Town and church holidays

The Orthodox Church honors the memory of the holy martyr Gordey. Gordeus was born in the city of Caesarea, Cappadocia (now Türkiye) in the 3rd century. He was a military leader of the Roman army. His belief in Christianity was so strong that he left office and lived for a long time as a hermit in the desert. When Emperor Lycia began to persecute Christians, Gordey decided to return from the desert to help other believers.

In celebration of the god Mars, Gordey refused to bow to the idol. He was captured and tortured, but he accepted even the cruelest people with equanimity. The mayor found the martyr unmoved and began to tempt him with all kinds of honors and positions. However, Gordey refused. Then the saint was killed.

Traditions and rituals

On this day you should not be proud of anything, so that Gordey does not take it away. It is not advisable to drink alcoholic beverages, especially vodka. Borrowing or borrowing money is prohibited.
