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 Martyrs Neophytos, Zenonos, Gaius, Mark, Makarios, and Gaianus

Sts. Neophytos, Zenonos, Gaius, Mark, Makarios, and Gaianus
(Feast Day - August 11)

Verses

To Neophytos, Zenonos, Gaius.
Neophytos, Zenonos and Gaius,
Were spread out in the furnace, as if sleeping inside.

To Mark, Makarios and Gaianus.
The three burnt alive Martyrs were perceived,
As a strange scent of incense to the Trinity.

On this day we commemorate the Holy Martyrs Neophytos, Zenonos, Gaius, Mark, Makarios, and Gaianus, who met their end by fire. Their Synaxis was celebrated in the praise-worthy house of the Holy and Glorious Unmercenaries Kosmas and Damianos in the Darion district of Constantinople.
