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 Firmus

St. Firmus the Martyr (Feast Day - June 1)

Verses

Firmus endured many torments,
He also found many rewards in the heavens.

He contested during the reign of Emperor Maximian in the year 299. Arrested for his faith in Christ, he was brought before Magus. Because he could not be persuaded to sacrifice to the idols, he was stripped naked and beaten with oxhides. Then he was suspended and his flesh was lacerated. After this his nose was cut off with a razor. Then they removed his bones from their joints. After this they cut his stomach with knives, as well as the calf of his legs and his thighs. Later he was struck with stones. Finally they beheaded him, and in this way the blessed one received the crown of martyrdom.
