The names celebrated today, according to the celebration calendar, are as follows: Valeria Valeriana Valerianos Valianos Valios Cecilia Kequilia Philemon Philemon Philemona Flemona James Jacobina Zakelina* Yakoumis* Saint James (Tsalikis), Theodoros, professor of the Holy Monastery of Osios David of Evia St. James Tsalikis (Livisi Asia Minor, 5 November 1920 – Euboia, 21 November 1991) was a Mikrasian Greek monk and abbot of the Monastery of Osios David Euboia. It is one of the most important personalities of the lonely space in Greece during the 20th century. He stood out for his ascetic osian life, as well as for the gifts he developed and which classify him in the modern forms of holiness of the Orthodox Church. He slept in 1991 at the age of 71. Saint Kikilia lived in the 3rd century AD and her parents were pagans and even nobles. But Kikilia heard Christ’s teaching and asked to be baptized. Some time later, her parents married her to a noble young man Valerian, who under the influence of Kikilia also embraced Christian Faith. With Valerian he came into the congregation and his brother Tiburtius. During the Diocletian persecution Kikilia, Valerius, and Tiburtius continued to declare their Faith to Jesus Jesus and their charity work. That is why they were arrested and suffered the last punishment, death by beheading. *There are other dates that celebrate this name.
