St. Victor was an officer who during the persecution under Maximian in Marseilles encouraged the Christians to bravery. When he denounced the worship of idols before the prefects of his legion, he was dragged through the streets. Being then cast into prison, he converted three soldiers, Sts. Longinus, Alexander, and Felician, who were beheaded. Then he was crushed under a millstone "like wheat chosen by God." Holy Martyr Victor, pray to God for us!

Icon of the Mother of God of Armatia





The Armatia Icon of the Mother of God was in Constantinople at the Armatian monastery. The place where the monastery was located, was called "Armation" or "of the Armatians" and received its name from the military magister Armatias, nephew of the tyrant Basiliscus, and a contemporary of the emperor Zeno (474-491).

The celebration of the wonderworking icon was established to commemorate deliverance from the Iconoclast heresy. The Seventh Ecumenical Council of 787 drew up dogmatic definitions about icon veneration based on Holy Scripture and Church Tradition.

The Armatia Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos is commemorated twice during the year, on July 21 and August 17.

Saint ARBOGAST, originaire d'Aquitaine, évêque de Strasbourg en Alsace et patron de ce diocèse (678).
St. Arbogast of Strasbourg, Bishop
------------------------------------------------
Born in Aquitaine, France; died c. 678. Although the Irish and Scottish
both claim Arbogast as their own, the 13th-century Chronicle of Sens by
Richer and the Life of Saint Florentius, his successor, strongly support
the claim of Scotland. His acta, however, tell us that Arbogast was born
of a noble family in Aquitaine, France. His vita, attributed to Bishop
Utone of Strasbourg (died 965), tells us that Arbogast was living as a
recluse in the Sacred Forest (Heiligesforst or Haguenau) of Alsace when
King Dagobert took an interest in him. The holy hermit was often called
to court to share his wisdom with the king, who, about 630, forced on
Arbogast the see of Strasbourg. Shortly after his consecration, Arbogast
raised Dagobert's son Sigebert to life when he had been killed by a fall
from his horse. Many other miracles are ascribed to the saint, but he
was loved and famed for humility and wisdom.

Because of the king's affection for the bishop, the see was endowed with
several large estates, including Rufach and the old royal palace of
Isenburg. Arbogast founded or endowed several monasteries, including
Surbourg, Shutteran, and possibly Ebersheimmunster (although Saint
Odilia's father, Adalric, and Bishop Saint Deodatus of Nevers are the
principal founders of this last one).

Apparently Saint Arbogast retired before his death, because the year
before Dagobert offered the see of Strasbourg to Saint Wilfrid, who was
on his way to Rome to challenge the division of his see. When Wilfrid
declined, Saint Florentius was consecrated.

At Arbogast's request, he was interred on a mountain in the place set
apart for the burial of criminals. The church of Saint Michael was built
over his tomb and Saint Arbogast's Abbey rose nearby. His second
successor translated his body with honour into the abbey church. A
church was built in his honour in 1069, but it was destroyed by the
Protestants in 1530. His relics were scattered during the Thirty Years
War (Benedictines, Encyclopaedia, Farmer, Husenbeth).

In art, Saint Arbogast is a bishop walking dryshod over a river,
sometimes with Saint Sebastian (Roeder). He is the patron of Strasbourg,
but his feast is also kept in several Swiss cantons (Farmer).

Archbishop and friend of King Dagobert II of the Frankish realm of Austrasia. Arbogast, originally called Arascach, was born in Aquitaine, France, and lived as a hermit in the German forest. He then moved to Alsace, becoming a friend of Dagobert II, who had been protected by the High King of Ireland and now occupied the throne of his former enemy, Childeric II. He appointed Arbogast archbishop of Strasbourg. Arbogast is reported as having raised up the son of the king after the child was killed in an accident. When Arbogast was dying in 678, he requested burial in the cemetery used for criminals. His grave was so popular that a church was erected on the site.


Saints GRIMOALD, prêtre, chapelain de sainte Renelde, et GONDULPHE, serviteur de sainte Renelde, martyrs avec sainte Renelde par la main des Frisons païens au Laubecq en Hainaut (680).

L'icône de la Mère de Dieu "TCHOUKHLOMSKAÏA" ou "GALITCHSKAÏA" (Russie 1350). (Autre commémoration le 28 mai.) 

The Chukhloma Icon of the Mother of God of Galich appeared in the year 1350 to St Abraham of Galich, who came there from the north for ascetical labors with the blessing of St Sergius of Radonezh. On the wild shores of the Galich lake near the large mountain, hidden in the dense forest, he turned with prayer to the Mother of God, asking Her blessing for his endeavors. After completing his prayer the saint sat down to rest, and suddenly a bright light appeared on the nearby mountainside and he heard a voice: “Abraham, come up the mountain, where there is an icon of My Mother.”
The monk went up the mountain where the light shone, and indeed found an icon of the Mother of God with the Infant on a tree. With tenderness and in gratitude to God, the holy ascetic took the revealed icon and, strengthened by prayers to the Most Holy Theotokos, he built a chapel at that place, in which he put the icon.
After a certain time the Galich prince Demetrius Feodorovich, learned about the Elder’s trip, and asked him to bring the icon. St Abraham rowed across the Galich lake in a boat and, accompanied by clergy and a throng of people, he took the wonderworking icon to the cathedral church of the city of Galich.
On this day a large number of the sick were healed by this icon. When St Abraham told about the appearance of the icon, the Prince offered money to build a monastery. Soon a church was built in honor of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos, around which a monastery grew. St Abraham founded several more monasteries, the last being founded was the Chukhloma, not far from the city of Chukhloma, from the name of this monastery the ascetic was named “of Chukhloma,” and the wonderworking icon became known as the Chukhloma Icon of Galich.
The icon is also commemorated on May 28, July 4, and August 15.

Sainte SALOME, Géorgienne, martyre par la main des musulmans (XVIIIème siècle).

 
Santa Salome era una monaca di un monastero femminile presso Gerusalemme nella seconda metà del XIII secolo. La sua vicenda è narrata nelle note marginali, risalenti al XIII secolo, di un manoscritto più antico di due secoli. Secondo tale breve racconto, durante il dominio saraceno di Gerusalemme, Salome abiurò la religione cristiana per convertirsi all  islam, forse per timore delle minacce subite. Poco tempo dopo, però, riconosciuto il suo errore fece ritorno alla fede cristiana. Per tale motivo fu crudelmente torturata dai mussulmani: venne infine decapitata ed il suo corpo dato alle fiamme
Troparion 
O Christ our God, save our souls through the intercessions of thy holy martyr Salome!
There is little known about St. Salome.  In the Synaxarion of Jerusalem's Holy Cross Monastery it is written: "On this day we commemorate the martyrdom of Salome the Georgian, who at first yielded to the Persian threats and renounced Christ, but later confessed the true Faith.  For this she was beheaded and cast into flames."  It is believed that the saint was tortured in that very monastery in  approximately the years 1227-1228.

Saint ELIE CHAVCHAVADZE le Juste, écrivain et homme politique géorgien, père spirituel et docteur de son peuple, martyr assassiné par les occupants de la Géorgie (1907).
Troparion Son of the Georgian people and martyr for thy nation, most glorious Ilia the Righteous, pray to Christ God to have mercy on our souls!    
St. Ilia was born on October 27, 1837, to a noble family in the village of Qvareli in Kakheti in the Republic of Georgia.  He was educated in the law of God and the law of Georgia.  He had such a passion for learning the history and language of Georgia that he made it his goal to inspire others to learn and appreciate it.  He is known to have said, "We, the Georgian people, have inherited three divine gifts from our ancestors: our motherland, our language and our faith.  If we fail to protect these gifts, what merit will we have as men?"  Because of this zeal for the heritage of the Georgian people and the Holy Orthodox faith, a band of militants shot him to death on August 30, 1907.  St. Ilia's killers were caught and sentenced to death by hanging.  Olga, St. Ilia's wife, pleaded with the governor-general to pardon her husband's murders, calling them "unlucky brothers gone astray."  She insisted that her husband would have wanted it that way.

July 19thTroparion (Tone 3)
Thou didst lend wings to thy mind by thy love of wisdom, and wisely abandon the world's comforts. Thou wast an abode of true philosophy and by thine ascetic life thou didst become a glorious bride of the Saviour. Intercede with Him for those who cry: Rejoice, O Godbearing Macrina.

St. Macrina is another member of a wondrous family of Saints. She is the eldest sister of St. Gregory of Nyssa and St. Basil the Great. She was betrothed to a young nobleman who died before they were married. Macrina determined to maintain her virginity rightly considering her betrothal to be full and irrevocable commitment to marriage, saying: "It is a sin and a shame if the spouse does not keep faith when the partner goes to distant climes." Such was her faith in the Resurrection. She and her mother, St. Emilia, became nuns. Time passed and her mother died then her brother, Basil. Nine months after Basil reposed, Gregory visited Macrina on her deathbed in the monastery, and recorded her prayer: "Thou, O Lord, givest rest to our bodies in the sleep of death for a little time, then Thou wilt waken them again with the Last Trump. Forgive me, and grant that, when my soul is parted from my body, it may be presented before Thee." She blessed herself with the sign of the Cross and died at peace. She reposed in 379
