Today, February 10, the Orthodox Church commemorates the memory of Saint Charalambos, one of the most beloved and respected figures within Orthodoxy. Saint Charalambos, who served as a priest, lived to an old age, witnessing for Christ even at a time when one would expect peace and rest. Despite the horrific tortures he endured, he remained steadfast in his faith, providing a powerful example for Christians and even shaking the resolve of his persecutors. His life and legacy are a source of inspiration for many.

According to tradition, Saint Charalambos was considered to be miraculous during his life and continues to be posthumously recognized for performing miracles. He is believed to have a special audience with God and is called upon for protection during plagues, illnesses, and great trials. This reverence for him has made him the patron saint of various regions in Greece, including Preveza, Pyrgos, Kea, Filiatra, and Hanakia in Ilia, where his feast day is celebrated with great devotion and adherence to tradition.

Alongside Saint Charalambos, the calendar also honors Saint Anastasius, Patriarch of Jerusalem, who was noted for his theological acumen and defense of the Orthodox faith. The commemoration of these saints is significant within the Orthodox community, reflecting the ongoing influence their lives and teachings have on contemporary faith practices and community bonding among believers.
