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.

Holy Martyr Alkiviades

St. Alkiviades the Martyr (Feast Day - August 16)

Verses

The flesh of Alkiviades was devoured by fire,
Just like stubble as the divine Moses said.

The Holy Martyr Alkiviades met his end by fire.*

Notes:

* Some believe this Alkiviades is the same as the Alkiviades commemorated on June 2nd, who was one of the Martyrs of Lyons in 177 AD. However, according to Saint Irenaeus, who described their martyrdoms, those who were Roman citizens were beheaded, while those who weren't were thrown to the wild beasts. Today's Alkiviades is described as being killed by fire, thus casting doubt on the association.
