Saint Spyridon was born in 270 AD. in the village of Assia in Cyprus by a family of shepherds, who were wealthy. Although he was well educated, he continued to be a shepherd. He married a pious wife and had a daughter. Soon, however, his wife died. To heal his wound, Spyridon devoted himself even more to the teaching of the Divine Word. After much pressure, he was ordained a priest. From this position, Spyridon went so far as to virtue, that God required him to perform many miracles. He also took part in the First Ecumenical Council, where he defeated the Martians and emerged as one of the most brilliant defenders of the Orthodox faith. He finally fell asleep in 350 AD. The Relic of the Saint is indestructible in the homonymous Temple of Corfu and its memory is honored on December 12
