On the 12th of February, along with the dormition of Saint Meletius of Antioch (381), we celebrate also the holy Martyrdom of Saint Chris (Chrestus in Latin, Χρήστος not Χριστός, Христа in Russian) of Gebrenna of North Epirus Hellas slaughtered by the Turks on 1748. He was from the regions of Ioannina and taking for martyrdom to the Turkish pasa for his faith in Christ. ( I used to have an icon somewhere here on my pc from the net, but if anyone has one, post if possible.)
