Ἦχος δʹ. Ταχὺ προκατάλαβε. Χαρὰν προμνηστεύεται, σήμερον Ἄννα ἡμῖν, τῆς λύπης ἀντίθετον, καρπὸν βλαστήσασα, τὴν μόνην Ἀειπάρθενον ἣν περ δὴ καὶ προσάγει, τὰς εὐχὰς ἐκπληροῦσα, σήμερον γηθομένη, τῷ Ναῷ τοῦ Κυρίου, ὡς ὄντως ναὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ Λόγου, καὶ Μητέρα ἁγνήν. Ἦχος δ Σήμερον τῆς σωτηρίας ἡμῶν τὸ κεφάλαιον, καὶ τοῦ ἀπ αἰῶνος μυστηρίου ἡ φανέρωσις ὁ Υἷός του Θεοῦ, υἱὸς τῆς Παρθένου γίνεται, καὶ Γαβριὴλ τὴν χάριν εὐαγγελίζεται.

Dismissal Hymns Mode 4 When the women Disciples of the Lord had learned from the Angel the joyful message of the Resurrection and had rejected the ancestral decision, they cried aloud to the Apostles triumphantly: Death has been despoiled, Christ God has risen, granting His great mercy to the world. Mode 4. Come quickly. Today righteous Anna solicits joy for us all, * the opposite of pain and sorrow, having brought forth her fruit, * the only ever-virgin Maid; * and today in fulfillment of her prayer and her promise, * to the Temple of the Lord she joyfully leads her * who is truly the temple and pure * Mother of God the Word. Mode 4 Today mark s the crow ning of our salvation and the revelation of the mystery before all ages. For the Son of God becomes the son of the Virgin, and Gabriel proclaims the grace. Wherefore, we also cry out with him, "Hail, O full of grace, the Lord is with you. Kontakion Mode 4. You appeared today. On this day the whole world is filled completely with great joy and merriment on the feast of the Theotokos and cries out: "She is the heavenly tabernacle indeed."

3 Ἀπόστολος Γαλ. ς Galatians 6:11-18 Epistle Ἀδελφοί, ἴδετε πηλίκοις ὑμῖν γράμμασιν ἔγραψα τῇ ἐμῇ χειρί. Ὅσοι θέλουσιν εὐπροσωπῆσαι ἐν σαρκί, οὗτοι ἀναγκάζουσιν ὑμᾶς περιτέμνεσθαι, μόνον ἵνα μὴ τῷ σταυρῷ τοῦ Χριστοῦ διώκωνται οὐδὲ γὰρ οἱ περιτεμνόμενοι αὐτοὶ νόμον φυλάσσουσιν, ἀλλὰ θέλουσιν ὑμᾶς περιτέμνεσθαι ἵνα ἐν τῇ ὑμετέρᾳ σαρκὶ καυχήσωνται. Ἐμοὶ δὲ μὴ γένοιτο καυχᾶσθαι εἰ μὴ ἐν τῷ σταυρῷ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, δι' οὗ ἐμοὶ κόσμος ἐσταύρωται κἀγὼ τῷ κόσμῳ. Ἐν γὰρ Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ οὔτε περιτομή τι ἰσχύει οὔτε ἀκροβυστία, ἀλλὰ καινὴ κτίσις. Καὶ ὅσοι τῷ κανόνι τούτῳ στοιχήσουσιν, εἰρήνη ἐπ' αὐτοὺς καὶ ἔλεος, καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ Θεοῦ. Τοῦ λοιποῦ κόπους μοι μηδεὶς παρεχέτω ἐγὼ γὰρ τὰ στίγματα τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ ἐν τῷ σώματί μου βαστάζω. Η χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μετὰ τοῦ πνεύματος ὑμῶν, ἀδελφοί ἀμήν. Εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην Ἀνθρώπου τινὸς πλουσίου εὐφόρησεν ἡ χώρα καὶ διελογίζετο ἐν ἑαυτῷ λέγων τί ποιήσω, ὅτι οὐκ ἔχω ποῦ συνάξω τοὺς καρπούς μου; καὶ εἶπε τοῦτο ποιήσω καθελῶ μου τὰς ἀποθήκας καὶ μείζονας οἰκοδομήσω, καὶ συνάξω ἐκεῖ πάντα τὰ γεννήματά μου καὶ τὰ ἀγαθά μου, καὶ ἐρῶ τῇ ψυχῇ μου ψυχή, ἔχεις πολλὰ ἀγαθὰ κείμενα εἰς ἔτη πολλά ἀναπαύου, φάγε, πίε, εὐφραίνου. εἶπε δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ Θεός ἄφρον, ταύτῃ τῇ νυκτὶ τὴν ψυχήν σου ἀπαιτοῦσιν ἀπὸ σοῦ ἃ δὲ ἡτοίμασας τίνι ἔσται; οὕτως ὁ θησαυρίζων ἑαυτῷ καὶ μὴ εἰς Θεὸν πλουτῶν. Ταῦτα λέγων ἐφώνει. Ὁ ἔχων ὦτα ἀκούειν, ἀκουέτω. Brethren, see with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh that would compel you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. For even those who receive circumcision do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may glory in your flesh. But far be it from me to glory except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. For neither c i r c u m c i s i o n c o u n t s f o r a n y t h i n g, n o r uncircumcision, but a new creation. Peace and mercy be upon all who walk by this rule, upon the Israel of God. Henceforth let no man trouble me; for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen. Εὐαγγέλιον Λουκ. ιβʹ Luke 12:16-21 Gospel The Lord said this parable: "The land of a rich man brought forth plentifully; and he thought to himself, 'What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?' And he said, 'I will do this: I will pull down my barns, and build larger ones; and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, 'Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, be merry.' But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul is required of you; and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." As he said these things, he cried out: "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

4 Proclus, Archbishop of Constantinople 20 November Saint Proclus lived during the reign of Saint Theodosius the Younger. A disciple and scribe of Saint John Chrysostom, he was ordained Bishop of Cyzicus about the year 426, but because the people there unlawfully elected another bishop before his arrival, he remained in Constantinople. In 429, Nestorius, who had been Archbishop of Constantinople for about a year, and had already begun his blasphemous teaching that it is wrong to call the holy Virgin "Theotokos," invited Bishop Proclus to give a sermon on one of the feasts of our Lady, which he did, openly defending in Nestorius' presence the name "Theotokos," that is, "Mother of God." Saint Proclus was elevated to the throne of Archbishop of Constantinople in 434. It was he who persuaded Emperor Theodosius the Younger and his holy sister Pulcheria to have the most sacred relics of his godly teacher Saint John Chrysostom brought back from Comana, and triumphantly received them upon their return to the imperial city (see Jan. 27 and Nov. 13). He reposed in peace in 447. Ὁ Ἅγιος Πρόκλος Ὑπῆρξε ἄξιος μαθητὴς τοῦ μεγά ου διδασκά ου τῆς Ἐκκλησίας μας, Ἰωάννου τοῦ Χρυσοστόμου. Ὁ Πατριάρχης Ἀττικὸς ( ) τὸν ἔκανε διάκονο καὶ κατόπιν πρεσβύτερο. Ἐπειδὴ διακρινόταν γιὰ τὴν παιδεία, τὴν ἀρετὴ καὶ τὴν διδακτική του ἱκανότητα, ἀγαπήθηκε θερμὰ ἀπ ὅ ους τοὺς θαυμαστὲς τοῦ ἀξέχαστου διδασκά ου του καὶ ὑποστηριζόταν ἀπ αὐτοὺς γιὰ τὸν Πατριαρχικὸ θρόνο τῆς Κωνσταντινουπό εως. Ἀ ὰ ἡ ἀντίδραση τοῦ διεφθαρμένου κατεστημένου, ναυάγιζε τὴν ὑποψηφιότητά του. Ἀργότερα ὁ Πατριάρχης Σισίνιος, τὸ ἔτος 425, χειροτόνησε τὸν Πρόκλο ἐπίσκοπο Κυζίκου. Λόγω ὅμως τῶν ἀνωμαλιῶν τῆς ἐπαρχίας, τὴν ἐπισκοπὴ κατέ αβε κάποιος Δαλμάτιος. Ἀ ὰ ὁ Πρόκλος, χωρὶς νὰ στεναχωρηθεῖ, ἐξακολούθησε τὸ κήρυγμα τοῦ θείου λόγου στὴν Κωνσταντινούπολη. Ὅταν πέθανε ὁ Πατριάρχης Μαξιμιανὸς (434) καὶ αὐτοκράτορας ἦταν ὁ Θεοδόσιος ὁ Β, στὸν θρόνο ἀνέβηκε πανηγυρικὰ ὁ Πρόκλος. Καὶ 20 Νοεµβρίου μά ιστα πρὶν ἀκόμα θάψουν τὸν Μαξιμιανό. Ἡ πρώτη φροντίδα τοῦ Πρόκλου ἦταν, ἡ ἀνακομιδὴ τοῦ ἱεροῦ λειψάνου τοῦ Χρυσοστόμου ἀπὸ τὰ Κόμανα στὴν Κωνσταντινούπολη. Ἐπίσης, ἐπὶ τοῦ Πατριάρχου αὐτοῦ καθιερώθηκε καὶ ὁ τρισάγιος ὕμνος στὶς ἐκκλησίες. Πατριάρχευσε δώδεκα χρόνια καὶ τρεῖς μῆνες. Πέθανε τὸ 447. Ἀπολυτίκιον. Ἦχος δ. Ταχὺ προκατά αβε. Λυχνία ὡς δίπυρσος, τῶν θεϊκῶν δωρεῶν, ἀκτῖσι τῆς χάριτος, φωταγωγοῦσιν ἡμᾶς, Πατέρες οἱ ἔνθεοι, Πρόκλος τοῦ Βυζαντίου, ὁ σοφὸς Ποιμενάρχης, Γρηγόριος ὁ θεόφρων, Δεκαπό εως γόνος διὸ μετὰ προθυμίας, τούτοις προσέ θωμεν. Κοντάκιον. Ἦχος γ. Ἡ Παρθένος σήμερον. Ἡ δυὰς ἡ ἔνθεος, τῶν θεοφόρων Πατέρων, βιοτῆς ὀρθότητι, καὶ τῶν δογμάτων τῇ αἴγλῃ, φάναντες, δικαιοσύνης ἐν τῷ στεφάνῳ, ὤφθησαν, τῆς Ἐκκλησίας νυμφαγωγία, ὁ Γρηγόριος καὶ Πρόκλος, οὓς εὐφημοῦντες Χριστὸν δοξάσωμεν.
