Default Selecting a st - St Eugene
I appreciated the dialogue started by David D. about selecting a Saint's name and Fr. David's guidance about dancing with the main one who brought you. While I'm certainly attracted to St. Gregory of Nyssa, and thought, consequently, I'd become "Gregory" when I'm baptized this Pascha (God willing), maybe it's better to stay with my Christian name, my middle name, Eugene. It's important to me to have an image, and to know anything about my customer, since I'm an convert" (aka "crazy convert," aka "convert"). Many St. Eugenes are martyrs, and I was steered by this, at first, from selecting a St. Eugene, for I thought unworthy of a martyr's determination and belief. Since the St. Eugenes are mainly martyrs, it's relatively difficult to locate much concerning the a few St. Eugenes and to locate symbols. Istok includes a handful of St. Eugene symbols and the OCA and POMOG websites have the lives of several St. Eugenes, but I'm having difficulty finding different symbols and finding out more. Ergo, I'm wanting to pull with this community's knowledge base. Where may I look for a life and/or image of St. Eugene of Alexandria (who had been Fr. Seraphim Rose's st on the planet)? Since I'm also attracted to Fr. Seraphim Eugene Rose, I'm also thinking about this St. Eugene. There's a short existence on the OCA site, but is there more? Is it feasible to locate a life or image of new martyr Schemamonk Eugene (1939)? These saints are recognized in February, that will be also my real delivery month, as is still another St. Eugene, an and confessor, whom I understand nothing about. Data, short though it's, can be obtained about these St. Eugenes, but when there's more, I'd be thinking about studying it: Martyr Eugene at Trebizond Venerable Eugene and his daughter at Alexandria St Eugene the Confessor and Presbyter at Antioch Hieromartyr Eugene of Cherson Martyr Eugene of Melitene Martyr Eugene at Sebaste Peace
