Holy Martyr and Confessor Michael and Theodore, Wonderworkers of Chernigov
Today we remember Holy Right-believing Prince Michael of Chernigov and his faithful councilor Theodore. Both stood firm in their Christian faith during the difficult times of the Mongol invasion and paid with their lives rather than deny Christ. Prince Michael was known for his piety and meekness from childhood. Despite poor health, he was healed through the prayers of Saint Niketas the Stylite. As a prince, Michael sought justice and peace, but when faced with demands to worship pagan gods, he and Theodore chose to suffer martyrdom instead.
