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 Soleb of Egypt

St. Soleb of Egypt (Feast Day - August 5)

Verses

If you reverse your syllables O Soleb,
You form belos* which was the instrument of your death.

The Holy Martyr Soleb of Egypt met his end with a bow and arrow.

Notes:

* Belos is the Greek word for "arrow," and this couplet in a clever way finds that the name Soleb is a semordnilap of the word Belos.
