1. NEW TESTIMONY ON THE ISLAND OF NISSO, CYPRUS

The Neon in the Island of Cyprus Testimony is written in the manner and language of the Ecclesiastical - that of the Synaxarist. It refers to the cloud of the new martyrs of Cyprus. To those who first martyred at the hands of the British colonialists during the struggle, 1955-1959, as well as to the others, later, who martyred at the hands of the Turks, in 1974. They are the finished young people, the hanged ones them under the Englishmen, but with those who heroically fell in the struggle for Eleftheria, who courageously endured their martyrdom and published great texts and letters, which reveal the depth of their faith and their preparation in Christ for martyrdom. As well as a multitude of innocent new martyrs of the Turkish invasion of 1974, who were led to death. Thousands of missing and fallen and slaughtered innocent citizens, old men, women.

2. SAINTS OF SMYRNA

The Christian roots of Smyrna are very deep; they go back to the apostolic times. During the times of persecution, the Church of Smyrna also highlighted its martyrs. Koryphaeus its heroic bishop, the holy martyr Polykarpos. However, the Church of Smyrna raised saints and martyrs throughout its historical course.

In the dark times of slavery to the Turks, the soil of Smyrna was stained with the blood of the new martyrs. The martyrdom tradition of the unforgettable and many-cloistered city was sealed with his sacrifice by its last bishop, the martyred Metropolitan Chrysostomos.

On the happy anniversary of the completion of fifty years (1974-2024) from the founding of the Holy Metropolis of Nea Smyrna, which does not simply bear the name of Smyrna Asia Minor, but is in a way the inheritor of its spiritual wealth, its bishop-pastor brings to light and highlights the godly lives and sports of the holy figures of Smyrna.

3. VESSEL OF REPENTANCE

The neo-martyr Agathangelos was born in Ainos, Thrace, in 1800. Orphaned by his father, he became a sailor on a Turkish ship, whose captain wanted to make him his psycho child. When they anchored in Smyrna he forced him to turn Turkish and they named him Ishmael.

But Athanasios – as was his baptismal name – preferred to leave the luxurious life in the rich house of this wealthy man. He considered the "dishonor of Christ" as a greater wealth...

The life of the neo-martyr Agathangelos through an exciting literary narrative, which brings to life the heroic years of the neo-martyrs of the faith.
