Holy Neo-Martyr Jordan 2/15/2013
Jordan, born in Trebizond, was a coppersmith by trade. Because he openly defended his faith in Christ and unmasked the faith of Islam, Jordan suffered at the hands of the Turks in 1650 A.D. at Galata in Constantinople. The monk Gabriel, a Canonarch of the Great Church in Constantinople (St. Sophia), suffered in the same manner in the year 1672 A.D.
