| ID | Title | E03691 | The Church Calendar of Ioane Zosime, compiled in Georgian in the 10th century, based however on 5th-7th c. prototypes from Jerusalem, commemorates on 27 March *Isaac (Old Testament patriarch, S00276) and *Matrona (martyr of Thessalonike S01605). | E08063 | Miracle 5 of the First Collection of Miracles of *Demetrios (martyr of Thessalonike, S00761) by Archbishop Ioannes/John of Thessalonike quotes a letter by which Archbishop Eusebios of Thessalonike refused to send relics of Demetrios to the emperor Maurice (582-602), claiming that Thessalonike ignored the locations of burials of its martyrs, except for that of *Matrona (martyr of Thessalonike, S01605). A similar request by Justinian I (527-565) caused miraculous resistance by the martyr. Dust with Demetrios’ blood is sent instead to the emperors. Written in Greek in Thessalonike (south Balkans), in the 610s. |
