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 Archontios

St. Archontios the Martyr (Feast Day - September 3)

Verses

Archontios starved and hence was worn out,
The ruler of this world is a noetic lamia.*

The Holy Martyr Archontios met his end by starvation.

* Lamia in ancient Greek mythology was a woman who became a child-eating monster, much like a witch. Here the devil is described as a lamia for devouring the children of God, as opposed to Archontios who starved to death for his love of God.
