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 Kyriaki of Nicomedia and Those With Her

St. Kyriaki of Nicomedia (Feast Day - May 19)

Verses

Prudently you escaped the eternal fire,
Which brings temporary pleasure Kyriaki.

In the city of Nicomedia during the reign of Emperor Maximian, six holy virgins suffered martyrdom for their faith in Christ. The principal one, named Kyriaki, having freely reproved Maximian for his impiety, was most severely scourged and lacerated, and then consumed with fire.
