Orthodox icon of Saint Aglaia of Rome, Aglaida, Aglae,

Commemorated December 19.

Saint Aglaida (Aglae) was a rich Roman woman and carried on an immoral relationship with her slave St Boniface. But they both felt the sting of conscience and they wanted somehow to be cleansed of their sin. And the Lord granted them the possibility to wash away their sin with their blood and to finish their life in repentance. Aglaida learned that whoever keeps relics of the holy martyrs in the home and venerates them receives great help in gaining salvation. Under their influence, sin is diminished and virtue prevails.

She arranged for Boniface to go to the East, where there was a fierce persecution against Christians, and she asked him to bring back the relics of some martyr, who would become a guide and protector for them. As he was leaving, Boniface laughed and asked,  My lady, if I do not find any relics, and if I myself suffer for Christ, will you accept my body with reverence? Aglaida scolded him, saying that he was setting off on a sacred mission, but he was not taking it seriously. Boniface pondered her words, and during the whole journey he thought that he was unworthy of touching the bodies of the martyrs. Arriving in Tarsus, Boniface witnessed the sufferings of the martyrs and his heart was changed.

He cried out, I am also a Christian.He was arrested, tortured, and put to death, then slaves took his body back to Aglaida in Rome. On the eve of their arrival an angel appeared to Aglaida in her sleep and told her to prepare herself to receive her former slave, now the brother and fellow-servant of the angels. Aglaida summoned the clergy, and she received the holy relics with great reverence. Then she built a church on the site of his grave and dedicated it to the holy martyr. There she enshrined his relics, glorified by numerous miracles.

After distributing all her wealth to the poor, she withdrew to a monastery, where she spent fifteen years in repentance, then fell asleep in the Lord. She was buried beside St Boniface. The sins of the one were washed away by his blood, the other was purified by her tears and asceticism. Both were found worthy to appear unsullied before our Lord Jesus Christ, Who desires not the death of a sinner, but that he should turn from his wickedness and live (Ezek. 33:11).

My dog loves this.
Color: Black Green, Size: 6 Inch, Color: Black Green, Size: 6 Inch
I have a large Cane Corso who could obviously shred this but, she loves it. This ball is holding up really well. We use it for outside play and she loves batting it around and swinging it from the loops.

What a wonderful treat, loved by our very fussy dog!
Our very fussy Havanese absolutely LOVES these sticks! I had to find a new product after the USA-made chicken wrapped rawhide sticks were no longer available. It is very difficult to find a quality product made in the USA & while these are made in Cambodia, they seem to be made under very strict standards. I was also impressed that this co. claims it has never had a recall of their products. I also relied on the many, many excellent reviews of past customers. Our Teddy gets a stick every morning & then will wait by the pantry to get an additional 1 or 2 or more throughout the day! He usually does not eat the rawhide, just chews it up a bit. He is in love with these!! He also has a sensitive stomach & these have never bothered him one bit. His teeth are also quite clean from using these!

Great value
You get so many in the package. My dog gets one each night after dinner as a “tooth brushing”. He’s a big greyhound and these are thin and smallish, which is great for smaller dogs, but he loves them anyway.
