AAC celebrates the Memorial Day of St. Witness Demetrius and the priest Basilisk St. Demetrius was born in Persia and lived during the time of Emperor Constantine the Great. Having believed in God, he retired to the Mysbinsky (Mazhdaorshi) Monastery, then to Theodorsipol Monastery, where he prayed for Dehakokun. The saint refused to become a priest, considering himself unworthy of this rank. He retreated to an abandoned cave near the Euphrates River. Emperor Julian the Apostle during the war with the Persians with his army passed through the cave of Saint Demetrius. When he saw people gathered at the entrance to the cave expecting healing, the emperor ordered to block the entrance to the cave, where the saint was with two disciples. Later the holy remains of the martyrs were taken from the cave and interrogated. Saint Basilisk was destroyed in 362 by the emperor Julian the Apostle. Basilisk condemned the emperor for denying Messiah, for which he was subjected to cruel torture. @alphanewsam Subscribe to Alpha News VK - Zen - Site - TikTok.
