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 Irene of Corinth

St. Irene the Martyr (Feast Day - April 16)

Verses

You lived in peace O Martyr Irene,
Though you died not in peace but by the sword.

She contested during the time of Pascha in the land of Greece, namely the Morea, when Saint Leonides was martyred with the holy women. With the Christians of that time she was glorifying God in a separate church, and this was made known to the ruler, for which she was arrested and placed in prison. She was then taken out of prison, had her tongue cut out, and her teeth were extracted from the root. Finally, she was beheaded, and the blessed one went up bearing a crown into the heavens.
