A rich collection of the lives of well-known and lesser-known saints and martyrs, accompanied by their troparia. Among them are many new martyrs. A work - a valuable aid in our everyday life. The book is the result of the effort of Father Dimitrios Tampakis (Prayer Book for Special Occasions), while the editing of the texts is undertaken by Dimitra Stavrou. From the preface of the book: - Reverend professor, after so many decades in the Universities and in Theological Studies, what is ultimately the message of life that you have gained? I asked this question to the blessed professor of Theology Stylianos Papadopoulos (+Monk Gerasimos), when a long time ago, one Sunday morning, he had visited our church in Anapli. And he answered me with certainty and simplicity: - Let us love the saints! Let us make them our friends, because through them we see Jesus Christ Himself. And indeed, the saints function as divine mirrors. In them, you see the beauty and greatness of our Christ and you long for Paradise. Like an old family photograph, which brings you memories and nostalgia. The saints are friends and familiar to God, but also to us.
