Feast Day Calendar: Important Sunday – Who Celebrates Today, February 22

The Orthodox Church commemorates the Finding of the Sacred Relics of Saints Martyred in Eugenios, along with other saints, on February 22.

On February 22, the Orthodox Church marks the Finding of the Sacred Relics of the saints who were martyred in Eugenios as well as other revered saints recognized for their faith and patience. This day is known as Sunday of Cheese Fare, dedicated to remembering the expulsion of the Original Parents from Paradise. The miraculous revelation of these sacred relics in the Eugenios area of Constantinople has brought spiritual comfort and strength to the faithful, as the church honors not just their martyrdom but the manifestation of God's grace through these relics.

Among those recognized on this day are the venerable Saints Thalassios and Limnaios, ascetics who practiced strict fasting, prayer, and renunciation of worldly pleasures, dedicating their lives entirely to God. Additionally, St. Anthousa and her twelve servants, who endured torture and death for their outspoken faith, are commemorated on this day. These celebrations highlight the resilience and devoutness of these figures in the face of adversity and reflect the significance of faith in the Orthodox Christian tradition.

The commemoration not only serves to uphold the memory of these saints but also reinforces the spiritual teachings and values of the Orthodox faith, encouraging believers to maintain their spiritual practices and devotion amidst life’s challenges.
