Martyrs Ermila and Stratonika (c. 315).
The Holy Martyrs Hermil and Stratonik, by origin Slavs, lived at the beginning of the 4th century, under the persecution of Christians by the emperor Licinius (307-324), and were friends.
Saint Ermil served as a deacon in the city of Singidon (Belgrade). Condemned by Licinius to imprisonment, he was long and cruelly tormented for the Name of Christ, but remained adamant.
Saint Stratonikos was a prison guard and a secret Christian. Seeing the terrible suffering of his friend, he could not help crying and found himself a Christian. He was also tortured. After the tortures, the martyrs were sewn up in nets and thrown into the Danube. On the third day, the bodies of the saints were found by Christians on the banks of the river and buried near Singidon. Their honest heads were in the church of St. Sophia in Constantinople, where in 1200 they were seen by the Russian pilgrim Anthony.
Venerable Irinarkh, a recluse of Rostov (1616).
The Monk Irinarkh, a recluse of Rostov, was born into a peasant family in the village of Kondakovo, Rostov district. In Baptism he received the name Elijah. In the 30th year of his life, the saint was tonsured a monk at the Rostov Borisoglebsky Monastery. There he began to work diligently in monastic deeds, attended church services, prayed at night and slept on the ground.
Once, taking pity on a wanderer who had no shoes, Saint Irinarch gave him his boots and from then on began to walk barefoot in the cold. The abbot did not like this behavior of the ascetic; and he began to humble him, forcing him to stand for two hours in the frost in front of his cell or ring the bell tower for a long time. The saint endured everything with patience and did not change his behavior. The abbot continued to be hard-hearted, and the monk was forced to transfer to the Avramiev Epiphany Monastery, where he was accepted into the ranks of the brethren and was soon appointed cellarer.
The monk fulfilled his obedience with zeal, grieving that the brethren of the monastery and the ministers did not protect the property of the monastery, squandering it without measure. Once, in a dream, he saw the Monk Avramius of Rostov (Comm. 29 October), who comforted him and blessed him to distribute what he needed to everyone without embarrassment. Once, during the singing of the Cherubim, the Monk Irinarch sobbed loudly. To the archimandrite's question, he replied: "My mother has passed away!" Leaving Avramiev Monastery, the Monk Irinarkh moved to the Rostov Monastery of St. Lazarus, settled in a secluded cell and lived there for three years in cramped conditions and hunger.
Here he was visited by Blessed John the Holy Fool, nicknamed the Big Cap. The saints strengthened each other with spiritual conversation. The elder, however, had a desire to return to his original monastery, the Borisoglebsky Monastery. He was received back with love by the builder Varlaam and began to labor even more severely in the monastery. Secluded in the gate, the ascetic with an iron chain chained himself to wooden chair, imposed on himself heavy chains and crosses. For this, he endured bitterness and ridicule from the monastic brethren.
At that time, he was visited by an old friend, Blessed John the Holy Fool, who predicted the Lithuanian invasion of Moscow. For 25 years the Monk Irinarkh spent shackled with chains and chains in hard labors. His exploits denounced those who lived negligently in the monastery, and they lied to the abbot that the elder teaches not to go to monastic work, but to strive like him. The hegumen believed the slander and expelled the holy elder from the monastery.
Having humbly submitted, the Monk Irinarch again went to Rostov and lived in the monastery of St. Lazarus for one year. Meanwhile, the hegumen of Borisoglebsk repented of his deed and sent monks for the Monk Irinarch. He returned, reproaching himself that he does not live like the brethren, who carry out righteous labors, of which he is deprived. The monk continued to wear his heavy chains and, laboring, made clothes for the poor, knitted hair scrolls and hoods.
He slept only one or two hours at night, the rest of the time he prayed and beat his body with an iron stick. Saint Irinarchus had a vision that Lithuania would capture Moscow, and the churches would be destroyed in places. He began to weep bitterly about the impending disaster, and the abbot ordered him to go to Moscow and warn Tsar Vasily Ivanovich Shuisky (1606-1610) about the impending disaster. The Monk Irinarch fulfilled his obedience.
He refused the gifts offered to him and, returning, began to earnestly pray that the Lord would have mercy on the Russian land. Enemies came to Russia, began to conquer cities, beat the inhabitants, plundered monasteries and churches. False Dmitry and the second impostor sought to conquer Russia to the Polish king. The Borisoglebsky Monastery was also captured by enemies, who entered the holy recluse and were surprised at the direct and bold speeches of the elder, who predicted their death.
Sapega, who stopped at the Borisoglebsky Monastery, wished to see an old man sitting in chains, and was surprised at such a feat. When the pans who had come with Sapega told him that the elder was praying for Shuisky, the monk boldly said: "I was born and baptized in Russia, I pray for the Russian Tsar and God." Sapega answered: "The truth is great in the father - in which land to live, that land to serve." After that, the Monk Irinarkh began to persuade Sapieha to leave Russia, predicting his death otherwise.
The Monk Irinarch followed the course of the war and sent Prince Dimitry Pozharsky his blessing and prosphora. He ordered him to go near Moscow, predicting: "You will see the glory of God." To help Pozharsky and Minin, the monk gave his cross. With the help of God, the Russians conquered Lithuania, Prince Pozharsky took control of the Kremlin, and peace gradually began to settle in the Russian land.
Elder Irinarkh still continually prayed to God with tears for the deliverance of Russia from enemies and, having the power to work miracles, healed the sick and demon-possessed. The day of death was revealed to him, and, having called his disciples, Alexander and Cornelius, he began to give them instructions and, having said goodbye to everyone, quietly departed to the Lord into eternal rest (+ January 13, 1616). After the holy elder, there were 142 copper crosses, seven shoulder chains, a chain of 20 fathoms, which he wore around his neck, iron leg fetters, eighteen hand shackles, "ties" that he wore on his belt, weighing a pood, and an iron stick, which he beat his body and drove out demons. In these works, as the elder called them, he lived for 38 years, lived in the world for 30 years, and died at the age of 68.
After the death of the Monk Irinarkh, many miracles were performed at his tomb, especially the healing of the sick and demon-possessed during the laying on them of the crosses and chains of the holy ascetic.

* Martyrs Ermila and Stratonika (c. 315). * Rev. Irinarkh, a recluse of Rostov (1616). * Rev. Eleazar of Anzersky (1656). Martyrs Yermil and Stratonik Martyrs Yermil and Stratonik, according to some, were Slavs and friends among themselves. Yermil had the rank of deacon. They lived at the beginning of the 4th century, under the emperor Licinius, the persecutor of Christians. At this time, anyone who pointed out which of the Christians pleased the king and received a reward from him. So it was pointed out to the tsar against Yermila, and he was brought to trial. "Is it true that you are a Christian?" Licinius asked the martyr. “Not only a Christian, but I also serve the invisible God in the rank of deacon,” he replied. “So be a deacon with our gods!” - said the king. “I told you, king, that I serve the invisible God, and not those soulless idols that you bow to. They should be despised, not served,” the saint answered. The king became angry and ordered to beat him on the cheeks with special copper tools and then put him in prison so that he would come to his senses. Going to the dungeon, St. the martyr sang: “The Lord is for me, I will not be afraid: what will a man do to me?” (Ps. 117:6). In prison, an angel appeared to him and said: “Do not be afraid, Yermil, you will defeat the tormentor’s machinations and for that you will receive a bright crown from God.” Reverend Irinarch The Monk Irinarkh was the son of a peasant and was engaged in trade. Being 30 years old, he took the vows as a monk in the Rostov Boriso-Gleb Monastery. He began to walk barefoot and in rags. In order to force him to walk, as all monks do, the rector ordered that he be locked in a cold cell for several days and sent to ring the bell tower in severe frosts. Irinarch endured everything with patience and thanked God. For three years he labored in seclusion. From here he returned to the monastery with chains on his shoulders and fetters on his legs, chained himself to a chair with an iron chain, attached more than 100 crosses to the chains, and in this position began to ascetic. He slept only two hours a day, and spent the rest of the time in prayer and needlework; The money earned for his work was given to the poor. God has honored the holy gift of clairvoyance. He predicted the invasion of the Poles in 1609. "Who do you recognize as king?" asked St. Irinarha the leader of the Poles Mikulsky. “I am Russian, and I recognize only the Russian Tsar, and I don’t know others,” he answered, so that the Poles were surprised at his courage and left him alone. St. Irinarch blessed PRINCE Pozharsky to fight the Poles and gave him his cross. He labored for 38 years and died 68 years of age, in 1616. He was buried in the monastery, in a grave dug out by himself, from which many sick people receive healing. Venerable Eleazar of Anzer The Monk Eleazar of Anzersk was the son of a Kozelsk merchant. In his youth, he took the vows as a monk in the Solovetsky Monastery. For a solitary life, he retired to Anzersky Island, 20 versts from the Solovetsky Monastery, and spent time in strict fasting and constant prayer. He ate from needlework. In 1616, he settled in a cell near the church of St.. Nicholas, at the salting houses. Zealots of a solitary life began to gather here for him, and he arranged cells for them, and thus a skete was founded. The devil tempted St. Eleazar. Orthodox and Church holidays in January. Today, January 26, 2018, we also celebrate International Customs Day and other events. The folk holiday Yermilov Day is celebrated on January 26, 2018 (according to the old style - January 13). in church Orthodox calendar this is the date of commemoration of the martyrs Ermil and Stratonik of Sinigidon (Belgrade). At the end of the 3rd - beginning of the 4th centuries, during the reign of King Licinia, deacon Yermil served in the city of Singidon (now Belgrade). He preached the Word of God and was steadfast in his faith. When the tsar found out about his activities, he ordered Yermila to be imprisoned. Tortured but not abandoned intkbbee faith, he was drowned in the Danube. In prison, Yermila was guarded by Stratonik. He was his friend and secret Christian. Watching the torture and torture of Yermila, Stratonik shed tears. These tears were the reason that he was caught in the Christian faith, subjected to similar torture and also drowned in the river. After 3 days, Christians found their bodies on the banks of the river and buried them near the city. The holiday is traditionally celebrated at home due to the severe frost that always strikes on this day. According to legend, if a person spends it warm, he will not get sick, but if he goes out into the cold, he will catch the disease. Much attention is paid to cats on Yermilov Day. It is believed that they can cure the disease. If the patient sits where this pet likes to lie, then he will recover. If the child does not sleep well, then before going to bed they put a cat in his bed. According to legend, after this, the baby should sleep sweetly all year. In the place that the cat does not like, it is not advisable to put a bed or a table. This place is considered "rotten and perilous". It is forbidden to work on Yermilov Day. Time is spent for entertainment and observation of signs. If on this day the cat curls up in a ball, frost will strike. If she began to scratch the walls or floor, then wait for a blizzard, and if she decided to stretch, warming. If on this day a person kills a cat, then 7 misfortunes await him. If at night the circle around the moon glows, then a blizzard will soon swirl. If the forest is noisy on Yermila, it will soon get warmer. If on this day the trees in the forest crackled, then frosts will soon hit. If the dog curls up into a ball, then the cold will not recede. If she fell asleep near the booth, it means that heat is approaching. If on Yermilov's day the titmouse began to chirp under the window, then spring will come into its own early. International Customs Day is a professional holiday for customs specialists. In 2018, it is celebrated on January 26th. Employees of customs services, former employees of this structure, students of the specialty "Customs" take part in the celebrations. International Customs Day was founded in 1983.

This organization contributes to the strengthening and streamlining of economic ties between states.

On January 26, 1788, a captain named Arthur Philip landed in Sydney Harbor and raised British flag. Thus, he founded the first colony - New South Wales. This celebration is the most beloved day of all Australians. All over the country one can see the landing of the first fleet and numerous parades.
