May 7 – what is the holiday in the church calendar today

May 7 in the church calendar is the day of memory of the martyr Savva Stratilat . He lived in Rome during the reign of the pagan emperor Aurelian. He had a military (stratilatian) rank, came from a Gothic tribe and was a faithful Christian. Secretly he visited his brothers in Christ, especially those who were in prison. He also helped the needy, the poor, the sick. For his purity and piety, he received from the Lord the ability to work miracles, cast out demons, and heal. However, one day the emperor found out about the Christian governor and asked him to renounce his faith. But Savva stood his ground. For this he was tortured for a long time. However, he endured all the torture. Then they decided to drown him in the Tiber River. It happened in 272.
