(The eight other martyrs as given in the Great Synaxaristes in the Greek are as follows: (Greek) "Ἀττικός, Μαρίνος, Ὠκεανός, Εὐστράτιος, Καρτέριος, Νικοπολιτιανός, Στύραξ καὶ Τωβίας.") - ↑ There were two abbots of this name at the monastery of Agaunum in Switzerland.
- ↑ The Shuiu-Smolensk Wonderworking Icon of the Mother of God was painted in the years 1654-1655 in the Resurrection parish of the city of Shuiu, where an unrelenting pestilence raged. Trusting in the mercy of God and the intercession of the Mother of God, the parishioners of the Resurrection church commissioned a certain pious monk to paint the icon of the Smolensk Mother of God, an icon long attributed with being a rescuer of the Russian people from enemies and misfortune. The parishioners spent the whole week in prayer and fasting while the image was being painted. When the icon was finished, the priest and the people took it to the church and set it in a specially built place. From that time the pestilence began to ease, at first in the area of the Resurrection parish, and then also in all the city. From the Icon of the Mother of God many miracles of healing took place, especially of eye diseases. The icon is also celebrated on July 11, July 28, and Bright Tuesday.
