Festal Divine Liturgy: 9:30 – 11:00 AM

The Orthodox Church commemorates St. Spyridon, Bishop of Trimythous in Cyprus and one of the fathers of the First Ecumenical Council at Nicaea. A shepherd of humble origins who never set aside his simplicity even as a bishop, St. Spyridon is remembered for his profound faith and the many miracles worked through his prayers, both in his lifetime and in the centuries since. His incorrupt relics rest on the island of Corfu, where he is venerated as its patron and protector.

Apolytikion of Spyridon the Wonderworker

First Tone

O Father, God-bearer, Spyridon, you were proven a champion and Wonder Worker of the First Ecumenical Council. You spoke to the girl in the grave and turned the serpent to gold. And, when chanting your prayers, most sacred One, angels ministered with you. Glory to Him who glorified you; glory to Him who crowned you; glory to Him who, through you, works healing for all.

Kontakion of Spyridon the Wonderworker

Second Tone

Wounded by your love for Christ, O holy One, your mind given wings by the radiance of the Spirit, you put the practice of theory into deeds, becoming a sacred altar, O Chosen by God, and praying for the divine illumination of all.
