Many many thanks to all those who contributed to match a generous $3000 donation from an anonymous donor. The goal was attained this past weekend. It is because of people like you that the Mystagogy Resource Center can continue to offer unique material to all for free on a daily basis that I hope people find beneficial. For those who still wish to contribute, please do so, with much gratitude in return. God bless you all!

The Skull of Saint Tatiana the Martyr of Rome



After the Fall of Constantinople (1453), when the pious prince Neagoe Basarab (1512-1521) ruled in Romania, the Craioveşti rulers brought the skull of Saint Tatiana and the relics of Saint Gregory of Decapolite to Bistritsa Monastery. In 1955 the skull of Saint Tatiana was brought to the Cathedral of Saint Demetrios in Craiova, Romania. It is encased with the skulls of Sts. Sergius, Bacchus and Nephon of Constantinople.
