Martyrdom of the Holy Virgin Tatiana of Rome, and those who suffered with her
Post date: 2015-11-11Autor: BCP
The Holy Virgin Martyr Tatiana was born into an illustrious Roman family, and her father was elected consul three times. He was a good Christian, but secretly. He raised his daughter, Saint Tatiana, to be devoted to God and instructed her in the Scriptures. When she reached the age of maturity, Tatiana decided to remain a virgin, betrothing herself to Christ, touched by His love. She served Him day and night in fasting and prayer, putting her flesh to death and subjecting it to the Spirit. In view of her fervent zeal and love of God, she was appointed a deaconess. Deaconesses were young virgins appointed by bishops to care for the poor and the sick, to assist at Baptism and to serve in the temple. The words of Christ were rooted deeply in her heart: “The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” Her love of God and neighbours indeed made Tatiana worthy to receive a glorious martyr’s crown.
Martyrdom of St Ignatius Theophorus
Post date: 2015-10-31Autor: BCP
When Trajan became Emperor of Rome, St Ignatius was Bishop of the Church of Antioch. St Ignatius was not only called God-Bearer (Theophorus) but he really was God-Bearer. This holy man is known to be the person whom, when an infant, our Lord Jesus showed to the Apostles as a pattern. One day, the parents of this child were standing in the crowd around Jesus and listening to His words. They had their child with them. The Lord looked at them and called the little child to Him. He set him in the midst of them, embraced him, took him in His arms and said: “Unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.” Certainly Saint Ignatius was called Theophorus because God Incarnate bore him in His arms. But also because he carried God in his heart.

Post date: 2015-07-04Autor: BCP
The Byzantine Catholic Patriarchate after examining the documents relating to the writings of John Huss, his testimony of life and orthodoxy of the Catholic faith as well as orthodox doctrine, and also after examining the evidence about his imprisonment and death, on the occasion of the six hundredth anniversary of his martyrdom, by authority of the apostolic and prophetic office, in the name of the Triune God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, numbers John Huss, Czech priest and martyr for Christ and the truth, among the choir of saints. We hereby appeal to the Czech nation to follow its heroic preacher of truth especially in these hard times of serious heresies, invasion of neopaganism and moral devastation.
