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.

Commemoration of the Holy Martyr Mamas Over at the Sigma

 Holy Martyr Mamas Over at the Sigma (Feast Day - July 12)
Verses

If I cannot give you a gift of honor Mamantos,
How can I appear to be a friend of Martyrs?

This Saint Mamas probably refers to the same Holy Martyr commemorated on September 2nd. On this day, there appears to have been a Synaxis at a shrine dedicated to Saint Mamas in the Sigma section of Constantinople. The Sigma is known to have been located above the Peribleptos Monastery. Next to the location of this monastery, in 1888 there was found a plaque on which the name "Mamas" was written, which could indicate the location of this church dedicated to Saint Mamas.
