Ingot 1 Oz Orthodox Shrines Icon Faith,Hope, Love and Sophia Oxidised Silver Edition Technical Specs Presentation Country:   Niue Metal Purity:    ¿Silver 0.999 Box:   Yes Year of Issue:   2014 Weight:   1 Oz CoA:   Yes Face Value:   2 dollars Dimensions:   27 x 47¿mm     Quality:   Antique-Finish     Mintage:   3,000   New ingot, presentation paper box may has some attritions Saint Sophia the Martyr (d. 137 AD) is venerated in the Eastern Orthodox Church on September 17. Born in Italy, Sophia had three daughters: Faith (age 12), Hope (age 10) and Charity (age 9), who were named after virtues mentioned by Saint Paul in 1 Corinthians 13. They are said to have been martyred during the reign of Hadrian (117-138). The guards took Sophia's daughters one by one, from the eldest to the youngest and beat and tortured them to death. Sophia buried her daughters' bodies and remained by their graves for three days until she died herself. According to tradition, in 778 part of their relics were transferred to the women's convent at Eschau in Alsace. There is a common misconception that the capital city of Bulgaria, Sofia, is named after Saint Sophia the Martyr, and so the city's holiday is on September 17. Sofia is in fact named after its ancient cathedral church of Saint Sophia, consecrated not to the early Christian martyr but to the Divine Wisdom of God (Aghia Sophia in Greek). There are several icons of St. Sophia the Martyr and her daughters in that church, though. ____________________________________________________  Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.

Cook Islands $ 5 Saint Christopher Silver Gilded Oval Coin with Swarovski 2009 Edition Technical Specs Presentation Country:   Cook Island Metal Purity:    ¿Silver 0.999 Box:   Yes Year of Issue:   2009 Weight:   25 g CoA:   Yes Face Value:   5 dollars Dimensions:   30 x 34     Quality:   Proof     Mintage:   5,000   New coin with capsule, CoA and box Saint Christopher is venerated by several Christian denominations as a martyr killed in the reign of the 3rd-century Roman Emperor Decius (reigned 249¿251) or alternatively under the Roman Emperor Maximinus II Dacian (reigned 308¿313). There appears to be confusion due to the similarity in names "Decius" and "Dacian". However his veneration only appears late in Christian tradition, and did not become widespread in the Western Church until the Late Middle Ages, although churches and monasteries were named after him by the 7th century.That Christopher's name, meaning "Christ-bearer", foretells his adult life may give a clue that his story lacks a precise historical origin. He may be the same figure as Saint Menas. His most famous legend, which is mainly known from the West and may draw from Ancient Greek mythology, tells that he carried a child, who was unknown to him, across a river before the child revealed himself as Christ. Therefore, he is the patron saint of travelers, and small images of him are often worn around the neck, on a bracelet, carried in a pocket, or placed in vehicles by Christians. ____________________________________________________  Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.

He was the son of Zebedee and Salome. His brother was James, who was another of the Twelve Apostles. Christian tradition holds that he outlived the remaining apostles and that he was the only one not to die a martyr's death (excluding Judas Iscariot who died by suicide). The Church Fathers considered him the same person as John the Evangelist, John of Patmos, John the Elder and the Beloved Disciple, although modern theologians and scholars have not formed a consensus on the relative identities of these men. The traditions of most Christian denominations hold that John the Apostle is the author of several books of the New Testament. ____________________________________________________  Feel free to e-mail me with any questions.
