#Feasts of #Miyazia_19
✞✞✞On this day we commemorate the martyrdom of Saint Simeon the Armenian✞✞✞
✞✞✞In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, one God. Amen!✞✞✞
✞✞✞St. Simeon the Martyr (the Armenian)✞✞✞
=>Though St. Simeon was an Armenian he received martyrdom in the land of Persia (the now Iran). Many martyrs were glorified (as pure offerings to the Lord) in Persia from the 1st century to the rise of Muslims in the 7th century.
✞Many of the martyrs were natives (citizens of Persia) but some were foreigners that came to the country and were martyred. Persians used to worship the Sun greatly and tortured Christians to worship and bow down to this creature.
✞As St. Simeon was appointed a Bishop of one of the provinces of Persia, he partook of the afflictions as well. In those days, Christianity was not a festivity as it is today hence, St. Simeon (the shepherd) and around 150 of his spiritual children (his flock) endured much for the sake of the love of Christ.
✞And because they were found steadfast in their faith all 151 were sentenced to death and were martyred.
✞✞✞May the God of the martyrs.
