Today we celebrate the Holy New Martyr Triantafyllos. Saint Triantafyllos was only 15 years old when he was taken captive by Ottoman Muslims. Confused, he asked them why they had taken him captive without a cause. They did not answer but rather dragged him before the authorities, urging him to denounce Christ. When he heard this, he reprimanded them and said that by no means would he change his faith. He then realised his only "crime" was being a Christian. He told them that they could torture him until he could no longer stand, even kill him, but that he would never renounce Jesus. The Turks did so, granting the young Triantafyllos the crown of martyrdom. His relics soon began to exude a heavenly fragrance and were the source of many miraculous healings.
