New Martyr John the New of Epirus and Venerable Euthymius of Karelia

Today we remember New Martyr John the New of Epirus, who bravely confessed Christ during difficult times under Turkish rule. Despite threats and torture, he remained steadfast and was martyred by fire and sword in 1526. We also honor Venerable Euthymius, the Enlightener of Karelia, who founded a monastery in a pagan land and guided many monks. Alongside him, we remember the righteous brothers Anthony and Felix, who were drowned while exploring new lands and are buried at the monastery he rebuilt.Support the show
