Agia Haritini

St. Haritini sported on Emperor Diocletian (284 – 305 AD). He was a slave of the Senate Claudian (or Claudius).

In 304 AD Some denounced her to the Domestic governor as a Christian, and he called her in questioning in the presence of her Lord. When the Saint confessed to her faith in Christ, she was subjected to horrible witnesses. She shaved her head but miraculously, her head immediately refined hair. Then they put her head on charcoal and shed vinegar on top. Then they burned her sides with lit candles, and with a stone on the throat they threw her into the sea. But again God saved her. Was then ordered to go to prostitution. Haritini, however, prayed, and her pure soul was now surrendered to the Living God.

Saint Hermogenes the Hieromartyr the Miracle Worker

Saint Hermogenes is ignored by the co -workers. But he is known in Cyprus as a local saint. He was bishop of Samos and his sacred relics arrived in a miraculous way, through the sea in Cyprus. We have no details on the life of the saint.

Kimolos’s Hosea Method was born on the island of Kimolos on November 10, 1865 AD, to pious parents. Her father was called Jacob Sardis and her mother Maria. They had three sons and five daughters, from which the second was Peace or the subsequent method.

From a young age he was inclined to the aunt and always frequented the church. When she came to an appropriate age, in order not to regret her parents, she married a navy in the profession. Although married, her zeal to the Church remained unchanged. But once, her husband, on a trip, sank near Asia Minor and never returned to Kimolos. Irene then became a nun at the Church of Our Lady of Odigitria in Kimolos, by the then Archbishop of Syros Methodius renamed peace, method. Her joy was great and followed the Evangelical Lord’s Gospels with all her soul.

Her ascetic struggles were great and was a living example for everyone. The reputation of her great virtue spread everywhere and a multitude of women were going to meet her in order to find a spiritual refuge and a port from the tricks of life. Her reason was cool and a healing to the suffering souls. Also, Methodia, in addition to other gifts, was claimed by God and the charisma to do miracles.
