Hallo Liebe Forumgemeinde,

Ich habe da mal eine Frage, ich habe mich mit 18 in Griechenland Taufen lassen, dort habe ich den Namen Dimosthenis bekommen.

Nun zu meiner Frage einige Leute meinen Dimosthenis ist ein Heiliger wiederum meinen andere er war keiner was stimmt den nun ?.

Desweiteren kann ich keine Informationen zu meinen Namenstag finden oder zu der Geschichte von Dimosthenis existiert wenn er ein Heiliger war Ikonen ? währe ja sehr schon wenn ich von meinem Namensheiligen eine Ikone hätte.

Für Informationen währe ich sehr Dankbar

LIebe Grüsse Denny

Unter diesen Heiligen ist auch der Hl. Dimosthenis:

10. April - Märtyrer:




Στην εικόνα που έχουμε αναρτήσει εμφανίζονται οι Αγιοι :

πάνω σειρά : Πελοπίδας, Χρόνιος, Φωκίων, Σοφοκλής, Ισοκράτης
μεσαία σειρά : Ηρακλής, Επαμεινώνδας, Δημοσθένης, Μιλτιάδης, Ομηρος
κάτω σειρά : Δήμος, Τερέντιος, Γρηγόριος, Αφρικάνος και Περικλής

Also der Dritte in der mittleren Reihe müsste der Hl. Dimostenis sein!

Habe hier aber auch einen anderen gefunden - einen "Neu-Märtyrer":

Martyr Dimos (or Demos, Demosthenes, Dimosthenis)

(April 10)

...In the Christian Orthodox religion, newborns are baptized between their 6th-15th month of age. They are given names of Saints and Martyrs of the Christian Orthodox Church.

Orthodox Christian Martyr Dimos lived in Asia Minor (Western Turkey) near the town called "Adrianopolis" in a village called in Turkish "Yortzun Kioprou". He was a fisherman and he used to work in a fish farm. One year he worked in a fish farm near the city of "Smirni" owned by a Turk. Apparently the fish farm did not make any profit that year so Dimos did not earn a salary and because of that he ended up owning debts. The fish farm was sold to another Turk. The new owner demanded from Dimos to work for him and earn the same percentage of the profit that the other employees would get at the end of year. But Dimos thought that he should look for work elsewhere, where he would have more possibilities to earn his living. He declined to work although his fellow friends--Christians-- encouraged him to work for the new owner.

The new owner got very upset and not having any other way to persuade Dimos, he went out and claimed that Dimos had promised that if he would not work for the fish farm, he would become a Muslim. The new owner managed to get some pseudo-witnesses to testify against Dimos. Dimos was arrested and taken to the Judge. The Judge then forced Dimos to reject his believe in the Christian God and become a Muslim. Dimos insisted that he had never made such a promise and he was a Christian, he believed on the Christian God and that he was ready to give his blood rather than become a Muslim. He was taken to jail where he was tortured numerous times. The Judge questioned Dimos three more times, but Dimos insisted on being a Christian. They promised him great benefits if he was to become a Muslim and great torture if he was to remain a Christian. Nothing could make Dimos reject his Christian beliefs. His head was taken off and Dimos joined the chorus of Martyrs who gave their lives for Jesus Christ. His body was buried by the Christians at the nearby Christian Church of Saint George.

To honor Martyr Dimos, God performed a number of miracles to people who asked Martyr Dimos for help: A tailor’s sick fingers recovered when he touched the grave of Martyr Dimos. A woman regained her sight. A man was suffering a terrible headache until he prayed to Martyr Dimos for help. History also notes that when years latter his remains were taken up to earth, they were surrounded by a beautiful aroma.

Martyr Dimos gave his life for Jesus Christ in 1763 a.d. The Christian Orthodox Church commemorates him on April 10. This day is the "name day" of all the Orthodox Christians who have been baptized "Dimos".
