    I think there is a spelling error on the page for "St. Themistoeles" as the name is rendered "Themistocles" in the text.

    Might be worth checking out. ;)

    Dear Lord, we praise you for St. Themistoeles, and his glorious example of strength and courage, which he showed in the face of torments. May he inspire us by his faithfulness to you. Amen

    Saint Themistoeles was put on the rack, dragged over rough materials and then scourged. You can get icons of him on different websites. Prayer: Grant, we beseech thee, almighty God: that we, who venerate St. Themistocles, thy martyr may through his intercession be strengthened in the love of thy name. Amen
    Dear St. Themistocles, glorious martyr, bless me, and keep me from all harm. Thank you for what you have done for me in the past. Amen
