I was recently commissioned to translate some profound and inspiring works by our Righteous Father Alexei Mechev, which I put together in a booklet. Unfortunately, after printing 500 copies, circumstances changed and the one who commissioned the work has been hospitalized and called off the purchase. Since I am at an unforeseen personal loss with this, I wanted to make these never before translated texts available to my followers for only $11.95 a copy, which includes shipping and handling in the United States (orders outside the US, please use a pay button towards the bottom of this page and include $5 for a total of $16.95). I would like to sell all of these as quick as possible, and it would be great reading material for the lenten season. As an added incentive, for the first 50 people who order, I will also offer a never before published text by Fr. John Romanides titled "The Canon and the Inspiration of the Holy Scripture" free of charge.

Argyro Stephanakis, a Holy Leper Who Reposed on July 12, 2014


Argyro Stephanakis was a hidden ascetic of the world who was born around 1920. After she was married and had one child, she suffered with leprosy and went to live at the leper colony on the island of Spinalonga. When the leper colony closed in 1957, she went to live in Attica at the Hospital for Infectious Diseases. This is where she met Saint Nikephoros the Leper, a fellow patient, and Saint Eumenios Saridakis, who was cured of leprosy and served as ministering priest (all three holy lepers were from Crete, as depicted in the icon above). She reposed on July 12, 2014. On July 26, 2017 the translation of her sacred relic took place, which gushed forth a heavenly fragrance, revealing the degree of her holiness.

More details to come.
