Saint Serapion the Sindonite
An Egyptian monk in the 5th century, Saint Serapion was well educated and knew Scripture by heart. God called him not to live in solitude in a cell but to live like the birds, with no roof and no cares, traveling here and there. With Gospels in hand, he wore only a sindon, or linen loincloth, but then he gave that to a helpless man who was shivering cold. Asked why he was naked, he indicated the Gospels and said This! Then he gave away the Gospels in return for money he gave to a man hounded by creditors. In Greece, he sold himself as a slave to some actors, serving them for a long time, eating only bread and water and speaking Scripture, until they became Christians and left the stage. Then he gave them their money back and left. Once he spent the night with a prostitute, reading her the entire Psalter. She finally fell down weeping in repentance and he took her to a monastery where she served God for the rest of her life. Saint Serapion reposed in peace and was buried in Rome.

Saint Cuthbert, Wonderworker of Britain
Born in Northumbria in 635 and raised in Scotland, Cuthbert was a shepherd in his youth. One night tending his flock, he saw a vision of Saint Aidan of Lindisfarne being taken to heaven in a fiery sphere. Learning that Aidan had indeed died that night, he went to the monastery of Melrose and became a monk. He spent all night in prayer and went days without food. He was chosen as abbot and guided his brothers with great wisdom, humility, and kindness. A monastic missionary, he brought the Gospel to isolated villages and worked many miracles of healing and drove out demons. As abbot of Lindisfarne, he brought new order to the Holy Island and then, seeking isolation, settled on a more remote island. Elected bishop against his will, the king pleaded with him to accept. He did, but refused all finery and continued to minister to the common people. After his repose in 687, Saint Cuthbert's relics remained incorrupt for 1000 years until they were desecrated by protestants.

Saint John of the Ladder
A great ascetic of the 6th century and author of The Ladder of Divine Ascent, Saint John went to the monastery at Mount Sinai when he was 16. After four years, he was tonsured as a monk and spent 19 years under obedience to Abba Martyrios. After the death of his spiritual father, John withdrew into a cave, where he spent 40 years in deeds of silence, fasting, prayer and tears of penitence. Gifted with wisdom, wonderworking, and a deeply penetrating mind, he lovingly received all who came to him, guiding them toward salvation. Once, hearing an envious criticism that he spoke too much, in humility he ceased speaking for a year. At 75, he became abbot and wrote his instructional book at the request of the monks. Thus he constructed a ladder of ascent... from the earthly to the holy, a spiritual manual that has assisted Christians for one and a half millennia. The Ladder is traditionally read in monasteries during lenten meals and Saint John is commemorated on the 4th Sunday of Lent.

Saint Edward the Martyr, King of England
Anointed at 13 after his father King Edgar died in 975, young Edward lived a holy life and loved God and the Church above all things. A champion of the Faith of Christ, he was called a vessel full of every virtuous grace. Edward faced an uprising of violent attacks on the monasteries - stirred up by nobles who coveted their land. Many monasteries were destroyed and monks were forced to flee. Edward steadfastly defended the Church and the monastics and for this he was killed in a most treacherous manner: offered a cup of mead, given a Judas kiss, and then stabbed. From the evening of his death, miracles surrounded the saint's body. The stream into which he fell became healing waters, a pillar of fire rose over the bog where he was secretly buried, his remains were found to be incorrupt and exuded a heavenly fragrance, countless healings took place. In the 16th century, Saint Edward's relics were hidden to avoid desecration by protestants and were recovered in 1931.

Saint Symeon the New Theologian
Born in Galatia in 949, Symeon was 14 when he met his spiritual father - an elder who taught him prayer and asceticism. Serving in the imperial court but devoted to union with God, young Symeon fulfilled his earthly duties by day and kept vigil by night. A vision during prayer - divine light flooding him with radiant brilliance - inspired a life of seeking and teaching direct experience with God. Symeon became a monk at Saint Mamas monastery, renouncing his own will, attaining to high vigilance, and eventually serving as abbot for 25 years. The intense discipline he sought for the brotherhood led to a rebellion against him and he was nearly killed. Leaving the monastery, Symeon composed his theological works, expressed in homilies, lessons, and hymns. Though his sublime teachings were controversial in his own time - leading even to exile by the patriarch - they are now honored to the degree that Saint Symeon is one of only three saints given the title Theologian by the Church.

40 Holy Martyrs of Sebaste
In 320, forty Roman soldiers, all devout Christians, were imprisoned and taken to trial for refusing to worship idols. Threatened with deranking, they announced they would prefer bodily death over the eternal death of renouncing Christ. Condemned to execution by stoning, the stones would not hit them but returned back; one smashed the commander's teeth. They were thrown into an icy lake to suffer, with guards keeping watch. A sauna was built on the shore to tempt the soldiers with warmth if only they would apostatize. Night fell and the lake began to freeze. One of them fled the lake and immediately dropped dead. A light shone down from the heavens, miraculously warming the water and golden crowns appeared over the heads of the saints. Seeing this, one of the guards proclaimed Christ, removed his uniform, and ran into the lake to join the martyrs and a crown descended onto his head. Shocked to see the saints alive in the morning, the torturers broke their bones and drowned them.
