Orthodox icon of Saint George and his Mother Saint Polychronia

Commemorated April 23th

The Holy Martyr Polychronia (Polychronίa) was the mother of the Saint and Great Martyr George the Trophy- Bearer and was from the city of Lydda (Diospolis) in Palestine. She also came from a renowned and noble race. She was modest, brave, and filled with temperance, kindness and sweetness. Most of all, her soul loved God, prayer and humility. She spent her time reading the Divine Scriptures and praying. The blessed Polychronia accompanied her prayers and vigils with the virtues of continence and fasting. Thus, detached from the earth, her mind was lifted up to heaven and she immersed herself in divine vision (θεωρία).1 In this way, she transformed her surroundings and allowed the everlasting scent of her spiritual fragrance to diffuse in the idolatrous environment of her husband Gerontios.

Saint Polychronia secretly raised her son with the discipline and admonition of the Lord. She imparted to him her fervent love for Christ, as well as her deep reverence. When he faced martyrdom for the love of Christ, she was constantly close to him, both in the prison and in the place of martyrdom, always taking care to strengthen him with the Spotless Mysteries.

When Emperor Diocletian saw her speaking to Saint George, he called her to him and asked her who she was. She replied with spiritual courage: "My name is Polychronia and I am a Christian, like my son George, whom you think you are punishing, while he is being crowned by Christ the King." Enraged, Diocletian ordered her to be tortured at once. Then they suspended her on a tree and subjected her to even greater torments. They tore the flesh from her body with iron handcuffs so much that her innards were visible. Then they took lit candles and began to burn her wounds. Yet she remained steadfast in her faith and courageous in her thought. Still the executioners continued, placing red-hot iron shoes on her feet with tongs. Saint Polychronia, with the consolation of the Paraclete,2 conquered her pains and delivered her holy soul peacefully into God's hands.

Her holy relics were secretly taken by Christians who buried her, while praising God.

Great quality and long lasting
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My dog loves these, and I feel good giving them to her. They last a very long time. They don't have any odor whatsoever. She chews them aggressively, but they don't leave as much slobber or goo as some other chewables. They are pricey, but if you just bring them out for a special treat, they will last longer. I bring it out when we're having dinner, and I don't want her to bother us! When she gets it down to a nub, I stuff it inside one of her puzzle toys and she is still very interested in it because I guess to her it must really smell great even though I can't smell anything at all. So she will try to dig it out of the puzzle toy and spend lots of time doing that, so I feel like that gives some extra value.

My dog likes this brand
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is the only brand of Himalayan chew that my dog likes. I’ve heard other brands come with an off smell but I’ve never noticed a bad smell with this one. This is the same version they sell at Whole Foods so I trust that the ingredients are good quality. My dog loves to chip away at this thing and it makes a huge mess but I deal with it to make him happy.

Best chew toy I’ve ordered
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My dog usually destroys chew toys in 30mins or less he has been chewing on this toy non stop the past 4 hours. He hasn’t conquered it yet and that’s great for us as it allows us to get things accomplished while he’s occupied. I will definitely order another one after he eventually breaks this down

Great quality, dogs loved them
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I didn't know what my dogs would think of the Yak cheese but they loved it. I later tried another brand but it was splintering easily. This one kept a nice solid texture the whole time the dogs were enjoying it. Would definitely recommend.

Not good for sensitive tummies or IBD
Size: 5.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Unfortunately my shepherd got bad diarrhea even with just half one. But the product smells really good. Like a nice Smoky flavor. I used to feed to my little poodle girl who had lots of allergies and sensitivities and very small amounts occasionally. But unfortunately my GSD can't handle much of anything so I don't hold it against the product, but if you have a very sensitive tummy dog, give a small amount in the beginning to try.
