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 Martyrs Chrysanthos and Euphemia


Verses

To Chrysanthos.
Chrysanthos blossomed as altogether pleasant fruit,
Who appeared much mightier than gold.

To Euphemia.
The discourse of praise to Euphemia,
Clearly made her worthy of immortality.

We do not know the identity of these Holy Martyrs, but in the Synaxarion of Constantinople we are told that a church was dedicated to them in Constantinople near the Church of Saint Akakios in Kontoskalion, known today as Kumkapi, that used to be in the area where the Armenian Patriarchate is located today.
