| St. Dioskoros the New (Feast Day - May 11) |
Verses
While in our day there lives the myth of the Dioskouri,
Dioskoros who lives forever was beheaded.
Dioskoros who lives forever was beheaded.
This Saint was from the great city of Smyrna, and for his faith in Christ he was brought before the ruler of Smyrna. Because he proclaimed himself a Christian, he was put in prison. He was interrogated for a second time, and because he remained steadfast in his faith, the ruler ordered for his beheading, and in this way the blessed one received the crown of martyrdom.
