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.

Saints Ananias and Solochonos, Archbishops of Ephesus

Sts. Ananias and Solochonos of Ephesus (Feast Day - December 1)

Verses

Two shepherds died of one flock,
And both went to one place abroad.

Like Saint Onesimus, who we also commemorate today, both Saints Ananias and Solochonos (or Solochon) are unidentified Archbishops of Ephesus. This is not surprising, since we only know of twenty-five Bishops of Ephesus. Some say there are copyist errors with both of these Saints; Ananias is confused with Ananias of Persia also commemorated today, while Solochonos is the same as Solomon the Archbishop of Ephesus commemorated on December 2nd.
