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!

Verses

As garments, the five men of the Lord,
Were strangely spread out by being dragged.

These holy five Martyrs were perfected by martyrdom in Ascalon (Ashkelon), having been dragged upon the earth to death.
