains of St Bngid and of St Columba were placed on either side. With great rejoicing, he disinterred the bodies of those illustrious saints, and he placed them in three separate coffins. He then had them deposited in the same spot, whence they had been taken, and he took care to have the site exactly noted. In fine, the bones of St Columkille were buried with great honour and veneration, in the one place with those of St Patrick and of St Brigid, within Dun-da-lethgles or Downpatrick cathedral, in Ulster. The restoration of the old abbey-church was undertaken of late years, and preceded by an act of desecration, which is still remembered with horror. The church had been surrounded by a burying-ground, where many had wished to repose, that they might, even in death, be near the relics of the three great patron saints of Erinn. But the graves were exhumed without mercy, and many were obliged to carry away the bones of their relatives, and deposit them where they could. The "great tomb", in which it was believed that "Patrick, Brigid, and Columkille" had slept for more than six centuries, was not spared; the remains were flung out into the churchyard, and only saved from further desecration by the piety of a faithful people.

可敬的匝哈利亚
匝哈利亚的父亲卡里昂是埃及人。匝哈利亚离开了他的妻子和孩子成了一名修士。他将父亲也带到了修道院，因为他的母亲没有能力照顾他的父亲。尽管匝哈利亚在修道院中是年纪最小的，但是他却获得了比其他人更多的恩典。他感觉他被上帝所赋予的恩典点燃了。有一次圣玛喀里问道：“谁是最理想的修士？”匝哈利亚回答说：“是那些不断鞭策自己履行上帝诫令的人。”圣父摩伊息斯问道：“成为修士意味着什么？”匝哈利亚取下了他自己的头巾，然后将其踩在地上，而后说：“谁要是不能忍受这种羞辱就不能成为一名修士。”匝哈利亚确实是在旷野中的修士们的一盏明灯，他在英年时期就安息了。
His father, Carion the Egyptian, forsook his family to become a monk, taking Zacharias with him. Though very young, Zacharias manifested gifts of grace rarely seen among the elders of Sketis. Abba Moses once asked him, "What does it mean to be a monk?", to which Zacharias replied by taking off his hat and treading it underfoot, saying "If a man be not so broken, he cannot be a monk."After shining as a great light among the holy monks of Scetis, he reposed at a young age.
• Venerable ZACHARIAH 匝哈里亚 the Faster of the Kiev Caves (13th c.)
Ὁ Ὅσιος Ζαχαρίας ὁ ἐν τῇ Λαύρᾳ τοῦ Κιέβου ἀσκήσας
Saint Zachariah the Faster of the Caves was an ascetic in the Far Caves in the 13-14th centuries. He fasted so strictly that he ate nothing baked nor boiled, and he consumed only greens once a day at the setting of the sun. Demons trembled at the mere mention of his name. Often the monk saw angels, with which he deserved to live in Heaven. Before his death, John had transferred his property to his friend Sergius. This was when the igumen was Saint Nikon (March 23). Zachariah was 5 years old at the time. At age 15, i.e., not later than the year 1098, he obtained his inheritance from Sergius, in order to give it to the monastery. However, Saint Zachariah the Faster of the Caves lived approximately 200 years later.
Ἀνάμνηση Θαύματος ἐν τῇ Λαύρᾳ τῶν Σπηλαίων τοῦ Κιέβου
基辅洞窟修道院 发生的奇迹
约安和塞尔吉是同伴，他们在基辅洞窟修道院 的圣母像前起誓结为兄弟。约安家境富裕，并有一个5岁的儿子匝哈利亚。后来约安病了。在他临终前，他将自己的儿子托付给塞尔吉，并将一大笔金子和银子留给了塞尔吉，让他保存起来，等到他的儿子匝哈利亚长大之后再交给他。当匝哈利亚长大成人之后，塞尔吉却失口否认他从约安那里收到过任何东西。而后匝哈利亚说：“让他来到当初同我父亲约安一同起誓的圣母像前来发誓，如果他发誓说没有从我父亲约安那里收到过任何东西，我也就作罢了。”塞尔吉同意了。当塞尔吉发誓时，他想靠近并敬拜圣像，但是一个无形的力量阻止他不能前行。塞尔吉开始向圣父安托尼和德奥多西疯狂大叫：“不要让这无情的天使毁掉我！”这就是在上帝的允许下魔鬼在攻击他。之后，塞尔吉将约安委托他保管的金银都交了出来。他们打开了箱子，里面的金银增加了一倍。在上帝的天意下，这财产增加了一倍。匝哈利亚将这些财产交给了修道院，然后自己剪发成了一名修士。匝哈利亚高龄之际才去世，得以获得上帝的恩典，并进入永生的国都。
Two friends, John and Sergius, swore brotherhood before the icon of the holy Mother of God in this monastery. John was a rich man, with a 5 year old son, Zachariah. John fell ill, and at his death commended his son to the care of Sergius, and left in Sergius' keeping a large sum of silver and gold for him to hand over to Zachariah when he had grown up. When Zachariah came of age, however, Sergius denied receiving anything from the deceased John. Then Zachariah said: "Let him swear before the same icon of the most holy Mother of God, in front of which he accepted brotherhood with my late father, that he received nothing from John, and then I will seek nothing more from him." Sergius agreed, but when he had sworn this and went up to kiss the icon, some force held him back and would not allow him to come near then, tormented all at once by a demon, he began to cry out: "Holy fathers Antony and Theodosius, do not let this merciless angel destroy me!" The demon had attacked him by God's permission. He then told them of all the money which John had left. But when they opened the box, they found double the amount. Taking it, Zachariah gave it to the monastery and was himself tonsured as a monk. He lived a long time and was worthy of God's great gifts, entering peacefully into eternity.
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.
