Tribute to a New Martyr
Our Holy Father Philoumenos of the Brotherhood of the Holy Sepulchre
written by: Sofia Kioroglou
Martyred at Jacob’s Well, 16/29 November, 1979
Dispeller of the powers of evil
You vanquished the serpent
Well done thou good and faithful servant
Because you have been faithful over little things
At the hands of your extremist assailants,
You suffered a martyred death, tortured and massacred
You have inherited the Earth and reigned in the heavens
Amongst the elders offering incense before the throne of the Lamb
