Haralampus of Magnesia - The holy, glorious, right-victorious martyr Charalampus (or Haralambos) was a priest (Greek tradition) or bishop (Russian tradition) in the city of Magnesia in Thessaly during the late second and early third century. He was martyred, having openly preached the Gospel during persecutions during the reign of Alexander Severus (222-235), when Lucian was Proconsul of Magnesia. His feast is commemorated on February 10.
Saints Cosmas and Damianos - Saints Cosmas and Damianos the Holy Martyrs, Wonderworkers and Unmercenary Physicians, who were born in Rome, brothers by birth, and physicians by profession. They suffered at Rome in the reign of the emperor Carinus (283-284). Brought up by their parents in the rules of piety, they led strict and chaste lives, and they were granted by God the gift of healing the sick. By their generosity and exceptional kindness to all, the brothers converted many to Christ. The brothers told the sick, “It is not by our own power that we treat you, but by the power of Christ, the true God. Believe in Him and be healed.” Since they accepted no payment for their treatment of the infirm, the holy brothers were called “unmercenary physicians.”
Saint Anastasia Pharmakolitria - Saint Anastasia Pharmakolitria, Saint Protector of poison and other harmful substances. The Great Martyr Anastasia the “Deliverer from Potions”, also Anastasia the Healer or Anastasia of Sirmium was martyred in Sirmium (Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia), and is known by the Greek term “the Pharmakolitria “since she has long been venerated by the church as a healer and exorcist. Greek Orthodox Church commemorates Saint Anastasia On December 22nd.
St John the Baptist and Forerunner of Christ - St John the Baptist and Forerunner of Christ also known as the 'Forerunner of Christ' from the Greek 'Prothromos', meaning the one 'going (running) ahead'. John's conception, birth, life, and death, have all been extraordinary. His recognition as a prophet is surpassed only by his name as Christ's Baptist by which name he has survived in the history of Christianity. The importance of St. John the Baptist is shown by the fact that the Orthodox Church has decreed a strict fast on the day on his death, August 29. In Byzantine iconography he is depicted as an ascetic preacher carrying a staff and a scroll with the words, 'Behold the Lamb of God'. He is also depicted wearing the wings of a messenger thus signifying his role as the one 'who came before Christ' (Prothromos). The place of his icon on the Orthodox iconostasis is adjacent to that of Christ. Feast days commemorating St John the Baptist are January 7, June 24, and August 29.
David of Euboea - Our Venerable and God-bearing Father David of Euboea, also David the Elder ca.1480 - ca.1589, is a Saint and Wonderworker of Ottoman Greece. His feast day is celebrated by the Orthodox Church on November 1.
Jesus Christ - Our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ is the incarnate Second Person of the Holy Trinity, the only begotten Son of God, fully God and fully man, born in time of the Virgin Mary and begotten from before all time of God the Father.
The Virgin Mary - The Virgin Mary is the Theotokos, the mother of Jesus Christ, the Son and Word of God. She conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. She was cared for by her betrothed husband, Joseph, who took the child and his mother into his home as his own. One very strong tradition in the Orthodox Church holds that the birth of Jesus was also miraculous and left Mary's virginity intact as a sign; it is also the tradition of the Church that Joseph and Mary did not have relations after the birth of Jesus. She is also called Panagia, the "All-Holy," indicating her closeness to God in her obedience. The title Theotokos (in Greek, Θεοτόκος) is a Greek word that means "God-bearer" or "Birth-giver to God." The Annunciation to the Theotokos is celebrated on March 25. The Dormition of the Theotokos (Falling Asleep) of the Theotokos is celebrated on August 15.
Saint Nina - Saint Nina - Icons of St. Nina are written with her holding her grapevine cross, the pledge of her relationship with the Theotokos. St. Nina is called Equal-to-the-Apostles because she preached the gospel in Georgia. Since the 17th century, iconographic tradition has revealed the scroll which she received in her second vision. Her title, her cross, and her scroll are the manifestations of her working with God to spread His word and to bring into His fold a new land. Greek Orthodox Church commemorates St. Nina On January 14th.
Saint Demetrius of Thessaloniki - The holy, glorious and right-victorious Great-martyr (Greek: Μεγαλομάρτυς) Demetrius of Thessaloniki the Myrrh-streamer (Greek Μυροβλήτης) (also Demetrios) is one of the most popular saints in the Orthodox world. He was martyred around the year 306 in Thessalonica, and his cult rapidly grew during the Middle Ages, when he was regarded as the first recognized patron and protector of the city, militarily as well as spiritually. His feast day is celebrated on October 26. The Serbian Orthodox Church commemorates the Saint as a Mitar having a feast of Mitrovan on November 8.
Saint Paraskevi - The holy and glorious Virgin-Martyr Saint Paraskevi (also Paraskeva) was arrested during the reign of the Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius (r. A.D. 138-161) under the penalty of refusing to worship idols and adhering to the state pagan religion. After enduring many tortures, she was eventually released by the emperor, continuing to profess Christ. She was eventually tortured and beheaded by the Roman governor Tarasius in the year 180. The Church commemorates her on July 26.
