calendar.of.lgbt.saints If I had restricted the list to known lesbians, gays and bisexuals, or those reasonably able to be fit into such a category, many of the figures would still be on the list. Polyeuctus and St. Nearchus, martyrs Two early martyrs who were paired together by early Christians as a same-sex couple, and invoked as such in the "adelphopoiia" ceremonies, recently discussed by historian John Boswell as indicating a Christian tradition of exclusive and publicly recognized same-sex unions. Many of the saints listed were "transgendered" in some way - and while this is certainly not the same as "gay or lesbian" - there is some connection. www.qrd.org /qrd/religion/judeochristian/calendar.of.lgbt.saints   (13342 words)

Lecture: March 23 and 25 Other saints: *Constantine and Helena with the True Cross (for which the Orthodox Church honors them as saints), accompanied by other female saints (*slide), who are, in fact, in a very limited category (other categories of saints: military, physicians/healers, bishops/church fathers, hermits such as St. Simeon the Stylite (*slide), apostles, various martyrs, etc.). Depending on the architectural space, the artist may elect to represent the saints full-length, half-length, or in medallions ( clipei), but tends to group them according to category (*Theodore Studites from the katholikon -- monastery church -- at Nea Moni, where his monastic vocation is celebrated). Note too, in comparing the representation of the Anastasis at Nea Moni, at H. Loukos, and at Daphni, the range in details of the iconography here, an indicator of the way in which Byzantine artists can play variations on a single theme. www.uky.edu /Classes/A-H/322/mar2325.htm   (13342 words)

Debunking the Genocide Myth -- Chapter 11 When Kogon said "so that we would not all be made martyrs," he was referring, of course, only to the privileged prisoners among the Haeftlingsfuehrung, and not to all of the politicals who, in spite of what has been said, made up the majority of the prison population. But, he was a "green", and he represented one of the last elements of power which his category still held in the camp. Kogon's praise for their refusal to use the brothel in order to avoid its "corrupting" influence becomes hollow when it appears that -- instead of normal sexual relations -- numerous politicals preferred the corruption of the young boys in the camp. www.ihr.org /books/rassinier/debunking2-11.html   (12840 words)

The Booby Prize Metric Martyrs have decided to create an annual award....'THE BOOBY PRIZE' which will be awarded to the highest polling political candidate for the biggest boob, or the one that has made the biggest t*t of him/herself in the political arena.

OpinionJournal - Featured Article Suicide bombing falls within the category that is forbidden (haram). Thus "martyr-like," the ersatz in place of the real, is used to circumvent the impossibility of regarding suicide bombers as martyrs in Islam. Many Arab television channels have enlisted their resources in the battle for the hearts and minds of the Arab world, presenting self-styled sheikhs who use sophistry to bestow religious authority on a cynical political strategy. www.opinionjournal.com /editorial/feature.html?id=110001677   (972 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Coliseum Thus at a moment when the Coliseum stood in grave danger of demolition it was saved by the pious belief which placed it in the category of monuments dearest to Christians, the monuments of the early martyrs. Lanciani attributes the collapse of the western portion of the shell to the earthquake of September, 1349, mentioned by Petrarch.

-- Beliefnet.com Passion bearer is a special category of Orthodox sainthood, applied to those who, strictly speaking, were not martyrs, because martyrdom requires that the martyr made a choice between rejecting Christ and dying for him. Passion bearers are instead revered for the humble way in which they met an imminent death. Saints Boris and Gleb, Russia's first saints, were canonized as passion bearers in 1015 because they did not fight their cousins who conspired to kill them over the Kiev throne. www.beliefnet.com /story/27/story_2748_2.html   (1835 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Latin Literature in Early Christianity The oldest Christian document of Africa, the Acts of the Scillitan Martyrs, was translated into Greek, as were some of the works of Tertullian, perhaps by the author himself, and certainly with the object of securing for them a wider diffusion. In this category must be placed the most ancient Christian documents written in Latin, the translations of the Bible made either in Africa or in Italy. Early Christian literature in the West may be regarded as ending with the accession of Theodoric (408). www.newadvent.org /cathen/09023a.htm   (3608 words)

Abstracts of Papers The patterns of segmentation in these two sources allow the classes of proclitics and enclitics to be clearly established with some innovative tendencies, provide plausible evidence for primary and secondary stresses in a range of compound words, and suggest that the traditional prosodic category of “enclinomena” was no longer clearly distinct. Although they gained a wide following among the East Slavs very early, their Rus and Byzantine cults were far from identical, as the princes of Rus seem to have been much more devoted to the saints as warriors than as martyrs. I believe the condition of research on patron saints of members of the Rurikovich house proves there is a need for a holistic, systematic study of the problem and should comprise comparative material from Byzantium, Bulgaria and other countries, for instance Hungary. userweb.port.ac.uk /~cleminsr/abstract.htm   (12840 words)

Idle Mendacity: 87 Years Ago Today... The Orthodox Church of Russia canonized the Imperial Family as saints in the category of "passion-bearers" - that is they had suffered with Christian forbearance and were willing to give the sacrifice of their lives for Russia, for their faith, and for the good of all men. A church in honor of the Royal Martyrs now stands on the site of that pit their bodies were flung into and buried in for all those years. In a cellar in Ekaterinburg, Russia, in a building called "The House of Special Purpose" by its soviet overseers, one of the most brutal and cold-blooded mass murders in history, Emperor Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra, their 5 young children and three loyal servants were massacred by the Bolsheviks with a volley of gunfire. idlemendacity.blogspot.com /2005/07/87-years-ago-today.html   (912 words)

Church Agrees to Canonize Nicholas II Sources in the Moscow Patriarchate said that even two icons of New Martyrs of Russia were commissioned for the canonization rite that is to take place Sunday: one with the imperial family and the other without. In an attempt to strip the issue of its political connotations, the Council of Bishops decided to canonize the imperial family under the special category of "passion bearers" — monarchs who did not rebel against their politically motivated killing but faced their imminent death with humility. After eight years of debate, which at times threatened to split the Russian Orthodox Church, the church’s top body voted unanimously Monday to canonize Tsar Nicholas II, his wife and their five children. www.mail-archive.com /msa_ec@listbot.com/msg00409.html   (912 words)

Catholic Encyclopedia: THE COLISEUM Thus at a moment when the Coliseum stood in grave danger of demolition it was saved by the pious belief which placed it in the category of monuments dearest to Christians, the monuments of the early martyrs. The Coliseum, known as the Flavian Amphitheatre, commenced A.D. by Vespasian, the first of the Flavian emperors, dedicated by Titus A.D. The great structure rises in four stories, each story exhiting a different order of architecture; the first Doric, the second Ionic, the third Corinthian, the fourth composite. The site was originally a marshy hollow, bounded by the Caelian, the Oppian, the Velian and the Palatine Hills, which Nero had transformed into the fishpond of his Golden House. www.greatestbooks.org /studentlibrary/cathencyclopaedia/index/c/coliseum.htm   (912 words)
