Epistle St. Paul's Letter to the Hebrews 4:14-16; 5:1-6 BRETHREN, since we have a high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of THE HOLY MARTYRS CHRYSANTHUS AND DARIA AND THE OTHERS WITH THEM God, let us hold fast our confession. For we have not a high priest who is unable to sympathize Chrysanthus was the only son of Polemius, a distinguished patrician, who settled in Rome from with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without Alexandria. As the son of wealthy parents, Chrysanthus studied all the secular subjects, having the most sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy learned men for instructors. But secular wisdom confused him and left him in uncertainty as to what is and find grace to help in time of need. For every high priest chosen from among men is truth. As a result of this, he grieved. But God, who plans all and everything, alleviated his grief. A written appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. He can copy of the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles came into the hands of the young Chrysanthus. Having deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness. Because of read them, Chrysanthus was enlightened with the truth, and he desired a teacher and found one in the this he is bound to offer sacrifice for his own sins as well as for those of the people. And one person of a certain priest, Carpophorus, who taught and baptized him. This did not please his father, does not take the honor upon himself, but he is called by God, just as Aaron was. So also Christ who attempted everything in order to dissuade him from believing in Christ. Not succeeding, the wicked did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him, "Thou father at first tried to corrupt him by placing him alone with an immoral woman. In this, Chrysanthus was victorious over himself and persevered in chastity. His father then coerced him into marring Daria, art my Son, today I have begotten thee"; as he says also in another place, "Thou art a priest for a pagan girl. Chrysanthus counseled Daria to embrace the Faith in Christ and to live together as brother ever, after the order of Melchizedek." and sister, although pretending to be married. When his father died, Chrysanthus began to confess Christ openly and to live as a Christian, both he and his entire household. During the reign of Emperor Numerian, he and Daria were cruelly tortured for their faith. Even the torturer Claudius, witnessing the Gospel Reading Mark 8:34-38; 9:1 Third Saturday of Lent forbearance of these honorable martyrs and the miracles which were manifested during their agony, The Lord said: "If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross embraced the Faith of Christ along with his entire household. For this, Claudius was drowned. Both of and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake his sons were beheaded. His wife, after having recited her prayers, died on the gallows. Daria was so and the gospel's will save it. For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and forfeit steadfast in her agony that the pagans cried out, "Daria is a goddess!" Finally, it was decreed that Chrysanthus and Daria be buried in a deep pit and covered with stones. Later, a church was erected on his life? For what can a man give in return for his life? For whoever is ashamed of me and my this site. There was a cave near this pit where some Christians assembled for prayer and Communion in words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, memory of the Saints Chrysanthus and Daria. Hearing of this, the pagans attacked and sealed off this when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels." And he said to them, "Truly, I say cave. By such a death, the pagans drove these Christians from this world to a better world where Christ to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of reigns eternally.

  • Martelaren in Het Romeinse Rijk, Ii
    MARTELAREN IN HET ROMEINSE RIJK, II Wie zal ons scheiden van de liefde van Christus? Want om uwentwil worden wij den gansen dag gedood; wij zijn geacht als schapen ter slachting. Maar in dit alles zijn wij meer dan overwinnaars door Hem, Die ons heeft lief gehad. Romeinen 8:35-37. VANAF DE TIJD VAN DE TIENDE VERVOLGING 283 TOT 213 Overgenomen uit: Historie der martelaren die, om de getuigenis der evangelische waarheid hun bloed gestort hebben, van Christus onze Zaligmaker af tot het jaar 1655 Door ADRIAAN VAN HAAMSTEDE Predikant te ANTWERPEN En aangevuld met gegevens van: Eusebius, Mollinus, Van Braght, en anderen STICHTING DE GIHONBRON MIDDELBURG Tweede versie 2012 Voorwoord Deze beschrijving van een aantal martelaren die door de Romeinse overheid gedood werden in de eerste drie eeuwen na Christus’ Hemelvaart, is in de eerste plaats ontleend aan het Martelaarsboek van Adriaan van Haamstede. Van Haamstede heeft een aanzienlijk aantal namen genoemd en meestal een korte beschrijving gegeven. Elke naam en de beschrijving die er bij hoort is vergeleken met oude bronnen en nieuwere gegevens. Deze worden in de literatuurlijst vermeldt. Uit deze bronnen zijn veel waardevolle bijzonderheden van de martelaren overgenomen. De toelichtingen die regelmatig als aanvulling op Van Haamstede’s werk voorkomen zijn meestal ontleend aan het Heiligenboek en het Romeins Martelaarsboek. Uit gegevens die op Internet gepubliceerd zijn, zijn vooral de data van personen die in deze bundel voortkomen gecontroleerd met de data bij Van Haamstede, en zo nodig gecorrigeerd. Niemand stote zich aan de beschrijving van wonderen die bij sommige gebeurtenissen plaatsvonden. Betrouwenswaardige schrijvers uit die tijd geven verslagen weer van wonderen die door personen - meest bisschoppen - werden verricht en wonderen die in de Voorzienigheid plaatsvonden.

  • The Sanctoral Calendar of Wilhelm Loehe's Martyrologium Trans
    The Sanctoral Calendar of Wilhelm Loehe's Martyrologium trans. with an introduction by Benjamin T. G. Mayes October 2001 Source: Wilhelm Loehe, Martyrologium. Zur Erklärung der herkömmlichen Kalendernamen. (Nürnberg: Verlag von Gottfr. Löhe, 1868). Introduction. Loehe's Martyrologium of 1868 was not his first attempt at a Lutheran sanctoral calendar. Already in 1859, he had his Haus-, Schul- und Kirchenbuch für Christen des lutherischen Bekenntnisses printed, in which he included a sanctoral calendar which was different in many ways from his later, corrected version. The earlier calendar contained many more names, normally at least two names per day. Major feasts were labelled with their Latin names. But the earlier calendar also had errors. Many dates were marked with a question mark. A comparison of the two calendars shows that in the earlier calendar, Loehe had mistaken Cyprian the Sorcerer (Sept. 26) with Cyprian of Carthage. On the old calendar's April 13th, Hermenegild was a princess. In the new one, he's a prince. In the earlier calendar, Hildegard the Abbess (Sept. 17) was dated in the 300's. In the new one, she is dated 1179. In fact, in the later calendar, I would suppose that half of the dates have been changed. Loehe was conscious of the limitations of his calendar. He realized especially how difficult the selection of names was. His calendar contains the names of many Bavarian saints. This is to be expected, considering the fact that his parish, Neuendettelsau, is located in Bavaria. Loehe gave other reasons for the selection of names in his Martyrologium: "The booklet follows the old calendar names.

  • The Corpus of Prose Saints' Lives and Hagiographic Pieces in Old English and Its Manuscript Distribution*
    The Corpus of Prose Saints' Lives and Hagiographic Pieces in Old English and its Manuscript Distribution* Alex Nicholls University of London THE MANUSCRIPT DISTRIBUTION With the corpus of Old English hagiographic prose texts now defined,95 the manuscript distribution can be investigated. The manu­ scripts are ordered in terms of the number of saints' lives they con­ tain and then by Ker number. Thus the primarily hagiographic collec­ tions in Old English are listed first, with miscellanies and fragments coming later. Witnesses of mainly fElfrician lives are presented first and subdivided into those which are primary witnesses showing the distribution of the Lives of Saints set and those representing the Catholic Homilies. So that the range of texts within a collection can be quickly assessed, the manuscript contents are shown in the order in which they appear in editions, rather than in each collection. Should the manuscript order of contents be in any way significant for this analy­ sis, this is indicated. fElfrician texts are placed first in each manu­ script breakdown and then the anonymous lives on a new line, after a colon. again to make the balance of a collection immediately clear. Damaged or fragmentary manuscripts are li sted by manuscript refer­ ence, cited in single quotation marks and descriptions of the original contents of such manuscripts are quoted. The titles of texts which are completely lost are recorded in angle brackets « ». Only St Margaret 2 no longer exists in any manuscript witnesses. When only the passio of a life is preserved and its pericope exposition omitted (although it may be preserved elsewhere), such a text is marked with an asterix.96 52 Alex Nicholls MAINLY AELFRICIAN COLLECTIONS The primary witnesses of the Lives of Saints London, British Library, Cotton Julius E.
