Mikhailovo Miracle

In the 4th century in the ancient city of Khona, which was called Colossi under the Apostle Paul (in Phrygia, not far from Hierapolis), there was a temple of the Archangel Michael of God. It was erected by the zeal of one of the inhabitants of Laodicea: his mute daughter was healed and received the gift of speech by drinking water from a healing spring, located near the place where the temple was built, after the appearance of Archangel Michael to her father. Subsequently, at this place, the Archangel of God repeatedly showed his intercession to Christians.

The pious Christian Archippus served as sexton in the church for 60 years. Once, the embittered pagans, seeing that the preaching of the blessed Archippus was converting a large number of people to Christianity, decided to destroy the temple of the Archangel Michael and destroy Archippus. To do this, they connected two mountain rivers into one channel and directed their course to the temple. But through the prayer of Archippus, the Archangel Michael appeared, opening a wide cleft in the mountain with a blow from his staff; the waters of the rivers went down into the earth, and the temple was saved.

On this day, the Orthodox Church glorifies the miracles performed for the good of Christians by Saint Michael, the Archangel of the Heavenly Forces at different times in different places.

Near the Phrygian city of Hierapolis, on a place called Khoni, in the 4th century. The Holy Apostle John the Theologian, being in Hierapolis with the Apostles Philip and Bartholomew to preach the Gospel, predicted that the grace of God would shine in this place, and the Archangel Michael would visit this place. Soon after this, water broke through in the desert (Isaiah 35, 6) of Hierapolis, and a spring was opened, from which the holy Archangel invisibly gave healing to the faithful, as once from the pool of Siloam. Many came to this source, not only Christians, and those who washed and quenched their thirst with its water were healed of their ailments. Many received holy baptism in it.

Subsequently, at the healing spring, by the zeal of one Greek, whose daughter the Lord resolved the tongue from dumbness with the water of this source, a temple was built in honor of the holy Archangel Michael. A man named Archippus settled at the temple, who became famous for his holiness.

The pagans, who wanted to destroy the temple and destroy Saint Archippus, set out to flood that place. Saint Archippus then prayed for deliverance from adversity. And so, when the stream was launched from two rivers and rushed with great power to the temple, Archangel Michael opened a wide cleft in the mountain with a blow of his rod and ordered the water to rush against the pagans, saved the temple from destruction and Saint Archippus from drowning.

On the Neapolitan mountain Gargan, near the city of Siponta in 493, the Archangel Michael miraculously indicated a place for building a temple in his name, and after the construction of this temple, he also gave healing to the sick in it. When the infidel Lombards approached Sipont in 630 with the intention of conquering and plundering it and the Gargan monastery, the Archangel appeared in a vision to the bishop of this city and, having encouraged the frightened inhabitants, helped them defeat and expel their enemies with his help. The latter, seeing in this event the almighty hand of God, turned to the Orthodox faith of Christ.

Near Mount Athos, the holy Archangel Michael saved a youth from drowning. The attackers wanted to drown this youth in order to use the rich treasury he had found with a great amount of gold. On the occasion of this miracle, a temple built on Mount Athos by a certain Dochiar, a Bulgarian courtier, was dedicated to the name of the Archangel Michael, and the gold saved along with the life of the youth was used to decorate the new temple.

In the 8th century, St. John of Damascus, in the 9th century, Joseph the Studite and Byzantium wrote many hymns for the celebration of St. Michael the Archangel on September 6th. On the day of commemoration of the miracles of St. Michael the Archangel, the Church calls to him for the intercession and intercession of the faithful and prays to him, with other heavenly powers, to protect us with the shelter of the wings of his immaterial glory.

Martyrs Eudoxias, Zeno and Macarius

Martyrs Eudoxius, Zenon, Macarius and their retinue were martyred for Christ under Emperor Maximian Galerius, successor of Emperor Diocletian.

Saint Eudoxius held the high position of military commander in the imperial troops. He was a Christian, just like his friend Saint Zeno and his steward Macarius. After the Emperor Diocletian issued an edict on the death of Christians who refused to sacrifice to idols, many, including noble people and dignitaries, fled to different countries with their families in order to avoid torment and death. Then St. Eudoxius, with his wife, St. Basilissa, and all his family left their high position, abandoned their property and hid within the boundaries of Melitina of Armenia.

The ruler of Melitina sent soldiers to look for Eudoxius. Having met Eudoxius himself, dressed in poor clothes, and not recognizing him, the soldiers began to ask about the whereabouts of the commander Eudoxius. Without revealing himself, the saint invited the soldiers to his house, fed them and provided them with lodging for the night. Saint Eudoxius regarded his meeting with the soldiers as a call from the Lord to martyrdom. In the morning he revealed to his guests that he was the one they were looking for. Grateful for their hospitality, the soldiers offered to hide from their superiors that they had managed to find Saint Eudoxius. However, he himself did not agree to this.

Having made all the arrangements for the house, he explained to his wife that he should not be mourned, but on the contrary, the day of his martyrdom should be celebrated as a holiday. Putting on military clothes, he went with the soldiers to the ruler. Saint Basilissa and his friends, Saints Zenon and Macarius, followed Saint Eudoxius. The ruler tried to persuade Saint Eudoxius to sacrifice to idols and thereby save his life, high position and property. Saint Eudoxius firmly renounced everything, denouncing the madness of those who worship soulless idols.

The military belt - a sign of his commanding power - he took off himself and threw it in the face of the ruler. The soldiers who were at the same time, secret Christians, did the same, and there were more than a thousand of them. The embarrassed ruler asked the emperor what to do, and received an order: to torture the chiefs, and let the rest go. After lengthy tortures, the holy martyr Eudoxius was led to execution. Saint Basilissa wept as she followed her husband, and the martyr's friend Saint Zenon also wept. Then Saint Eudoxius again urged his wife not to weep, but to rejoice that he was worthy of a martyr's crown, and asked her to bury his body in a place called Amimna.

Saint Eudoxius predicted to weeping Zenon that they would appear in the Kingdom of Heaven at the same time. Encouraged by these words, Zinon loudly confessed himself a Christian, for which he was immediately sentenced to death. Saint Basilissa freely took the body of her husband and buried him where he commanded her. For this, they seized the saint and brought her to the governor; trying to share the fate of her husband, she denounced both the ruler and his false gods-idols without any fear. However, the ruler understood her intention, did not torment her and drove her away from him. Leaving, the saint told him that God sees her desire to suffer for her faith and will accept this desire as a fulfilled feat.

After 7 days, Saint Eudoxius appeared to his wife in a vision and ordered them to tell his friend and steward Macarius that he and Saint Zenon were waiting for Macarius to come to them. The latter immediately went to the governor, confessed himself a Christian, was sentenced to death and beheaded. Many Christians were also martyred at this time (+ 311-312).
