In every family where there is no peace, where relatives constantly quarrel and scandalize each other, an icon of Guria, Samon and Aviv must definitely appear. These three holy martyrs endured incredible torment for the Christian faith at a time when the pagans were viciously persecuting those who believed in the Lord. And although they lived at different times, in the period from 293 to 322, church tradition united their names, since they all performed a feat for the glory of their faith in Jesus Christ.
Memorial Day: November 28
It depicts the icon of the saints “Samon, Guri, Aviv” appearing before us in three images: a gray-haired old man with gray hair (Guri), a middle-aged man with brown hair and a beard (Samon) and a young man (Aviv).
Prayer helpers in preserving the family
Mchch. Gury, Samon and Aviv
In our time, which is only feeling its way to the temple after almost a century of breaking down Russian piety, people come to the temple, alas, only in times of disorder, illness or family troubles. For our great-grandfathers, living in the Church was like breathing—natural from birth. Nowadays, a person is separated from the Church by the bustle of modern life, over-concern, information noise and, most importantly, the absolutely secular, non-church existence of society in the present century. Even the Monk Ambrose of Optina wrote:
“Nowadays, it seems, more than ever, those who want to live piously are surrounded by all sorts of inconveniences and difficulties. It becomes especially difficult to conduct the task of raising children in the Christian spirit and in accordance with the rules of the Holy Orthodox Church,” this is in the 19th century, to say nothing of the 21st.
But salvation is only in the Church. How to return a person to the saving fence? So the Lord helps the salvation of people by allowing them to endure family troubles, sometimes even marital infidelity, in order to stop the squirrel running in the vain wheel of life, to let them get off the carousel, look around and see themselves in God’s light, understand a lot about themselves, and turn to repentance. The Monk Mark the Ascetic said:
“It is impossible to be saved otherwise than through your neighbor, as the Lord commanded, saying: Forgive, and you will be forgiven (Luke 6:37).”
Having suffered, or even better, forgiven your neighbor who sinned against you, it is easiest to move along the path of salvation, which is what God wants. And when this happens and you come to church to pray for yourself, for your family, for the preservation of your marriage, it is worth finding (in any church there is) an icon of the holy martyrs Guria, Samon and Aviv, because they have been revered by Christians since ancient times as prayer helpers in preserving families.
Iconography: how they are depicted on icons
Holy Martyrs Gury, Samon and Aviv
There is a canon for painting icons of holy martyrs. On the icons the martyrs appear in the form of heavenly service at the Throne of the Creator, as victors and His faithful servants. They were granted this closeness to God by their persistent confession of Christ, without betraying Him in the most severe torment. Traditionally, icons of martyrs are painted using red in their vestments.
On the days of the celebration of the memory of the holy martyrs, the color red is also chosen in church veils and vestments. These days, pious parishioners wear red scarves.
Complete Lives of the Holy Martyrs and Confessors Guria, Samon and Aviv
Three of us
The martyrs Guria, Samon and Aviv are written on icons together, as having lived and suffered in the same city, and the day of their birth into eternal life, celebrated in the Church, is common - November 15 (November 28 N.S.), and they were buried together. In addition, posthumous miracles are known from their lives, in which all three of them acted as defenders of an offended and betrayed wife, therefore these three saints are revered by the Church as guardians of family and marriage.
Appearance , vestments, details
The icon traditionally depicts (usually full-length) three men, of which the eldest is Gury, then the middle one is Samon and the youngest is Aviv. Gury and Samon, who according to some sources were brothers, are depicted as elderly people with beards, while the young man Aviv is usually beardless. Gury and Samon are dressed in tunics, with red himation (capes) on top, and crosses in their hands.
Interesting fact
The cross on the icons of the martyrs symbolizes standing on the cross for faith and co-crucifixion with Christ, red is the color of shed blood, as well as the color of life, i.e. symbol of the Resurrection.
Aviv, a former deacon, is depicted in church vestments - in a surplice, with an orarion and a censer. Sometimes in his other hand he holds a box for incense - incense. The burning of fragrant incense in the temple is a symbol of prayer offered to God, just as incense smoke rises upward, so does pure prayer. Such an image on the icon confirms our confidence that the holy prayers of Guria, Samon and Aviv for us sinners reach the Lord. The Apostle Paul says: “We are a aroma of Christ to God” (2 Cor. 2:15). The saints are truly a fragrance to God, but what about us? The gospel in the hands of Abib, sometimes depicted, signifies the Word of God and the gospel of salvation in Christ Jesus.
In the Russian facial composite icon-painting original of the 18th century. The following description of the appearance of the saints is proposed:
Gury with a brad like John the Theologian or hem, and not bald, hair from the ears, robe sankir with white, middle robe cinnabar with white game is white, and the underside is green, in the hand there is a cross, the right prayer, fingers up, and Samon is Russian like Kozma, robe cinnabar with white and white azure is blank, middle azure, like the apostle is girded with the same robe, under a gaff with white and cinnabar, in his right hand there is a cross, and with his left hand he holds it outstretched, Aviv in the image like George the Martyr, in the likeness like Stephen the First Martyr, let go of his right hand to the side, holding a censer in it away from him, and an incense pot in the left.
Stamps
It happens that along the edges around the central image there are stamps - pictures from the lives of saints.
An icon is an image or a kind of “window” into the spiritual world, as if an unearthly image, and therefore, according to the Orthodox tradition, executions on icons of holy martyrs are never written naturalistically, but are presented only symbolically. Nevertheless, it is quite possible to “read” the lives of the saints from the marks, so expressively and in detail the story is told in colors.
Among the marks of the holy martyrs Guria, Samon and Aviv, you can see a story about how a certain girl Euphemia, having become the wife of a visiting foreign soldier and going with him to his homeland, was given by him there as a slave to his real pagan wife. The soldier deceived the girl and her pious mother, saying he was unmarried, and even made a vow at the grave of Guria, Samon and Aviv. For deception and betrayal, he was punished by the holy defenders of the faith. And Euphemia was miraculously delivered from torment and returned to her home as soon as she turned to her intercessors with fervent prayer.

What do martyrs pray for?
They pray to the holy martyrs Guria, Samon and Aviv, as the patrons of marriage, for marriage, for the preservation of the family, for the resolution of all kinds of family troubles.
Offended wives pray to these saints “ if the husband innocently hates his wife.”
Alas, this happens when, having lived a life and already raised children, spouses begin to move away from each other. Let’s not talk about the reasons, let’s just say that if you want to save your family, you should fervently call on the holy martyrs for help, read them an akathist, a prayer, come to church for confession and partake of the Holy Mysteries of Christ. Just be sure to add in prayer: thy will be done, Lord.
Who knows what is good for us? Only He. Perhaps this family crisis was allowed by God so that both spouses would change, take a fresh look at their lives and at each other. “To me,” “mine,” “for me” is not love. Love is a sacrifice. Bearing the infirmities of another in family life, we join in the martyrdom of the saints who endured suffering for Christ, but did not cease to thank the Lord for everything.
Brief Lives of the Saints
Mchch. Gury, Samon and Aviv
These saints lived at the end of the third and at the very beginning of the fourth century in the city of Edessa in Macedonia in northern Greece (some sources write about another city of Edessa in Antioch, but this difference does not affect the essence of the story).
Gury and Samon suffered under Diocletian, who ruled from 284. 305g each During the reign of Diocletian and then under Maximian (305 - 311), Christians were persecuted and executed with particular cruelty. Gury and Samon suffered in 306 (sometimes the year of death is indicated a little earlier - in the period from 293 to 306).
In the lives of the holy martyrs, compiled on the basis of tradition and acts of martyrdom by Saint Demetrius of Rostov (1651-1709), it is said that Gury and Samon were Christians and, burdened by their pagan surroundings, often left the city for solitary prayers. Having learned about the secret Christians, probably through a denunciation, the imperial governor of Edessa ordered the capture of Guria and Samon and forced them to sacrifice to idols. But the saints were not afraid of the pagan judgment seat and firmly confessed Christ.
For this they were sentenced to torture. The chief Muzonius, who arrived from the capital, personally headed the merciless process. The friends did not give in to persuasion, they endured the beatings steadfastly, then they were hung up, tied together, hand to hand, and a weight tied to their feet, and then they were thrown into a dark pit, their feet were driven into wooden stocks, and they were kept there without food in the dark for three months. , forcing the prisoners to lick water from the walls and collect snails.
Remembering the martyrs, Musonius again ordered them to be brought, but they could barely stand on their feet from hunger. Gury was completely weak, but Samon still held on, both did not stop praying and praising Christ. Then Guria, beaten, was again thrown into prison, and Samon was hung upside down by one leg, with a weight tied to the other. Even the guards tried to persuade him to submit, looking at the torment, but the saint prayed like this:
“O Lord my God, without whose will not a single bird will fall into the net (cf. Matt. 10:29), You have enlarged David’s heart in sorrow (Ps. 4:2), and made the prophet Daniel stronger than lions (Dan. 6: 6-18, 14:32). Knowing the weakness of our nature, see the battle rising against us; for the enemy strives to tear away Your inheritance from You; but You, having looked upon us with Your merciful eye, keep in us the unquenchable lamp of Your commandments, correct our feet with Your light and make us worthy to enjoy heavenly bliss, for blessed are You forever and ever.”
Samon's words were recorded by the secretary of the Roman court. After the torture, Samon was again thrown into the same prison with Guria. The torment of the saints ended on November 15, on that day they were again brought to Musonius.
“Who delivered these crowns to the holy martyrs if not their tormentors?”
- says Reverend Zosima. With court records and descriptions of massacres of Christians, the pedantic Roman Empire provided the Orthodox Church with a documentary basis for the canonization of martyrs - acta martyrum - acts of martyrdom.
The martyrs could no longer walk on their own; Samon was dragged under the arms of two soldiers, and Guria was brought in on a stretcher. To the new demands of the ruler to abandon the faith, Gury and Samon responded:
“Whatever you want to do, do it urgently, for we will not cease to affirm that we are slaves of our Lord Jesus Christ, we worship Him alone and reject idolatry.”
Then, in impotent rage, the torturer ordered the execution of the faithful Christians Guria and Samon. On the same day they were beheaded outside the city, their bodies thrown to be devoured by wild beasts. But the townspeople, having learned about the death of the saints, buried their remains with honor.
After several years, under another ruler of Licinia (311 - 324), who ruled the western part of the empire at the same time as the pious Constantine, the martyr Aviv suffered. Liknios trampled on the agreement on the freedom of the Christian faith and brutally dealt with Christians in his cities.
15
November
322 years
On this day the martyr Aviv suffered. This happened in the same city of Edessa, only years after the death of Guria and Samon.
Aviv was a deacon in the church that the townspeople built over the burial place of the holy remains of Guria and Samon. He brought the Gospel word to people, courageously confessing the faith of Christ and calling everyone to turn their lives to Christ.
When it was ordered to seize him, Aviv, without hiding, himself appeared at the trial. When asked to bring incense to the Roman gods, he renounced idolatry, without hesitation confessed Jesus Christ as God and spoke to everyone present about the Resurrection. Fearing the conversion of others to the faith of Christ through his ardent preaching, the ruler ordered the execution of Aviv by setting him on fire.
The martyr himself entered the flame and gave up his soul into the hands of the Lord. When the fire burned down, it turned out that the flames did not damage Aviv's body at all. His own mother, who saw her son’s suffering and strengthened him with prayer, accepted the honorable remains and, anointing him with incense, buried him along with Gury and Samon in their now common temple.
Reverence
The martyrs, having become witnesses (in Greek martyr - μάρτῠρος - witness) confirmed and testified with their blood the Truth of faith in Christ and became partakers of His Redemptive Sacrifice. “You celebrated the Eucharist in your bodies,” writes St. Cyprian of Carthage. The Orthodox Church highly honors the feat of the martyrs who became accomplices in the suffering of Christ; it is not for nothing that the Eucharist is celebrated on their relics. Every church has icons of holy martyrs. The veneration of the holy martyrs is expressed in the Church in the performance of divine services and special services on the days of their memory, in the reading of special prayers dedicated to them - canons, akathists, in the veneration of their holy icons.
Day of Remembrance
According to the Orthodox calendar, the memory of the martyrs Guria, Samon and Aviv takes place on November 28 (November 15, old style). The date is not difficult to remember - the Nativity Fast begins with the celebration of these saints.
Biography
Hagiographic sources date the martyrdom of Saints Guria, Samon and Aviv to the years 293-322. This is due to the fact that church tradition brought together saints who lived at different times. The original edition of the martyrdoms of Saints Gurias, Samon and Aviv was written in Syriac and is known from ancient Greek, Armenian and Latin translations. The Syriac text of martyrdom that has come down to us is known from a 15th-century manuscript. It mentions its author, Theophilus of Edessa, who reports about himself that he was a pagan from birth, converted to Christianity and wrote his work on the fifth day after the martyrdom of Guria and Samon. He is also the author of a separate martyrdom act of St. Aviv.
Laymen Gury and Samon suffered martyrdom during the great persecution under the Emperor Diocletian. With their start, they left their hometown of Edessa, but were captured. They tried to persuade them to make sacrifices to the pagan gods, but they refused. At the trial of the ruler of the region, the saints were tortured (they tied each other, tied a stone to their feet and left them hanging for several hours), and then returned them to prison, where they spent about three months (at Arethas of Caesarea the saints spent several years in prison, for which he calls them confessors). When they were brought back to trial, only Samon was subjected to repeated torture. Seeing the inflexibility of the saints, they were beheaded. The bodies of the martyrs were buried by local Christians.
Deacon Aviv suffered during the persecution of Emperor Licinius. A denunciation was filed against him, and at the trial the ruler of the city tried to persuade Aviv to make sacrifices to the pagan gods. After refusing to do this, Aviva was burned alive. According to the life, Aviv’s body was found unharmed by his family. They buried the saint's body in the same tomb with Gury and Samon.
Miracles
About the Goth and the Edessa girl
A Gothic warrior takes an oath before the relics of Saints Guria, Samon and Aviv (fresco, 18th century)
The most famous miracle attributed to Saints Gurias, Samon and Aviv is associated with the invasion of the Huns into Byzantium. The Life dates these events to the period of the episcopacy of the confessor Eulogius in Edessa (379-387). During the campaign, one Goth mercenary stopped in Edessa in the house of the widow Sophia. There he noticed her daughter Euphemia and began to ask her to be his wife. The mother refused, believing based on rumors that the Goth had a wife in his homeland, but the mercenary convinced her otherwise and married the girl. Before the Goth and Euphemia left Edessa, Sophia forced her son-in-law to swear fidelity to his new wife at the tomb of Saints Gurias, Samon and Aviv.
Returning home, the Goth ordered Euphemia to dress in the clothes of a maid and brought her to his house to his wife and children, announcing that he had brought a Byzantine captive. However, Euphemia gave birth to a boy, and the Goth’s wife realized that her husband had brought a concubine into the house. She poisoned the newborn. Euphemia, seeing poison on the lips of her baby, wiped it with a piece of wool and later soaked it in a goblet from which the mistress was supposed to drink. After drinking from the cup, the woman died, and the Goth's relatives blamed Euphemia for her death. According to their decision, they decided to bury her alive along with the mistress of the house. Euphemia began to pray to Saints Gurias, Samon and Aviv, and they, appearing on white horses, carried the woman to the church in Edessa.
We advise you to study Why do temptations come after good deeds?
After some time, the Goth reappeared in Edessa and came to Sophia’s house. He told her that her daughter was healthy, they lived happily and were raising a son. Then Euphemia came to him, and the Goth was forced to confess what happened in his homeland. After this, the city authorities sentenced him to death.
Test of Blessed Bread
Metropolitan Macarius (Bulgakov) reports on the letter of Archbishop John of Novgorod, issued on the occasion of the miraculous discovery of thieves who stole sacred vessels from the St. Sophia Cathedral in 1410. In it, the Novgorod bishop writes that “ God gave us the sign of the holy confessors Guria, Samon and Aviv the deacon, so that by God’s grace many who are right turn out to be right, and the guilty are subject to execution.”
"
Archbishop John wrote the “ Decree on proskomsis to the holy three confessors
,” which provides details of this ritual:
- a special cross-shaped prosphora was made;
- Particles with prayers were removed from it, among which stands out a petition to the confessors: “ do your miracle for those who come to you with faith, help the perilous, expose the guilty, close the throats of the mischievous
”; - commemoration of the proskomedia by the names of those who are to be tested with the prosphora.
Macarius (Bulgakov) writes that this is a private order of the archbishop, and the chronicles do not confirm that this custom was used for a long time in Novgorod.

Family life does not hinder holiness
The Holy Fathers say that even in the world, living an ordinary family life, it turns out that you can reach the heights of holiness and comfortably enter the Kingdom of Heaven. You just need to treat your family with patience and love, not grumble in adversity, and thank God for everything. This is what Simeon the New Theologian says about the saving feat of martyrdom:
“...You yourself, if you want, can go through the feat of martyrdom every day, like the martyrs, you can suffer and endure for Christ every day, every night and every hour. How can this be? If you also establish a war with our mental enemies - demons, and always resist sin and your passionate will. They resisted the tormentors, but you resist the demons and destructive passions of the flesh, which tyrannically rush upon our soul every day, every night and every hour and force us to do what is not in accordance with godliness and which angers God. So, if we resist all this, do not listen to the advice of evil demons and do not do the will of the flesh and thoughts and feed it with the satisfaction of its disorderly lusts, then, in all fairness, we too will be martyrs, fighting against sin.”
Holy martyrs Gury, Samon and Aviv, strengthen us on this path with your prayers.

Prayer for self-love. How to learn to love yourself? How to find a loved one and true love?
These questions are quite common and it is important to understand them. Let's start with the last one
Love is something that finds you, rather than you finding it. That is, there is no answer to the question: “Where can I find it?” You need to stay put and just live. Of course, he strives for something, for example, learning to love himself. She herself finds us at the right moment.
How to learn true self-love? The answer is also obvious. The Gospel says a little about love for God (“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself”). The rest of the Gospel is devoted to the question: “How to love yourself?” Open the Gospel and start reading. It is through this prism that you look at these lines that you will read, and you will see that those who hunger and thirst for truth are blessed - what is this about? It's about, this is how you should be. This is how you should respect and value yourself. Blessed, merciful, meek...this is how you should treat yourself, first of all. This is how you should be. Must have these qualities. Looking through this lens, you will see that a lot has been said about this. As Christ said: “A hair will not fall from your head without the will of your Heavenly Father.” “Are not two birds valued by a single assar; and not one of them will fall to the earth without your Father.” What does this mean? This is about how you should value yourself. It's about love too. Look at the image of Christ when you read the Gospel. This is an example of love, including for yourself. This is how a person should be. This is an absolute ideal. It is no longer possible to think of anything higher than this. We need to take an example from him. See how he overcomes this or that, how he behaves in certain circumstances, what his inner image is. This is about self-love.
