Holy Hieromartyr Ignatius the Godbearer

According to tradition, Saint Ignatius was the little child that Christ held in his arms when He said Whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven [Matthew 18:4]. Ignatius was a disciple of the Holy Apostle and Evangelist John and became the second Bishop of Antioch. He governed the Church as a good shepherd and was the first to introduce antiphonal chanting with two alternating choirs, a method revealed to him by angels. When the Christ-hating Emperor Trajan passed through Antioch, he offered to make Ignatius a senator if only he would sacrifice to idols. Rejecting the blasphemy, Ignatius was shackled and sent to Rome to be thrown to wild beasts. Rejoicing in his suffering for the Lord, the saint prayed that nothing would interfere with his martyrdom. In the arena, the lions tore him to pieces leaving only his heart, upon which the pagans found inscribed in gold the Name: Jesus Christ. Saint Ignatius joined God in the year 107.

Saint Maximus the Confessor

Born in Constantinople in 580, Maximus was a highly educated chief counselor to Emperor Heraclius, who, alarmed by the corrupting influence of heresy, withdrew from the imperial court and became a monk. A gifted theologian and the greatest defender of the Orthodox faith against Monothelitism (the false belief in one will in Christ), Saint Maximus found himself branded an enemy of both the emperor and several patriarchs. With courage in Christ, Maximus endured to the end, proving that there were indeed two wills, as well as two natures, in Christ. Due to the saint's heroic efforts, councils were held in Carthage and in Rome, both anathematizing the teachings of the heretics. The great suffering of Saint Maximus for Orthodoxy cannot be described: he was tortured by princes, deceived by clergy, beaten by soldiers, imprisoned, until finally, with a severed tongue and hand, exiled for life to the land that is now Georgia, where he spent three years in prison and joined the Lord in 662.

Saint Anthony the Great

Known as the father of monasticism, Saint Anthony was an Egyptian born in 250 to wealthy parents. After their death, he split his inheritance with his sister, gave his half to the poor and, at age 20, dedicated himself to the ascetic life. At first he lived near his village but soon withdrew into the wilderness, where he spent 20 years in isolation, seeking God through constant prayer and enduring unspeakable temptations from the enemy. Eventually, many disciples gathered around him and he guided them to salvation by his example and words. In 85 years of monastic life, only twice did he leave the desert and travel to Alexandria: once during the persecution in an attempt to join the martyrs, and once at the request of Saint Athanasius, in order to publicly condemn the Arian heresy. Though not a scholar, Anthony was a teacher and counselor of the most learned men of his time. Saint Anthony reposed in the Lord in the year 335 AD at the age of 105, leaving behind an army of disciples.

Saint Nina, Enlightener of Georgia

Saint Nina was born in the third century, kin to Saint George the Great Martyr. Raised by an elderly woman after her parents became monastics, Nina heard of how the Savior's robe had arrived in a land of pagans. The Mother of God appeared to Nina, told her to go to that land and bring the people to Christ, and gave Nina a cross made from grapevine for protection. Nina received a blessing from her uncle, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, and journeyed to the land now known as Georgia, narrowly escaping martyrdom at the hands of Diocletian on the way. Arriving in the pagan land, the virgin brought idols crashing down through her prayers, taught the Christian Faith everywhere, healed and baptized the queen Nana and eventually King Mirian, their son Bakar, and all the royal court. Nina found the place where the robe of Christ was hidden and on that spot the first Christian church in Georgia was built. After a life of amazing apostolic devotion, Saint Nina peacefully reposed in 335.

Word of her ascetic deeds spread quickly throughout the vicinity, and many pious women and girls came to live under her guidance. Saint Syncletica zealously instructed her sisters through both word and action.

20,000 Holy Martyrs of Nicomedia

In 302, during the reign of Maximian, the Christian Faith flourished in Nicomedia, increasing day by day. Embittered, the emperor conceived a plan to kill all the Christians. On the eve of the Feast of the Nativity when all the faithful had gathered, soldiers surrounded the church, not allowing anyone to leave. The emperor's herald announced that they were all to immediately offer sacrifice to idols or be burned alive. The archdeacon, inflamed with divine zeal began to encourage the people, reminding them of the Three Holy Youths in the furnace in Babylon. None of the Christians would deny Christ. All the catechumens were baptized and chrismated and everyone was communed with the Holy Mysteries. The soldiers set fire to the church and 20,000 Christians were burned in the flames while singing praises to God. The church burned for five days; smoke with a wonderful and intoxicating fragrance rose from it and a marvelous, golden light shone over the site of the mass martyrdom.

Holy Protomartyr Stephen

Saint Stephen was the first Christian martyr and a kinsman of the Apostle Paul. One of the seven deacons ordained by the Holy Apostles, Stephen worked great miracles through his faith. Filled with the Holy Spirit, he daringly preached the Christian Way and defeated the jewish teachers of the Law, for which they falsely accused him of blasphemy. Saint Stephen stood before the people and all saw his face illumined with the light of Grace. In a fiery speech, he boldly denounced the jews for persecuting the prophets and murdering Jesus Christ. As he spoke, Stephen saw the heavens open and beheld the Glory of God (Acts 7:56). Then the jews dragged the holy martyr out of the city and stoned him to death while he prayed for them. The Mother of God, along with the Holy Apostle John, stood on a rock in the distance and witnessed this first martyrdom for the Truth of her Son and God, and she prayed for Saint Stephen. This occurred one year after the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles.

After two years of obedience, constant prayer and austere fasting, he was tonsured into the angelic schema with the name Nikiforos. A master chanter, the contrast between his heavenly voice and his face, disfigured by lesions, frightened some. With endless patience and love for his neighbor, the saint was blessed with gifts of prophesy and consolation. Crowds gathered at his cell seeking his prayers and many miracles occurred toward the end of his life. Though his body was completely distorted by leprosy, he always smiled and praised God.

Holy Virgin Martyr Juliana and 630 Martyrs with her

Juliana was born to a pagan family in third century Nicomedia. She had a profound intellect and goodness of soul, seeing through the delusion of the pagan faith and secretly accepting holy baptism. As a child, Juliana was betrothed to Eleusius, the eparch of the city, but when the time of marriage approached, she revealed that she was a Christian and could not marry him unless he accepted Christ. Refusing to change her mind, Juliana was viciously whipped before a large crowd, but after each beating she was miraculously healed and gained new strength from God. Witnessing the steadfastness and courage of the holy virgin healed from her wounds, 500 men and 130 women confessed Christ. They were all beheaded and baptized in their own blood. Juliana was sentenced to death, which she accepted with joy and glorified the Lord for allowing her to receive a martyr's crown. Eleusius was later shipwrecked and swam to an island where he was torn to pieces by wild dogs.
