Synaxarion of the Holy Martyrs Mark and Mokianos

Sts. Mark and Mokianos the Martyrs (Feast Day - July 3)

Verses

Mark endured beheading,
Inscribing the path to the passion of Mokianos.

These Saints were urged to sacrifice to the idols by the eparch Maximus and were not persuaded, rather they boldly confessed the name of Christ, and were beheaded.

When Saint Mokianos was going to the place of judgement, he was followed by his wife and children who were crying, but the Saint advised them to be quiet and not cry.

When Saint Mark was beheaded, his wife was standing there, and with rejoicing she took with her hands his head as if it were a precious treasure.

In this way the two brave athletes of Christ ascended victoriously into the heavens.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
