Dear Ung-Certez,
St Edward the Martyr or the Passion-Bearer is venerated in the East.
His relics were found by an archaeologist who wanted to give them to the RC or Anglican Churches on condition that they list all four of his ancient feastdays on their calendar in his honour.
Both turned him down, so he went to the Orthodox who agreed.
There are icons of St Edward sol by Jordanville and Holy Transfiguration Monastery.

Dear in the Lord Gideon:
It seems as though you have a particular devotion to the Martyrs of England. There stories are absolutely inspiring and filled with acts of courage by the martyrs in order to save souls. Another favorite of mine in sort of the same category is Saint Oliver Plunkett, martyred Archbishop of Armagh, Ireland. Sees as though you and I share the same love for the martyr Saints of the British Isles.
Silouan, old monk

One of my father's patron Saints is St Edward. Which one he knows not as the nuns gave it to him for confirmation. My patrons are St John the Divine (already much touted on this thread). I was named for a famous ancestor of mine, the patriarch Adam. I do not have much of a devotion to him, though i wish i did. I am still suffering from a belief i had as a RC that i am somehow responsible for original sin. One of the things that drew me East is that my namessake is not constantly trash-talked, but is an actual, viable saint.

Dear Akemner, It would be either St Edward the Confessor (more than likely) or else the lesser known St Edward the Martyr (or Passion-Bearer) who is now the "Orthodox St Edward." The West never gave our forefather Adam the honours of a saint, according to Holweck's Dictionary of the Saints. But the East certainly has and does. St Adam is portrayed on the icon of Christ's "Descent into Hades" as He lifts up Adam and Eve. The skull at the base of the Eastern Cross is also that of St Adam, the tradition being that the Cross was inserted into his very grave and as the Blood of Christ dripped downward, It touched Adam's bones and saved him - and us in him. Do you like apples?  Alex
