Saints of the Day

St. Agathonicus was a citizen of Nicomedia and a Christian by faith. With
great zeal he converted the Hellenes from idolatry and instructed them in
the true Faith. By order of Emperor Maximian, the emperor's deputy
cruelly persecuted the Christians. During the persecution, the deputy
captured St. Zoticus in a place called Carpe, crucified his disciples and
brought Zoticus to Nicomedia where he also captured and bound St.
Agathonicus, Princeps, Theoprepius, (Bogoljepa), Acindynus,
Severianus, Zeno and many others. Securely bound, they were all taken to
Byzantium. However, along the way, Saints Zoticus, Theoprepius and
Acindynus died of their many wounds and exhaustion. They killed
Severianus near Chalcedon and, Agathonicus with the others were taken
to Thrace to the town of Silybria where, after torture before the emperor
himself, they were beheaded and entered into eternal life and into the joy
of their Lord.

Matushka Jeannette (Terri)
Lived her life in the love of God,
her family and the Church

MEMORY ETERNAL

Matushka Jeannette T. Seamore

Matushka Terri Seamore, Wife of Father Gabriel Seamore, fell asleep in the
Lord at 7:25 PM on Thursday, July 29, 2010 after a long illness. May God
give her eternal rest, where there is neither sickness, suffering, sorrow,
nor pain.

Terri had suffered for many years from complications of Systemic Lupus
and congestive heart failure. She spent the last four months at Kaiser
Foundation Hospital in Fontana battling for her life. Her will to live was as
great as her faith in God and her love for her husband and children.
During the last ten years she was hospitalized on numerous occasions.

Terri was born in Cohoes, New York, on October 5, 1947. She and Father
Gabriel were married on December 19, 1970 at Saint Andrew*s Russian
Byzantine Church in El Segundo, California. She is survived by her
Husband, and two children, Gabriel Joseph and Theresa Nicole. She will
be sorely missed by her family and all the members of her parish family at
Saint George the Great Martyr in Hesperia, California. It was because of
her dedication, love and devotion that Saint George has been completely
restored and is a thriving community of Orthodox worshipers.

May God grant that her Memory be Eternal.
