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 Newly-Appeared Martyrs Andrew, Stephen, Paul and Peter

Sts. Andrew, Stephen, Paul and Peter the Martyrs (Feast Day - October 21)

Verses

You had three crowned with you O Stephen,
Who contested with you by the same sword.

The Holy Newly-Appeared Martyrs Andrew, Stephen, Paul and Peter met their end by the sword.

These Holy Martyrs are called "Newly-Appeared" because it is believed they were martyred during the Iconoclast persecution of Emperor Constantine Copronymos. The identity of these Holy Martyrs is not known, though one speculation says that the Andrew mentioned is Saint Andrew of Krisis, who is commemorated alone on October 17th. The other three could be monks who were martyred with him at the time, as the iambic verses indicate, or even notable martyrs from the period like Stephen the New, Paul of Kaiouma and Peter the Stylite, who are all commemorated on their own at different times.
