I don't think we have something translated in Romania about Chinese martyrs. I hope will be soon.

I've just read about the Holy New Martyrs of China in an orthodox magazine in Serbian ('Svetigora'). I'm deeply moved by their testimony of faith. Many thanks for this beautiful icon.

I found on web some information:
For the first time in over than half a century in Beijing in the former bishop's quarters of the the Russian Spiritual Mission in China (RSMC) which since 1956 are located on the territory Russia's Embassy in the Peoples Republic of China services were conducted to honor the 222 Chinese martyrs executed in 1900 for the Orthodox faith during the Yihetuan Rebellion. On the morning of June 24th - on the day for observing the memory of the Chinese martyrs, priest Dionisy Pozdniaev of the Dept. of External Church Relations/MP served the Divine liturgy, according to Patriarchia.Ru.
In May 1902 decree №2874 of the Most Holy Synod established a day for celebrating the 222 Chinese martyrs. Their holy relics were placed under the altar of the temple of All Holy Martyrs which was built in the center of Mission territory. In the temple constructed in an old Russian tent-style, together with holy relics of the Chinese flock, were later buried archpastors of the Russian Orthodox Church: Metropolitan Innokenty (Figurnovsky), the chief of the XVIII Mission who built the temple of the All Holy Martyrs, Archbishop Simon (Vinogradov), the chief of the XIX Mission.

O, Holy Martyrs of China, pray to God for us!
Multumesc pentru intrebare, Catalina!

Când au fost martirizaţi aceşti sfinţi? Şi de cine? Când e ziua lor de prăznuire?

The cathedral is the one founded of Saint John Maximovitch when he was an archbishop there. Tomorrow I will post a photo with it.

Dear Vladimir, thank you for your kind message.
I asked him, sure, but he wants to stay anonimous. Your message and the ones that will follow will be touching for him, without doubt :) Pozdrav! :)

Lord, save us with their prayers! Beautiful icon. Tell your friend we invite him to open account on this site. I wonder if our friend YueAn see this.
