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 New Martyr Chrysanthos of Xenophontos (+ 1821)

St. Chrysanthos of Xenophontos (Feast Day - April 10)

The Holy New Martyr Chrysanthos was martyred in Constantinople on April 10, 1821, which was Easter Sunday, on the same day as Ecumenical Patriarch Gregory V.

He was an elderly monk from the Monastery of Xenophontos on the Holy Mountain of Athos. His name is absent from the synaxaria and any further details of his life are unknown to us.

Regarding his martyric end, a manuscript from the Monastery of Xenophontos says:

"On 10 April, the day of the Bright Resurrection of the Lord, our Elder Chrysanthos met his end by the sword in the Queen of Cities by a Hagarene for the sake of piety."
