Orthodox icon of Saint Cecilia, Cecelia, Cecellia of Rome.

Commemorated November 22.

The Holy Virgin Martyr Cecilia and the Holy Martyrs Valerian, Tiburtius and Maximus: St Cecilia was born in Rome of wealthy and illustrious parents. From her youth she was raised in the Christian Faith. She prayed fervently, she helped those in need, and beneath her fine clothing she wore a hairshirt. Though she had vowed to preserve her virginity for Christ, her parents decided to give her in marriage to the noble pagan Valerian.

The saint did not dare oppose the will of her parents, but with tears she prayed to God that her betrothed would believe in Christ, and that He would send an angel to preserve her virginity. On the night of their marriage, Cecilia told her husband that an angel stood by to guard her. She warned him that he would be slain if he dared to touch her. Valerian asked to see this angel, but his bride told him that he could not see the angel until he had been cleansed of the impurity of unbelief. How may I be cleansed? he asked.

She said that if he asked Bishop Urban for Baptism, he would be able to see the angel. The saint persuaded her fiancé to go with her to Bishop Urban, who was hiding from the persecution in a cave along the Appian Way. The instructions of the wise bishop permeated the soul of Valerian, and both he and his brother Tiburtius believed in Christ and were converted to Christianity. The brothers distributed part of their inheritance to the poor, cared for the sick, and buried Christians tortured to death by the persecutors.

The governor Almachius, having learned of this, gave orders to arrest the brothers and bring them to trial. He demanded that the saints renounce Christ and offer sacrifice to the pagan gods, and the brothers refused. Then they mercilessly began to scourge the brothers. St Valerian under torture urged Christians not to be afraid of torments, but to stand firm for Christ. The governor, wanting to prevent the holy preacher from influencing the people, ordered that the martyrs be taken outside the city limits and executed there.

The detachment of soldiers accompanying the martyrs to execution was commanded by Maximus. He was amazed at the courage of the saints, and asked them why they did not fear death. The holy brothers answered that they were relinquishing this temporal life for life eternal. Maximus wanted to learn the teaching of Christians in detail. He took Sts Valerian and Tiburtius to his own house and conversed with them all night. When she heard of this, St Cecilia went with a priest to Maximus, and he with all his family accepted holy Baptism.

On the following day when they beheaded the Martyrs Valerian and Tiburtius, St Maximus confessed before everyone that he saw how their holy souls had gone up to Heaven. For this confession the holy Martyr Maximus was scourged to death with whips. The governor wanted to confiscate the property of the executed, but when he was told that St Cecilia had already distributed all her remaining wealth to the poor and by her preaching had converted 400 men, he ordered her execution.

For three days they tormented her with fire and smoke in a red-hot bath-house, but the grace of God helped her. Then they decided to behead her. The executioner struck the saint three times with a sword, but only wounded her. The holy Martyr lived three more days in full consciousness, encouraging those around her, and died with prayer on her lips.

It does exactly what they say it does! Worth the money
Color: A1-Red
It arrived quickly. It’s a fun toy! It’s the right size for cats. Definitely worth the money. It is exactly as described. So far, the quality seems very good and it seems durable. The instructions are on the side of the box, which makes learning how to operate it easy. I love it that it’s red, because my kitty seems to be attracted to red. My kitty is very interested in it, yet isn’t quite sure what to think of it. I love that it changes directions on its own so that it doesn’t get stuck or lost under furniture, which is typical for a ball that cats play with. It seems to only go two, three or four feet in one direction and then it changes directions, which is both good and bad. I just wish it would go farther in one direction before changing directions so that my kitty could chase it farther, as we have plenty of space in our house for her to run. But that certainly could be a plus for other cats, enjoying not knowing where the ball is going to go next and really keep them on their toes.

Cat loves this
Color: A1-Red
This toy is great for keeping pets entertained. The ball moves quickly and the tail makes it even more fun for cats to chase. It’s rechargeable and easy to use, and my pet stayed interested much longer than with regular toys.

A Great Energy-Burner for High-Drive Pups!
As the owner of a high-energy dog, finding something that keeps them occupied for more than five minutes is usually a massive challenge. The LDZ&CHX Smart Interactive Dog Toy has been an absolute lifesaver for our daily routine. What I Love About It: True Boredom Buster: The moving and rolling action is erratic enough to mimic prey, which immediately hooks my dog’s attention. It does a fantastic job of keeping them busy and mentally engaged when I'm tied up with work. Smart Design: The inner ball provides the movement, while the outer blue cage-style sleeve makes it incredibly easy for dogs to grab, carry, and chase without getting their jaws stuck. Eco-Friendly & Wallet-Friendly: Thank goodness it's rechargeable. I am so tired of buying endless packs of AA batteries for moving pet toys, so being able to just plug this in is a massive plus. Things to Keep in Mind: The "Bite-Resistant" Sleeve: While the outer sleeve is durable, I wouldn't leave a notorious heavy chewer unsupervised with it for hours. It works beautifully as an interactive chase toy, but it shouldn't be treated as a pure, indestructible chew bone.

Great toy for dogs, cats, or even children!
I got this for my dog, but she was completely uninterested. (I'm sure there are tons of dogs who would love it, mine just happens to not.) But a friend came over with her toddler son, and he absolutely loves it, so I gave it to him. It's a pretty fun little ball and vibrates strongly enough to make itself roll around in random patterns on the floor. It also lights up as it does so, and looks pretty cool! The build quality seems to be pretty good, the outer rubber cover is pretty durable. Though some dogs will probably make quick work of tearing it up, as it has a large opening for the ball to come out. And the USB-C charging is a nice feature as well, but you have to remove the ball from it's sleeve and unscrew it to charge it. As for value, I think it's not a bad deal overall, and would recommend it for small/medium dogs, cats or children! It's well worth the price for the amount of entertainment it will provide! As always if I encounter any other issues or think of anything else to add I'll update this review!

Puppy-Approved Entertainment
Oh my gosh, my puppy absolutely loves this toy. Out of all the toys we’ve brought home recently, this one may have become her favorite. She chases it around the room, pounces on it, carries it around, and then does the funniest thing—she’ll bring it back to her bed and just hold it in her mouth while it vibrates. I’m not sure if she’s soothing her teething gums or if she simply enjoys the sensation, but she seems completely fascinated by it. It’s honestly pretty entertaining to watch. The unpredictable movement keeps her engaged much longer than many of her other toys, and it does a great job encouraging active play. For a puppy with endless energy, that’s a big win. The outer sleeve has held up well so far, and I appreciate that the toy is rechargeable instead of constantly needing replacement batteries. If you’re looking for a toy that can keep a curious puppy busy and provide some laughs for the humans watching, this one has been a hit in our house. It’s getting a lot more playtime than most of the toys in her basket.
