Today you can not sort things out in the family, swear and be offended.
What happened on this day:
Today the Orthodox Church honors the memory of St. Martinian of Caesarea. He began his journey to God as a hermit in the desert, where he spent almost all his time in sincere prayers. For this, the Lord rewarded him with the gift of healing. But one day, returning from the desert, he faced a real test – female beauty. The girl tried to seduce Martinian and lead him astray. But the monk did not succumb to temptation and rejected the girl. For this, the Monk Martinian is considered the patron of fidelity in the family.
