Celebration: Who are celebrating today November 29, 2024

Today, Friday (29.11.2024) according to the honor of the memory of Saint Phaidros martyr and Saint Philomenes. The names celebrated today, according to the celebration calendar, are as follows: Phaedra Phaedrula Faidrina Kissing Friend Philumina Philomila Philomili Friend Saint Neomartira Kissing As a boy, Saint Philomenos loved Christ. At the age of ten with his twin brother they expected their older brother to fall asleep to pray. Saint, descended from the village of Oruda, Morfu Province. A good teacher and teacher of godly devotion had their grandmother, Luxandra, who asked them to read to her the lives of saints. Reading God’s Holy Kissing, the life of St. John the Caucasian, as another imitator of that, burned the desires of this world. The two brothers, started for the ancient Holy Monastery of Stavrosovoni where they remained for five years and then departed from the martyr land of Cyprus to the Holy Land of Jerusalem. Father Elpidus after twelve years of ministry in Jerusalem continued his church life in various parts of Orthodoxy and fell asleep on Mount Athos. Philomenos stayed in the holy land for 46 years ministering to the brotherhood of the Patriarchate there, as guardian of Holy Places, but apart from holy ways. His last station of ministry was the Frear of Jacob, which became a place for his witness. On 16 November 1979 AD (29 November with the new calendar), fanatical Zionists, claiming the pilgrimage as theirs, cut him off at the time of the evening, Ayotaph fathers received his honest relic after five days and buried it in the holy land. Four years later, at the funeral of a dying member of the Holy Brotherhood, the tomb of P. Philomenos was opened, to be collected. All then the attendees saw an excellent and wonderful sight. The body of the dead Archimandrite was intact and fragrant. Also today is International Solidarity Day to the Palestinian People.
