Orthodox icon of Saint Sevastiane of Markianopolis.

Commemorated October 24th.

St. Sevastiane lived and struggled during the reign of Emperor Domitian (81-96 A.D.) and was baptized by St. Paul. She immediately became one his disciples and began traveling to different places preaching the gospel of Christ. Due to her missionary work as a Christian she was slandered before the Governor Sergius.

When asked to give an account before him, she remained steadfast in her faith for Christ. She boldly confessed her faith and that she received baptism by the Apostle Paul. She also announced that she was prepared to die for her Lord.

They cudgeled her body with lead balls and flung her into prison. While in prison the Apostle Paul appeared to her and said, “Rejoice and sorrow not, for thou wilt go to thine own homeland to confess Christ!”

Seven days later, the governor returned to torturing her. They cast her into a furnace of flames and when she remained unscathed after hours within the furnace, all were amazed and marveled at the power of her God. Upon exiting she uttered a prayer and all hear a dreadful noise from Heaven with thunder and lightning. Hailstone began to fall mightily and pelted the furnace, thus extinguishing the fire. Many were in danger of dying, including the governor, so frightened he departed with his retinue.

After this he found out where she was from and sent her away to her homeland, for the governor of that Herakleia to deal with. An angel appeared to her on her way and said, “Take courage, O daughter, though wilt stand before the governor and I shall be with thee.”

She stood before the governor for a great length of tiem. He sentenced her to be placed upon a wooden pulley block. Her body was rent asunder for over three hours, and her torn flesh yielded a fragrant myrrh. Throughout all of this St. Sevastiane remained silent and prayed. Those around her remarked that is was as if her body was without senses.

After they lowered her, they cast her as prey to wild animals. A great lion approached but when he neared her, by divine command, he took on a human voice. The lion then praised and blessed Christ’s martyr and censured and condemned the lawless and impious. A lioness then drew near and stood to the other side of the martyr. Both lions stood at either side of the saint, as innocent lambs.

The governor was amazed and was at a loss at how to proceed. Thus, he sentenced her to be beheaded outside of the city. But, o the wonder! Instead of blood flowing from the wound, milk gushed forth! (St. Paul was also beheaded and milk flowed from his wound as well) The governor full of fear commaned that her head be placed in a sack with three hundred pounds of lead and cast into the sea.

After this was done an angel tore the sack open and took her head along with the rest of her body to a place called Risetos. The angel then appeared to a senator’s wife named Ammia, who was told where to find the relics. Ammia then took them and annointed them with myrrh and they were then interred to a special place in Risetos, to the glory of God.

Works Perfect!
Size: 24"X24"
Same scenario here as a lot of other reviewers... We've got a 10-week-old pup that used potty pads at first... But now is in the teething and let's tear everything up stage. It was starting to get dangerous even with other holders she was tearing up the pads completely and we were worried she was going to ingest them. We looked at several different products, including the over twice the cost metal wolf brand. But I have to say, really glad we went with this one. It does take a minute to snap together properly, but once you do changing out pads is a breeze. Once our girl (Mini Poodle) went on top of the greats and used the bathroom we gave her a big reward with lots of praise and a treat. She hasn't been able to tear it up at all. And I believe since she can smell her marking, she has been going back and using it about 7/10 times. More recently, the success rate has been going up. Like I said, she hasn't been able to flip it over, break it apart etc. So we are incredibly happy with this purchase and has made our lives so much easier. Once she gets bigger we will see how she handled it. And if she is able to break it apart. But I doubt it, there is a fairly satisfying click when you lock in both sides with the pad beneath. We are using Frisco pads from Chewy large size and they fit pretty much perfectly. You have to fold the blue border slightly but it works great!

Our German Sheppard loves these
Size: Medium
These cost a bit more than tennis balls, but they are so much nicer and longer lasting. For starters, they stay cleaner than tennis balls because they’re smooth rubber. Dirt won’t build up on them and if anything does stick, like grass or soil, it falls off once the dog slobber dries. They’re also thick, so they don’t fall apart or blow out like a normal tennis ball does in our dog’s jaws after 30 seconds. Our GS chomps on these like crazy and the only damage they’ve suffered is a crack that developed from the edge of the hole, but the crack is growing very slowly and none of these balls have totally failed yet. The balls do whistle when thrown ant high speed and that may help a dog track and locate it, but I’m not sure. Our neighbors hear the whistling too so it’s far from silent. Lastly the orange ball is easy to locate out in our yard, but the dark blue practically disappears.

Great for smaller dogs
Size: Small
These two balls are perfect for the smaller mouthed dog that loves to play fetch. These balls are not only super durable (lots of teeth biting), but float in the baby pool we use for our miniature dachshunds. The value here is much better than you’d find anywhere else. The noise, if bitten hard enough, was “low” at best. Easy to spot/find if overthrown. Will definitely buy again once these are in bad repair; so far, so good-love these for my fur babies!

My dogs favorite balls
Size: Medium
These are great for my dog who always has to have a ball in her mouth. Not too hard so I don't have to worry about her teeth. They last for ever. They do lose their shape a little over time (like I said, she always has a ball in her mouth) they become a little oval in shape. They still bounce, she still chases it and she still chews on it so I don't think she notices or cares. I've gotten her a bag full of these over time and I have only seen one that she chewed a chunk out.

My Dachshunds Love These
Size: Small
These balls are durable, flexible material, highly chewable without being easily destroyed. I stuff them with Milkbone Maro Snacks, which are just the right size to twist into the holes in the ball. My dogs literally get an hour+ chewing and chasing entertainment from these. They chew them, they sometimes 'pop' out of their mouths, go rolling across the floor, dogs chasing them. This satisfies their urge to hunt prey. Dachshunds can easily tear this kind of stuff-it-toy apart. These have lasted for a long time without tearing or shredding. I would NOT recommend them for a dog much larger than a tweenie weenie. They're a bit on the small side and might be swallowed by a larger dog. It would be cool it they also came in a larger size (and probably ball wall thickness also) for the bigger dogs to enjoy. These stuff-it chew balls are better than the kong balls my dogs had before these. Highly recommend them.
