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!

Holy Martyr Drakonas of Arauraka in Armenia

St. Drakonas the Martyr (Feast Day - November 11)

Saint Drakonas came from Arauraka in Armenia and lived during the reign of Emperor Diocletian (284-304). When Decius was governor of Nicaea and was unjustly slaughtering Christians, Drakonas presented himself before the governor and boldly confessed his faith in Christ, after reviling the gods of the idols. For this he was cruelly tortured and thrown in prison. Because he continued to remain steadfast in his faith, he was beheaded.
