Saints Raphael, Nicholas, and Irene are the Newly Revealed Great Martyrs (Neofaneis Megalomartyres) who suffered martyrdom in Lesvos (specifically Thermi) during the Fall of Constantinople. The Saints were discovered and became known through visions and miracles that took place during the 20th century. Saint Raphael was a priest and archimandrite, while Saint Nicholas was his deacon and subordinate. Saint Irene, a little girl only 12 years old, was martyred alongside them, serving as a symbol of innocence and unwavering faith.
The icon of the Saints is a source of comfort, healing, and strength for the faithful, as it is connected to the certainty that the Saints are near us, performing miracles in the modern age.
Their memory is celebrated on Bright Tuesday (the Tuesday after Pascha/Easter), and their Grace assists all those who invoke their name.
