I was recently commissioned to translate some profound and inspiring works by our Righteous Father Alexei Mechev, which I put together in a booklet. Unfortunately, after printing 500 copies, circumstances changed and the one who commissioned the work has been hospitalized and called off the purchase. Since I am at an unforeseen personal loss with this, I wanted to make these never before translated texts available to my followers for only $11.95 a copy, which includes shipping and handling in the United States (orders outside the US, please use a pay button towards the bottom of this page and include $5 for a total of $16.95). I would like to sell all of these as quick as possible, and it would be great reading material for the lenten season. As an added incentive, for the first 50 people who order, I will also offer a never before published text by Fr. John Romanides titled "The Canon and the Inspiration of the Holy Scripture" free of charge.

Holy Martyr Okeanos

St. Okeanos the Martyr (Feast Day - September 12)

Verses

Okeanos is perceived as bright as the sun,
Bathing in fire, as if in the ocean.

The Holy Martyr Okeanos met his end by fire.

He is probably the Okeanos martyred with the Holy Martyrs Centurionus, Theodore, Ammianus and Julian, who are commemorated on September 4th. In some calendars for September 4th, such as the Menologion of Basil II, he is known as Kion, but he is not listed with them in the Synaxarion of Constantinople. These Holy Martyrs were martyred in Nicomedia in the year 288, who after undergoing various tortures had their feet cut off with an axe and then were cast into the flames.
