Holy Apostle James, the Brother of God

Saint James was the son of Joseph the Betrothed of the Most Holy Theotokos. He was a Nazarene, a man especially dedicated to God. The Nazarenes preserved their virginity, abstained from wine, refrained from eating meat, and did not cut their hair. When Jesus Christ began to teach about the Kingdom of God, his brother James became His apostle. Saint James was chosen as the first Bishop of Jerusalem and presided over the Council of Jerusalem. He composed a Divine Liturgy and one of his epistles is preserved as a book of the New Testament. In his thirty years as bishop, James brought many Jews to Christ. Furious about this multitude of conversions, the Pharisees and Scribes plotted to kill him. The jewish leaders threw Saint James off the roof of the Jerusalem Temple. He did not die immediately, but gathered his final strength and prayed to the Lord for his enemies while they stoned him to death. Saint James was martyred in 63 AD.

Saint John of Kronstadt

Saint John was a married priest who lived with his wife in virginity. Through his untiring labors and love for the poor and sinners, he was granted great gifts of clairvoyance and miracle-working, to such a degree that in his last years miracles of healings were performed countless times each day through his prayers. In his lifetime he was known throughout Russia, as well as in the Western world. His diary My Life in Christ is a spiritual treasure for Christians; simple in language, it expounds the deepest mysteries of our Faith with wisdom which is given only to a heart purified by the grace of the Holy Spirit. Foreseeing the revolution of 1917, he rebuked the growing apostasy among the people; he foretold that the very name of Russia would be changed. As the darkness of unbelief grew, he shone forth as a beacon of unquenchable piety, comforting the faithful through the miracles that he worked and the fatherly love with which he received all. Saint John reposed in peace in 1909.

Le commencement de tous les biens spirituels, c'est la foi en Christ, en l'Evangile - une foi vivante prouvée par l'accomplissement des commandements de l'Evangile dans les actes, dans toute la vie : il est donc naturel que l'amour de l'argent, qui arrache du cœur la foi, soit la racine de tous les maux (I Tim. 6)

Holy Martyrs Cosmas and Damian, Unmercenaries of Arabia

Saints Cosmas and Damian were doctors who embraced the true faith and healed the sick in the name of Jesus Christ, becoming known for their miraculous healings. They refused to accept payment thus they are called "unmercenary". Wicked pagans seized them and took them to the governor. The holy brothers would not deny Christ at any price so they were thrown into the sea, but God almighty saved them from drowning. Then they were cast into fire, but an angel of God saved them from the flames. The pagan governor ascribed this to some magical power of theirs, but they replied: "We have no sort of magic, but we have the power of Christ to save us and all who call upon His holy name." Then they were stoned, but the stones bounced off them. Finally, they were beheaded by the sword. Many miracles were done through their holy relics, such as they themselves had done while living on this earth. Cosmas and Damian suffered in the early fourth century.

Holy Martyr Longinus

Saint Longinus was the centurion in command at Christ's crucifixion and at His tomb. He pierced Christ with a spear and was healed of an affliction when blood and water poured out of Him. After the events at the Cross, Longinus and two of his soldiers believed in Jesus as the Son of God. When the jews learned of the Resurrection, they bribed the soldiers to say that the disciples had stolen His body. Longinus and his comrades refused to be seduced by jewish gold. They also refused to remain silent about the miracles they had seen. They left the military, received baptism from the apostles, and went to spread the Gospel. Longinus gave himself to fasting and prayer and, as a living witness to the Resurrection, turned many pagans to Christ. The jews convinced Pilate to find and execute Longinus. When he was found, Longinus refused to flee when given the chance and he and his friends were beheaded. Pilate gave the skull of Longinus to the jews, who threw it on a dung heap outside the city.

Saint Romanos the Melodist

Saint Romanos was a monk and a sacristan in the temple of Hagia Sophia. Romanos was not a talented reader or singer. On the eve of the Nativity of Christ, he read the psalms so poorly that another reader had to take his place. The clergy ridiculed Romanos, which devastated him. On the day of the Nativity, the Mother of God appeared to the grief-stricken youth in a vision and gave him a scroll and commanded him to eat it. Thus Saint Romanos was given the gift of understanding, composition, and hymnography. That evening at the vigil Saint Romanos sang, in a wondrous voice, his first kontakion: "Today the Virgin gives birth to the Transcendent One..." Saint Romanos was ordained a deacon and became a teacher of song. Until his repose in the year 556, Romanos the Melodist composed nearly a thousand hymns, of which about eighty survive, and are still sung today by Orthodox Christians to glorify the Lord.

Holy Martyr Arethas and 4299 Martyrs

Saint Arethas suffered for Christ along with 4299 other Christians in the sixth century. Arethas was governor of Negran, a Christian city in southern Arabia. The king, a jew called Dunaan, had resolved to eradicate Christianity entirely. He laid siege to Negran and told the citizens they would die unless they denied Christ. The citizens closed the gates, and Dunaan resorted to a ruse. He swore an oath that he would not force the city into judaism, but would merely collect a tribute. The warnings of Arethas went unheeded, and the gates were opened. The bloodthirsty king summoned 95 year old Arethas and killed him and then indulged in a riot of butchery through the town. He told the inhabitants of Negran, "I merely want that you do not believe in Jesus Christ." More than four thousand men, women, and children confessed that Jesus Christ is God the Word, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, Incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and were martyred.

Holy Apostle and Evangelist Luke

Born in Antioch, Saint Luke was a physician who studied philosophy, medicine, and art. Hearing of Christ, Luke came to Jerusalem and saw the Savior face to face, heard His teachings, and witnessed His works. The resurrected Lord appeared to Saint Luke and Cleopas on the road to Emmaus. Luke joined Saint Paul on his second missionary journey, bringing many pagans and jews to Christ. After Paul's martyrdom, Luke taught the true faith in Macedonia, Dalmatia, and Italy. At the request of the Christians, Saint Luke wrote both his Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles. Luke painted three icons of the most holy Mother of God and icons of Peter and Paul, and is regarded as the founder of Christian iconography. In his old age, he traveled to Libya and Egypt, then returned to Greece, where he labored with great zeal. At the age of 84, Saint Luke was martyred by pagans for the sake of Christ and hanged from an olive tree in the town of Thebes.
