ΑΓΙΟΣ ΕΥΣΤΡΑΤΙΟΣ (Νησί) ΒΟΡΕΙΟ ΑΙΓΑΙΟ
Στα ταραγμένα χρόνια της Εικονομαχίας, ο Όσιος Ευστράτιος ο Θαυματουργός,
διωκόμενος κατά πάσα πιθανότητα και μην αντέχοντας άλλο τη ναυτία, διέκοψε το
ταξίδι του και αποβιβάστηκε στο νησί. Μοναδικοί κάτοικοί του ένας βοσκός και ο
γιος του. Βρήκε καταφύγιο σε μια σπηλιά που και σήμερα ονομάζεται "Τ’
Αη-Στρατιού". Η πρόσβαση στο εσωτερικό της είναι δύσκολη αν όχι αδύνατη μετά
από τους σεισμούς του ’68.
Δεν είναι βέβαιο ότι ο ´Αγιος έμεινε στο νησί ως το τέλος της
ζωής του. Βέβαιο είναι όμως ότι οι ντόπιοι του απέδιδαν έναν παλιό τάφο που βρισκόταν
στο νησί, του οποίου η ταφόπλακα ήταν εντοιχισμένη μέχρι τις αρχές του αιώνα μας
στον ομώνυμο ναό. Λέγεται πάντως ότι η Κάρα του Αγίου φυλάσσεται σήμερα στη Μονή
της Μεγίστης Λαύρας του Αγίου
Όρους.

ΛΕΣΒΟΣ (Νησί) ΒΟΡΕΙΟ ΑΙΓΑΙΟ
Sts Raphael, Nicholas and Irene suffered martyrdom by the Turks on
the island of Lesvos (also called Mytilene) on April 9 1463 AD, after the fall
of Constantinople. St Raphael was the Abbot of Karyes near the village of Thermi
on the island. St Nicholas was a Deacon at the monastery, and St Irene was the
12-year-old daughter of the major of Thermi. The three saints were at the monastery
with the village teacher and St Irene?s father when the Turks raided it.
These saints were unknown for about 500 years after their martyrdoms
during the Turkish occupation of Lesvos. In 1959 the three saints appeared to
the people on Lesvos in dreams and visions. They guided excavations of their own
graves, called people to repentance, and cured many kinds of diseases. The saints
revealed how they were cruelly tortured at the monastery, calling it a "second
Golgotha" (in the words of St Raphael). St Raphael?s torture ended when his head
was sawn off. St Nicholas died of heart failure when he was being tortured. St
Irene was tortured in front of her father and burnt alive in a clay cask, where
her charred bones were later found. The teacher?s head was cut off and placed
between his legs when he was buried. A great deal of blood was shed at the monastery;
the saints were martyred for the sake of their Christian faith and Fatherland.
Found amongst these excavation was St Raphael?s round metallic Enkopion with a
low relief of Christ Pantocrator on it. Orthodox Bishops wear Enkopions externally
on the breast.
Details of the lives of these saints, and miraculous cures and visions
can be found in a book by Constantine Cavarnos titled "Saints Raphael, Nicholas
and Irene of Lesvos", Modern Orthodox Saints, vol 10. Published in 1994 (second
printing) by the Institute for Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies, 111 Gilbert

Nun and hermitess. According to tradition, she lived on the island of Lesbos in the Aegean Sea before being kidnapped by Arab raiders. They took her to the island of Paros where she escaped and lived thereafter for thirty years as a herrmitess. Discovered one day by a hunter named Simon, she begged him to return when he could with Holy Communion, a plea he fulfilled a year later after which she soon died. It is thought by scholars that the tale of the Holy Communion was based on the similar event in the life of St. Mary of Egypt.

Ο Γερμανός Καραβαγγέλης, παρά την τεράστια εθνική και εκκλησιαστική
του προσφορά, παραμένει σχεδόν άγνωστος στην πατρίδα του τη Λέσβο.
Αντίθετα, στη Δυτική Μακεδονία
όπου έδρασε μια περίοδο της ζωής τoυ, είναι γνωστός ως κεντρική μορφή του Μακεδονικού
Αγώνα. Ωστόσο, πανελλαδικά υπάρχει μια διάχυτη άγνοια αλλά και σιωπή γύρω από
τη δυνατή ιστορική προσωπικότητα του Γερμανού Καραβαγγέλη. Η Κοινότητα Στύψης,
επιχειρεί να δώσει μια λιτή χρονογραφία της ζωής και της δράσης του Μεγάλου Πατριώτη,
Μακεδονομάχου και τέκνου της Στύψης Γερμανού Καραβαγγέλη, έτσι ώστε, o αναγνώστης
να μπορεί να σχηματίσει την εικόνα αυτού του λεβέντη ρασοφόρου που ήταν ταυτόχρονα
δεινός ρήτορας, σαγηνευτικός διπλωμάτης, πανέξυπνος πολιτικός με εξαιρετική φιλοσοφική
κατάρτιση.Η τεράστια προσφορά του Γερμανού Καραβαγγέλη, άγνωστη για δεκαετίες
στο ευρύ κοινό, αρχίζει επιτέλους να γίνεται γνωστή και να αποτιμιέται όπως της
αξίζει. Εκπληρώνοντας αυτό ακριβώς το χρέος τιμής, η γενέτειρά του, οργανώνει
τις εκδηλώσεις μνήμης από το θάνατό του.

Born at an uncertain date on the Island of Chios, then under Genoese
domination; died in Chios or in Italy,
1842. He himself says he was of humble parents.
He entered the Dominican Order in Chios, and after profession was
sent to Padua for his philosophical
and theological studies. After ordination he taught at both Padua
and Genoa, then returned
to his native island, and was made Bishop of Mytilene
on the island of Lesbos by
Eugene IV.
Emperor Constantine Palaelogus had sent a request to the pope, asking
that efforts be made to effect a union between the Latin and Greek Churches: for
this purpose Leonard was selected to accompany Isidore, Cardinal-Bishop of Sabine,
to Constantinople. Some degree
of success was attained through their efforts, and a treaty was ratified in December,
1452. However, the Greeks refused the aid of the Latin troops, and in the following
year Leonard was a witness to the devastation of the city by Mohammed II. From
Chios he wrote to the pope a detailed account of the fall of Constantinople
in a letter.
He governed his diocese for the next three years, until Lesbos
also fell and he was taken captive to Constantinople.
He obtained his freedom the following year, and immediately wrote the pope a description
of the sack of his diocese. His best-known writings are the two letters mentioned
above and an apologetical tract in answer to the humanist Poggio. There is reason
to believe that many of his letters remain unedited in the Vatican
Library.

ΜΥΤΙΛΗΝΗ (Πόλη) ΛΕΣΒΟΣ
Georgius Mytilenaeus, or of Mytilene. He is the author of a homily In Salutiferam
D. N. Jesu Christi Passioneem, published by Gretser, De Cruce, vol. ii. A work
on the same subject, extant in MS. and described as by Georgins Methiminensis,
or Methinensis (of Methymna ?), has been conjectured to be the same work, but
the conjecture does not appear to be well founded. A George, Metropolitan of Mytilene,
probably the same with the subject of the present article, is the author of two
works extant in MIS., Davidis et Symeonis Confessorun et Martyrum Officium and
Eorundem Vita ac Historia. Some epigrams in praise of the writings of Dionysius
Areopagita, by Georgius Patricius, a native of Mytilene, are said by the Jesuit
Delrio (Vindiciae Areopagit. c. xxi.) to have been printed, but he does not say
where; but whether the author is the subject of the present article is by no means
clear. (Allatius, Ibid.; Fabric, Bibl. Gr. vol. xi.)
