Holy Verses of Saints

My deep interest in the praising of the Saints prompted me five years ago to start an effort to fill part of the hymnographic gap that exists, by printing editions with Hymns.

It is well known that, unfortunately, there are no Hymns for all the Saints and especially for Saints of the early Christian centuries. In fact, most of them are Great Martyrs since they suffered tortures of unbelievable cruelty, such that the healthy human mind is unable to grasp their full extent.

For example, Saint Julia from Corsica, who is a Great Martyr because she was executed (died) by death on the cross in the fourth century after being scourged and having her breasts cut off, is commemorated by our Church on May 22, but lacks a Mass.

Saint Daphne also, who was beheaded by her pagan father in the 7th century and whose memory is commemorated by our Church on 15 May. She too lacks a Succession.

Jesus, as we read in the Gospel, gave a command to the apostles. He said to them:

<<You received free, give free>>

“Free” therefore applies not only to the apostles but also to all who want to work in His vineyard.

The financial difficulties that we are facing in Greece in the last two years are increasing, making the work of these editions more and more difficult, which, admittedly, so far has given great joy and relief to many people and especially to hospitalized patients, since we have made sure that the books are distributed to hospitals. Let me emphasize that this work is being done VOLUNTARILY.
