Today is the third Tuesday after Pascha, Holy and Great Easter Sunday.
The Church today also venerates the memory of Irene the Great Martyr.
At least two churches were dedicated to St. Irene in Constantinople, and she is also the patroness of the southern Aegean island of Thera, which is commonly known as Santorini, a corruption of “St. Irene.”
Also, the Church venerates the memory of St. Ephraim of Nea Makri, a 15th century martyr and miracle-worker.
