Orthodox icon of Saint Orestes, the Martyr of Cappadocia.

Commemorated November 10th.

The Martyr Orestes the Physician of Cappadocia lived at the end of the third century in the city of Tyana in Cappadocia in the time of the emperor Diocletian (284-311). He was an illustrious and capable soldier, and from childhood St Orestes was truly a good Christian. By order of the emperor, the military officer Maximinus was sent to Tyana to deal with Christianity, which then had spread widely throughout Cappadocia. Orestes was among the first brought to trial to Maximinus.

He bravely and openly confessed his faith in the Crucified and Risen Lord, Jesus Christ. The prosecutor offered the saint riches, honors and renown to renounce God, but St Orestes was unyielding. At the order of Maximinus, they took Orestes to a resplendent pagan temple and again demanded that he worship idols. When he refused, forty soldiers, took turns one after the other, beating the holy martyr with lashes, with rods, with rawhide, and then they tormented him with fire.

St Orestes cried out to the Lord, Establish with me a sign for good, let those who hate me see it and be put to shame (Ps. 85/86:17). And the Lord heard His true servant. The earth began to tremble, and the idols fell down and were smashed. Everyone rushed out of the temple, and when St Orestes came out, the very temple tumbled down. Infuriated, Maximinus ordered the holy martyr to be locked up in prison for seven days giving him neither food nor drink, and on the eighth day to continue with the torture.

They hammered twenty nails into the martyr's legs, and then tied him to a wild horse. Dragged over the stones, the holy martyr departed to the Lord in the year 304. His relics were thrown into the sea. In 1685, when St Demetrius, later the Bishop of Rostov, (October 28) was preparing the Life of St Orestes to be printed by the Kiev Caves Lavra, he became tired and fell asleep. The holy martyr Orestes appeared to him in a dream.

He showed him the deep wound in his left side, his wounded and severed arms, and his legs which had been cut off. The holy martyr looked at St Demetrius and said, You see, I suffered more torments for Christ than you have described. The humble monk wondered whether this was St Orestes, one of the Five Martyrs of Sebaste (December 13). The martyr said, I am not that Orestes, but he whose Life you have just finished writing.

Excellent, highly absorbent, napkins for every meal
Size: 400 Count
These napkins are amazing! They are soft and plushy feeling. The absorption is incredible and they have a nice , comfortable texture for wiping your hands and face when eating. I believe these can also be used as a paper towel when needed because the absorbency is so great. I am very sensitive to scents which I pick up on more than the average person and these napkins do not have a weird smell to them . I think these are great napkins for all to enjoy. The price is very reasonable for the amount I received (400ct) 🤗❤️

Great napkins
Size: 200 Count (Pack of 1)
I keep ordering these BOUNTY PAPER NAPKINS because their versatility, durability foldability appearance and size; these are all great attributes of these napkins. I don't use them for bathroom use but on occasion I do put water on a couple of them to cool my face off which is awesome because they don't tear with that much water as I put on them. The only thing I would suggest for BOUNTY to change is the roughness and thickness of the napkins. They're a little rough not so rough to where I can't stand them but if they were just a little bit softer, not much just a tad bit. Maybe also a little bit thicker. Besides that they're awesome and worth the money
