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

The eight numbered chorus died by the sword,
The eight thus finding eternal life.

We do not know details of the lives and contests of these Holy Martyrs, except that in Nicaea of Bithynia they were beheaded by the sword for confessing their faith in Christ.
