Pontian New Martyrs, Eternal Memory!!

Post by Monarhist »

Thank you for the information. Now, can you or anyone kindly indicate to me where one may obtain info. on the New Martyrs of Greece martyred by the sons-of-perdition---the Communists --during the Civil War in Greece ( 1940s) ?? I do remember reading some time ago that just as in Russia, the Communists of Greece savagely killed some priests, and monks as they attempted (and nearly succeeded ) in taking over Greece. I recall recently reading , in fact,about one Greek new martyr priest, killed by the reds,but i forgot his name.. asking prayers, nikolai PS Also, I recall reading not too long ago re how Greek women-partisans (communists ) forced themselves onto Mount Athos (during the Civil War) and proceeded to dance arrogantly around some Orthodox churches... A monk writes that when these women were dying in later years, they suffered immensely as their souls were leaving their bodies!!!
