What a church holiday tomorrow, May 30
May 30 in the church calendar – the day of memory of the apostle from 70 Andronikos. This saint believed in the Lord before the apostle Paul himself. He was a bishop in the city of Pannonia, but he often traveled to different countries and cities. He spread the Christian faith there. He read sermons together with his assistant Iunia.
During their preaching activities, Iunia and the apostle Andronicus converted many pagans to Christianity and destroyed many temples with idols. Once they were captured by infidels and tortured for a long time. They died with a prayer to Jesus Christ on their lips. Their relics were preserved incorruptible and worked miracles.
