Orthodox icon of Saint Orestes, the Martyr of Cappadocia.

Commemorated November 10th.

The Martyr Orestes the Physician of Cappadocia lived at the end of the third century in the city of Tyana in Cappadocia in the time of the emperor Diocletian (284-311). He was an illustrious and capable soldier, and from childhood St Orestes was truly a good Christian. By order of the emperor, the military officer Maximinus was sent to Tyana to deal with Christianity, which then had spread widely throughout Cappadocia. Orestes was among the first brought to trial to Maximinus.

He bravely and openly confessed his faith in the Crucified and Risen Lord, Jesus Christ. The prosecutor offered the saint riches, honors and renown to renounce God, but St Orestes was unyielding. At the order of Maximinus, they took Orestes to a resplendent pagan temple and again demanded that he worship idols. When he refused, forty soldiers, took turns one after the other, beating the holy martyr with lashes, with rods, with rawhide, and then they tormented him with fire.

St Orestes cried out to the Lord, Establish with me a sign for good, let those who hate me see it and be put to shame (Ps. 85/86:17). And the Lord heard His true servant. The earth began to tremble, and the idols fell down and were smashed. Everyone rushed out of the temple, and when St Orestes came out, the very temple tumbled down. Infuriated, Maximinus ordered the holy martyr to be locked up in prison for seven days giving him neither food nor drink, and on the eighth day to continue with the torture.

They hammered twenty nails into the martyr's legs, and then tied him to a wild horse. Dragged over the stones, the holy martyr departed to the Lord in the year 304. His relics were thrown into the sea. In 1685, when St Demetrius, later the Bishop of Rostov, (October 28) was preparing the Life of St Orestes to be printed by the Kiev Caves Lavra, he became tired and fell asleep. The holy martyr Orestes appeared to him in a dream.

He showed him the deep wound in his left side, his wounded and severed arms, and his legs which had been cut off. The holy martyr looked at St Demetrius and said, You see, I suffered more torments for Christ than you have described. The humble monk wondered whether this was St Orestes, one of the Five Martyrs of Sebaste (December 13). The martyr said, I am not that Orestes, but he whose Life you have just finished writing.

Comfy and warm for everyday wear
Size: Medium, Color: Navy Full Zip
I bought this Fruit of the Loom Eversoft Fleece Hoodie for my husband and he realy likes how soft it feels on the inside. The fabric is thick enough to keep him warm during his morning walks but it is still breathable so he doesnt get too sweaty while he is moving around. It has that moisture-wicking feature which is great because it stays dry even when it is a bit humid outside. The fit is just right and the hood stays up good without being too tight around his neck. It is hard to find hoodies that dont pill up after the first wash but this one has held up great so far and still looks brand new. For the price it is a total steal and much better quality than some of the more expensive brands we have tried before. I will definitely be ordering a few more colors for him soon.

Thinner fabric than usual.
Size: Large, Color: Black Heather Full Zip
Good quality, but much thinner fabric than my other hoodie sweatshirts. Because of this, I have not been wearing it, but instead I've been wearing the thicker ones I already owned. This item was a good price; now I see why. It's too light for winter, and too heavy for summer. Not sure when it will be useful.
