New Martyr
Lambros of Samothrace
A new martyr from the island of Samothrace who died for the faith in 1838.
Life
Holy New Martyr Lambros of Samothrace received the crown of martyrdom at Makri (in the Evros region of Thrace) on 2 July 1835.
Together with five other fellow-martyrs from Samothrace, Theodore, another Theodore, George, John and Michael, he was coerced by the Turks and denied the faith. Then he repented and suffered with the others for faith in Christ. His hymn calls him the honoured offspring of Samothrace and Makri, who gloriously received the crown of victory.
He is commemorated on 2 July, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style). He belongs to the same group of new martyrs of Samothrace as Michael of Samothrace, commemorated on 6 April, who suffered at Makri in the same year, 1835.
