Orthodox icon of Saint Orestes, the Martyr of Cappadocia.

Commemorated November 10th.

The Martyr Orestes the Physician of Cappadocia lived at the end of the third century in the city of Tyana in Cappadocia in the time of the emperor Diocletian (284-311). He was an illustrious and capable soldier, and from childhood St Orestes was truly a good Christian. By order of the emperor, the military officer Maximinus was sent to Tyana to deal with Christianity, which then had spread widely throughout Cappadocia. Orestes was among the first brought to trial to Maximinus.

He bravely and openly confessed his faith in the Crucified and Risen Lord, Jesus Christ. The prosecutor offered the saint riches, honors and renown to renounce God, but St Orestes was unyielding. At the order of Maximinus, they took Orestes to a resplendent pagan temple and again demanded that he worship idols. When he refused, forty soldiers, took turns one after the other, beating the holy martyr with lashes, with rods, with rawhide, and then they tormented him with fire.

St Orestes cried out to the Lord, Establish with me a sign for good, let those who hate me see it and be put to shame (Ps. 85/86:17). And the Lord heard His true servant. The earth began to tremble, and the idols fell down and were smashed. Everyone rushed out of the temple, and when St Orestes came out, the very temple tumbled down. Infuriated, Maximinus ordered the holy martyr to be locked up in prison for seven days giving him neither food nor drink, and on the eighth day to continue with the torture.

They hammered twenty nails into the martyr's legs, and then tied him to a wild horse. Dragged over the stones, the holy martyr departed to the Lord in the year 304. His relics were thrown into the sea. In 1685, when St Demetrius, later the Bishop of Rostov, (October 28) was preparing the Life of St Orestes to be printed by the Kiev Caves Lavra, he became tired and fell asleep. The holy martyr Orestes appeared to him in a dream.

He showed him the deep wound in his left side, his wounded and severed arms, and his legs which had been cut off. The holy martyr looked at St Demetrius and said, You see, I suffered more torments for Christ than you have described. The humble monk wondered whether this was St Orestes, one of the Five Martyrs of Sebaste (December 13). The martyr said, I am not that Orestes, but he whose Life you have just finished writing.

SMELL is not so great. A bit pricey for kid shoes.
These are very cute and sparkly, just as a jelly should be. They are true to size and easy to learn how to buckle. I'm glad it's not velcro buckles as those easily fall apart. These jellies will definitely last. I assume that's why this brand 'mini melissa' is a bit more pricey, but 89 dollars for kid shoes they will grow out of in a year?! I have seen others not so expensive of the same brand. Not sure why these are so high. I don't think it's worth the money unless they're taken down a notch. They SMELL, which others love but I cannot stand the smell. Honestly like a park restroom air freshener or urinal cake. It stunk up the whole garage. And they are purposefully stored outside or in the garage for that reason. Not allowed in the house. It's been a month and they still are so strongly smelly. I wish there was a 'non scented' if that's possible. A good brand, but the smell is awful and the price isn't as fair for kid shoes.

Couldn’t be happier that Jelly’s are back!!
Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Glitter Pink, Size: 11 Little Kid, Color: Glitter Pink
These are such fun little sandals for kids. The jelly style gives them a playful look, and they go with so many outfits. I love that they can be dressed up a bit or worn casually for everyday play. They’re super easy to clean, which is huge for kids’ shoes. Whether they get dirty outside or at the park, you can just wipe them down and they look good as new. They also feel sturdy and hold up really well with regular use. The fit is secure and they stay on without any issues, which is always something I look for in kids’ shoes. They’re comfortable enough for all-day wear too. Pros: Easy to clean, durable, secure fit, versatile style. This will sound weird but these shoes smell so good! Even my daughter thought so. Cons: None so far.

Fun Y2K Heels for Kids
Size: 3 Big Kid, Color: Glitter Pink, Size: 3 Big Kid, Color: Glitter Pink
These heels are absolutely adorable and bring a real fun Y2K vibe, perfect for an older kid who wants to add some sparkle to their outfit. The main material is a soft, jelly-style plastic which feels quite flexible. It does have a distinct, strong scent, but it's not unpleasant at all; just something to note when you first unbox them. The color is a lovely pink with gold sparkles mixed in. While it has a slightly more orange hue than I expected from the photos, it still looks really cool and vibrant. What stands out with these is how surprisingly practical they are for heels. The heels themselves are thick and provide solid balance, and the traction on the sole is good, making them easy to walk and even be active in. The insole has some light padding, adding to the comfort. In terms of fit, they run a little small, so keep that in mind when ordering, though they were close enough. My only minor gripe is the buckle; it's a standard plastic and metal clasp that you have to fasten each time, which isn't quite as convenient as some other kids' shoes that use a faux buckle with velcro underneath. Despite that, they're a really cute and well-designed pair of shoes for a young fashionista.

Very nice but insanely expensive
I got mini melissa Possession Heel in March 2026. These are excellent and I agree with virtually everything about them in the product description. These are stylish, they do look great, and they are definitely versatile in different occasions ways you can use them. The color on the Glitter Dark Pink one I got matches the pictures quite well, and these shoes overall look great and feel great. I do not have anything negative to say about them. Well, maybe the price but I will talk about that below. As for the price, $90 for these feel insanely expensive. The Glitter Dark Pink is currently discounted to $53 and even that feels quite expensive. Obviously these are nice, but I personally would consider $30 to be a great deal for these.
