Saint Irinarchos and the Seven Holy Women
According to the synaxarist, Saint Irinarchos lived in the time of King Diocletian and came from Sebastia. He was born in a heathen family and was taught to feel against the Christians. He served to torture the Christians in their persecution.
But his frequent approach to the martyrs of Christ gradually brought light to Irinarchos. He saw the meek heroic martyrs but at the same time strong and irresolute in their faith,the women suffering the terrible torture with violence and self-sacrifice and he respected them for their greatness.
this gradual change in the soul of Irinarchos ended in his confession to Christ, at the time when seven Christian women were resolutely putting all the punishments and martyrdoms for their faith.
This confession cost him death, which he received by defiance and which he suffered with complete joy in 303 AD.
Saint Stephen the Conqueror, the Younger
Saint Stephen was born in Constantinople and raised by his pious parents John and Anna in the best Christian way. When he grew up, he received enough education and later he became the abbot of the famous Mount Agios Auxentios.
When the war against the holy icons began, he not only did not comply with the imperial orders, but also called the heretics of the iconoclast kings. He was condemned to the emperor Constantine Copronymus, who hoped by his personal offense, when he brought him before him, to subdue the mind of Stephen. but the opposite happened. Stephen, one of the people who “have great courage in the faith in Christ” (1 timothy, 3:13), that is, with great courage and courage proclaiming the faith that is being proclaimed by those who are in communion with Jesus Christ , strictly check the Copyright face to face. He imprisoned him there and after days ordered his death.
So, after they took him out of the prison, they started beating him and beating him with heavy clubs. A strong blow to the head ended Stephen’s life (in 767 AD). Then his body was thrown into the sea, but pious Christians who found him when the waves brought him to the beach, buried him with due honor.
