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 Archelaos and the One Hundred and Fifty-Two Martyrs With Him

St. Archelaos and the 152 with him (Feast Day - March 5)

Verses

Archelaos ran to be first to give his neck to the sword,
You O people were first to run to be decapitated for the Lord.

The Holy Martyr Archelaos and the One Hundred and Fifty-Two Martyrs with him met their end by the sword.*

Notes:

* The Synaxaria say there were 152 Martyrs, while the Menaia say there were 142 Martyrs.

Some sources say they were martyred in Egypt, while others add the names of Cyril and Photios and say they were martyred in Nicomedia.
