Saint Luke (Voino-Yasenetsky) of Simferopol
230x
Saint Luke, Bishop of Simferopol: the Blessed Surgeon, born Valentin Felixovich Voino-Yasenetsky, April 14, 1877 and died in Simferopol of Crimea June 11, 1961. While he was serving the church as an archbishop, he was also practising as a surgeon and taught and published many books and articles on regional anesthesia and surgery. He is known to be a world-famous pioneering surgeon. In November of 1995 he was announced as a Saint by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and was officialy glorified by the Patriarchate of Russia May 25, 1996. He is commemorated by the church June 11 the anniversary of his falling asleep in the Lord.

Life

Living in the Ukraine during the oppressive period of communism, St. Luke stood out among his fellow physicians both as a surgeon and as a Christian. Even the communists coveted his talents for healing the body. Yet after his consecration as a Bishop he was arrested and tortured for his unwillingness to deny his faith in Christ. He wore his bishop's cassock in the operating room and refused to perform surgery without an icon. Through all of this St. Luke remained faithful to God to the end of his earthly life (+1961).

The relics of St. Luke are kept at Ss. Peter & Paul Cathedral, Holy Trinity Convent of the Simferopol and Crimean Diocese.

In Greek (translation)

Παιδιά μου πολύ σας παρακαλώ,
Ντυθείτε με την πανοπλία που δίνει ο θεός για να μπορέσετε να αντιμετωπίσετε τα τεχνάσματα του διαβόλου.
Δεν μπορείτε να φανταστείτε πόσο πονηρός είναι.
Δεν έχουμε να παλέψουμε με ανθρώπους, αλλά με αρχές και εξουσίες δηλαδή με τα πονηρά πνεύματα.
Προσέξτε!
"Τον διάβολο δεν τον συμφέρει να δέχθεί κανείς την ύπαρξη του να σκέφτεται και να αισθάνεται οτι είναι κοντά στον άνθρωπο.
Ενας κρυφός και άγνωστος εχθρός είναι πιό επικίνδυνος από έναν ορατό εχθρό.
Ο πόσο μεγάλος και τρομερός είναι ο στρατός των δαιμόνων.
Πόσο αμέτρητο είναι το μαύρο τους πλήθος!
Αμετάβλητα,ακούραστα,μέρα και νύχτα,επιδιώκουν να σπρώξουν όλους εμάς που πιστεύουμε στο όνομα του Χρηστού,να μας παρασύρουν
στό δρόμο της απιστίας της κακίας και της ασέβειας.
Αυτοί οι αόρατοι εχθροί του Θεού,εχουν βάλει ως μοναδικό τους σκοπό μέρα και νύχτα να επιδιώκουν την καταστροφή μας.
Όμως μη φοβάστε,πάρτε δύναμη απο το όνομα του Ιησού"
