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.

Synaxarion of the Holy Martyr Adrian the New

St. Adrian the New (Feast Day - April17)

Verses

They do not know who is in the midst of the flames,
Spoke knowledge. Adrian was steadfast.

The Holy Martyr Adrian was one of the Christians who was captured by the Greeks and put in prison. When the Greeks were offering sacrifices to their false gods, they removed this Saint from prison, and they were forcing him to go near the sacrificial altar to offer incense, that is to offer incense to demons. However, the brave Martyr of Christ not only did not do this, but he ran towards it and knocked down the sacrificial altar, while the sacrifices on it spilled over, and the fire was extinguished. This enraged the ruler, and the hearts of the idolaters present were inflamed with anger, so they took him and beat him without mercy. One person struck him with rods, while another crushed his mouth with a rock, and yet another hit him on the head. Finally, they lit up a great furnace, and put the Saint inside. In this way the road to martyrdom for the blessed one came to an end, and he entered a crown-bearer into the heavens.
