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!

Synaxarion of the Holy Martyrs Crescens, Paul and Dioskoridos of Rome

Sts. Crescens, Paul and Dioskoridos (Feast Day - May 28)

Verses

In the furnace Dioskoridos was Shadrach,
Paul was Meschach and Crescens was Abednego.

These Saints lived in Old Rome, where through their teachings many unbelievers were offered to Christ. The Greeks had them arrested, harshly beat them, then placed them in a lit furnace. In this way the renowned ones received the crown of martyrdom.
