Orthodox icon of Saint Andrew the Apostle.

Commemorated November 30.

The Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called was the first of the Apostles to follow Christ, and he later brought his own brother, the holy Apostle Peter, to Christ (John 1:35-42). The future apostle was from Bethsaida, and from his youth he turned with all his soul to God. He did not enter into marriage, and he worked with his brother as a fisherman. When the holy Prophet, Forerunner and Baptist John began to preach, St Andrew became his closest disciple. St John the Baptist himself sent to Christ his own two disciples, the future Apostles Andrew and John the Theologian, declaring Christ to be the Lamb of God.

After the Descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles, St Andrew went to the Eastern lands preaching the Word of God. He went through Asia Minor, Thrace, Macedonia, he reached the River Danube, went along the coast of the Black Sea, through Crimea, the Black Sea region and along the River Dniepr he climbed to the place where the city of Kiev now stands. He stopped overnight on the hills of Kiev. Rising in the morning, he said to those disciples that were with him: See these hills? Upon these hills shall shine forth the beneficence of God, and there will be a great city here, and God shall raise up many churches.

The apostle went up around the hills, blessed them and set up a cross. Having prayed, he went up even further along the Dniepr and reached a settlement of the Slavs, where Novgorod was built. From here the apostle went through the land of the Varangians towards Rome for preaching, and again he returned to Thrace, where in the small village of Byzantium, the future Constantinople, he founded the Church of Christ. The name of the holy Apostle Andrew links the mother, the Church of Constantinople, with her daughter, the Russian Church. On his journeys the First-Called Apostle endured many sufferings and torments from pagans: they cast him out of their cities and they beat him. In Sinope they pelted him with stones, but remaining unharmed, the persistant disciple of Christ continued to preach to people about the Savior.

Through the prayers of the Apostle, the Lord worked miracles. By the labors of the holy Apostle Andrew, Christian Churches were established, for which he provided bishops and clergy. The final city to which the Apostle came was the city of Patra, where he was destined to suffer martyrdom. The Lord worked many miracles through His disciple in Patra. The infirm were made whole, and the blind received their sight. Through the prayers of the Apostle, the illustrious citizen Sosios recovered from serious illness; he healed Maximilla, wife of the governor of Patra, and his brother Stratokles.

The miracles accomplished by the Apostle and his fiery speech enlightened almost all the citizens of the city of Patra with the true Faith. Few pagans remained at Patra, but among them was the prefect of the city, Aegeatos. The Apostle Andrew repeatedly turned to him with the words of the Gospel. But even the miracles of the Apostle did not convince Aegeatos. The holy Apostle with love and humility appealed to his soul, striving to reveal to him the Christian mystery of life eternal, through the wonderworking power of the Holy Cross of the Lord. The angry Aegeatos gave orders to crucify the apostle. The pagan thought he might undo St Andrew's preaching if he were to put him to death on the cross. St Andrew the First-Called accepted the decision of the prefect with joy and with prayer to the Lord, and went willingly to the place of execution.

In order to prolong the suffering of the saint, Aegeatos gave orders not to nail the saint's hands and feet, but to tie them to the cross. For two days the apostle taught the citizens who gathered about. The people, in listening to him, with all their souls pitied him and tried to take St Andrew down from the cross. Fearing a riot of the people, Aegeatos gave orders to stop the execution. But the holy apostle began to pray that the Lord would grant him death on the cross. Just as the soldiers tried to take hold of the Apostle Andrew, they lost control of their hands. The crucified apostle, having given glory to God, said: Lord Jesus Christ, receive my spirit.

 Then a blazing ray of divine light illumined the cross and the martyr crucified upon it. When the light faded, the holy Apostle Andrew had already given up his holy soul to the Lord. Maximilla, the wife of the prefect, had the body of the saint taken down from the cross, and buried him with honor. A few centuries later, under the emperor Constantine the Great, the relics of the holy Apostle Andrew were solemnly transferred to Constantinople and placed in the church of the Holy Apostles beside the relics of the holy Evangelist Luke and St Paul's disciple St Timothy.

Great color saturation
I have only used this a couple of times and was concerned about the dull colors when it printed out. But the listing warns you about that so I went ahead and pressed it. Perfect! Bold colors and high quality images. Plus, filling my printer only took a little over half the bottles. Great value for the money and I will definitely be ordering again.

Superior Customer Service; 100% prefect and functional, BUT...
Number of Items: 2
This product fits perfectly, after all it's just a simple piece replacement. The big deal is the counter reset, and this is where Customer Service outstands. People complaints about the difficulty of following the reset instructions, and with reason, as they are lengthy. But that is the printer you have, that is Epson's product. You either send the printer to them and pay the premium fee, or do it yourself, but you have to play their game. This is not Seller's fault; on the contrary, Seller put all their effort to include each and every steps you need to fix the problem, no matter what printer model you have. They included most, If not all, printer models you may have. They provided super detailed instructions to ensure your success; keys where needed, no keys where not needed, printer drivers location to download and ensure the resetter will work and, best of all, support if you need it. You have to contact them through Amazon asking for the user's manual (instructions; yes, the lengthy ones), the reset program and the reset keys if applicable (this depends on you printer model; some need the reset keys, some do not). And this is where you get concerned: When are they going to answer, now that my printer is locked? You think (I did): it is weekend, they will probably answer Monday or maybe Tuesday (after all, that already have the money, why care?). Well, I was absolutely wrong, they answered during the weekend with all necessary to have the printer back, up and running; Thank You. Some tips: 1. There is nothing wrong with the software (if got from a reputable source, and they for sure are), so get it without concerns. 2. Get the printer driver as advised; it is quite probable that the software will not work if you don't install the correct driver; don't forget to restart the computer after the driver installation. 3. Make sure your printer is set up with the USB connection Enabled (mine was disabled and that caused a headache: ET-4800). 4. When the resetter instructions call for Initialize the Counters, don't do it, not yet; select Check instead, just above Initialize. If you cannot read (Check) the counters, you will not be able to Initialize them: fix the connection problem first (make sure you installed the printer driver and RESTART the computer, make sure you enabled the USB connection in the printer, and make sure the usb cable is correctly connected). It's not Seller's fault to make long and complicated instructions, that is actually their effort to make sure you have all you need to succeed. Buy with confidence, this works: if you cannot make it work, you may find someone you trust to help you out (your kids or grandkids know a lot for sure), or just let Seller know, they are willing to help you out. Best regards.
