The thirteenth volume [Supplementary] of the New Synaxarion of the Orthodox Church by Hieromonk Makarios of Simonopetra.

This volume completes the twelve-volume work of the New Synaxarion of the Orthodox Church, including the lives of saints recognized in recent years.

In a time of spiritual confusion, the newly revealed saints – people of our time, filled with divine grace and love for Christ – demonstrate by their presence that the Church remains alive and that the calling to holiness has not ceased. Saint Paisios the Athonite, Saint Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia, Saint Joseph the Hesychast, Saint Ephraim of Katounakia, and so many other contemporary fathers have become lights in the world and support for the people of God.

With faith in the unceasing growth of the Body of Christ, this edition offers a tangible testimony: the Church lives, prays, and honors those who “stood before the Throne of the Lamb,” continuing to provide the faithful with examples, intercessors, and friends of God.
