今天我们纪念圣裴特若,特别敬礼圣裴特若籍之被暴君伊若德捆绑,而当天使出现在身处监牢的裴特若面前时自动脱落的锁链。“忽然有主的一位使者,站在旁边,屋里有光照耀。天使拍裴特若的肋旁,拍醒了他,说:‘快快起来。’那铁链就从他手上脱落了下来”(使徒行实/徒/宗12:7)。后来这个铁链被基督徒们珍藏,是为了对圣使徒的纪念,也是因为这个铁链有治愈疾病的能力,因为许多病人在触摸了这个铁链之后就痊愈了。同样,圣帕弗罗的毛巾一样有很大的能力:“甚至有人从帕弗罗身上拿毛巾,或围裙,放在病人身上,病就退了,恶鬼也出去了”(使徒行实/徒/宗19:12)。耶路撒冷牧首圣犹文纳里将此圣铁链赠送给艾弗多西亚,也就是皇帝小德奥多西被废放逐的皇后。艾弗多西亚皇后将铁链分成两半,将其中的一半送给了位于君士坦丁堡的圣使徒教堂;将另一半送给了她在罗马的女儿艾弗多克西亚,也即瓦伦提尼安皇帝的妻子。艾弗多克西亚修建了圣裴特若教堂,并将此半份铁链连同圣裴特若最终在暴君尼禄手下殉道前所负的铁链一起奉安于此堂。 If you like our project and you are satisfied with our work and effort, please consider making a donation that would help us to survive on the Internet and in further development of the project.
