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!

Venerable Martinian in Areobindos

St. Martinian in Areobindos (Feast Day - May 18)

Verses

Martinian escaped from below,
And now enters the heavenly dimension.

On this day we commemorate our Venerable Father Martinian in Areobindos. We do not have any biographical information about Venerable Martinian, but it is assumed he lived as a monk in or around the Church of the Theotokos in the Areobindos quarter of Constantinople, or perhaps his relics rested there.
