Dismissal Hymns Mode pl. 2 Angelic powers were above Thy tomb and they that guarded Thee became as dead. * And Mary stood by the grave seeking Your Immaculate Body. * You destroyed Hades yet remained untouched by it. * Thou didst meet the Virgin and did grant us life. * Thou who did rise from the dead, * Lord glory to You. Mode 2 The life-giving Cross of Your goodness, which we the unworthy have from You as a gift, we present to You, O Lord, as an intercessor. Save our leaders and our nation and keep them in peace, through the Theotokos, O only One who loves humanity. Mode 4 You have made the earthly beauty of the holy tabernacle of Your glory to be like the majesty of the firmament on high, O Lord. Make it strong forever and ever, and accept our supplications that we unceasingly bring to You there, at the intercession of the Theotokos. For You are the life and resurrection of all. 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.

Ἀπόστολος Γαλ. ς 11-18 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. Εὐαγγέλιον Ἰω. γ 13-17 John 3:13-17 Gospel Εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος καὶ οὐδεὶς ἀναβέβηκεν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν εἰ μὴ ὁ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβάς, ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ὁ ὤν ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ. καὶ καθὼς Μωϋσῆς ὕψωσε τὸν ὄφιν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, οὕτως ὑψωθῆναι δεῖ τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν μὴ ἀπόληται ἀλλ' ἔχῃ ζωὴν αἰώνιον. Οὕτω γὰρ ἠγάπησεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν κόσμον, ὥστε τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν μονογενῆ ἔδωκεν, ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν μὴ ἀπόληται ἀλλ' ἔχῃ ζωὴν αἰώνιον. οὐ γὰρ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἵνα κρίνῃ τὸν κόσμον, ἀλλ' ἵνα σωθῇ ὁ κόσμος δι' αὐτοῦ. BRETHREN, it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has commissioned us; he has put his seal upon us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee. But I call God to witness against me - it was to spare you that I refrained from coming to Corinth. Not that we lord it over your faith; we work with you for your joy, for you stand firm in your faith. For I made up my mind not to make you another painful visit. For if I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained? And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, for I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all. For I wrote you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you. The Lord said, "No one has ascended into heaven but he who descended from heaven, the Son of man. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him."
The serpent struck Adam in paradise and killed him. [It also struck] Israel in the camp and annihilated them. Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, the Son of Man will be lifted up. Just as those who looked with bodily eyes at the sign which Moses fastened on the cross lived bodily, so too those who look with spiritual eyes at the body of the Messiah nailed and suspended on the cross and believe in him will live [spiritually]. Thus it was revealed through this brazen [serpent], which by nature cannot suffer, that he who was to suffer on the cross is one who by nature cannot die. St. Ephrem the Syrian He cast down his rod, and it became a serpent which devoured the serpents of Egypt. This signified that the Word should become flesh to destroy the poison of the dread serpent by the forgiveness and pardon of sins. For the rod stands for the Word that is true, royal, filled with power and glorious in ruling. As the rod became a serpent, so he who was the Son of God begotten of the Father became the Son of man born of a woman. Like the serpent, he was lifted up on the cross, poured his healing medicine on the wounds of humanity. Wherefore the Lord himself says, As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up. St. Ambrose of Milan

Consecration of the Church of the Resurrection 13 September The church that is honoured far above all others is that of the Holy Resurrection, which Saint Constantine the Great constructed at the place of Golgotha, where our Saviour was crucified and buried. For a long time this place had been purposely buried beneath the earth by the Jews and heathen; furthermore, during the reign of Hadrian (117-138), a temple dedicated to Aphrodite was built over the site so that this sacred place might be even further desecrated and fall into utter oblivion. It was here that the Cross was hidden. However, at the command of the pious Emperor Constantine, excavations were made and the tokens of the saving Passion were found. It was here, then, that the very great and magnificent temple named in honour of Christ God's Resurrection-the Anastasis-was built under the supervision of the blessed Helen, while Ὁ Ἅγιος Κορνήλιος ὁ Ἱερομάρτυρας Ὁ Ἅγιος Κορνή ιος ἦταν Ρωμαῖος ἑκατόνταρχος καὶ θεοσεβούμενος. Προσῆ θε στὸν χριστιανισμὸ μὲ τὴν διδασκαλία τοῦ Ἀπ. Πέτρου καὶ ἀποφάσισε νὰ ξεκινήσει περιοδεία γιὰ νὰ διδάξει καὶ ὁ ἴδιος τὸν χριστιανισμό. Δίδαξε στὴ Φοινίκη, Κύπρο, Ἀντιόχεια καὶ Ἔφεσσο. Στὴν Σκήψη τῆς Μυσίας χειροτονήθηκε ἐπίσκοπος. Χάρη στὴν θαρραλέα ὁμολογία του ἀνάμεσα στοὺς εἰδωλολάτρες, τὸ ἔργο τοῦ ἦταν καρποφόρο. Αὐτὸ προκαλεῖ θύε α ἀντιδράσεων ἀπὸ τοὺς εἰδωλολάτρες. Ἔτσι ὁ ἔπαρχος Δημήτριος τὸν συ αμβάνει καὶ τὸν ὁδηγεῖ στὸ ναὸ τῶν εἰδωλολατρῶν, ποὺ ἐκείνη τὴν ὥρα ἦταν γεμάτος καὶ τὸν πιέζει νὰ ἀρνηθεῖ τὸ Χριστό. Ἐκεῖνος βρῆκε τὴν εὐκαιρία νὰ διδάξει τὸ Εὐαγγέ ιο σὲ ὅσους ἦταν ἐκεῖ, καὶ νὰ προαναγγεί ει ἕνα σεισμὸ ἀπὸ τὸν ὁποῖο δὲν Dracilian was Eparch of Palestine and Macarius was Archbishop of Jerusalem. It was the latter, also, who exalted the venerable Cross and performed the consecration of this temple in the year 336. Apolytikion. Fourth Tone Thou hast shown the earthly beauty of the holy tabernacle of Thy glory to be like unto the splendour of the heavenly firmament, O Lord. Strengthen it for ever and ever, and accept our prayers which we unceasingly offer therein unto Thee, through the Theotokos, O Thou Who art the Life and Resurrection of all. Kontakion. Fourth Tone The Church is shown to be a many-lighted heaven that doth shine a guiding light upon all them that do believe; wherein while standing we cry aloud: Do Thou Thyself now establish this house, O Lord. 13 Σεπτεµβρίου θὰ πάθαιναν τίποτα ὁ ἔπαρχος Δημήτριος, ἡ γυναίκα του, καὶ ὁ γιὸς του ποὺ ἦταν μέσα στὸ ναό. Ἔτσι καὶ ἔγινε. Ὅσοι ἦταν στὸ ναὸ σκοτώθηκαν ἐκτὸς τὴν οἰκογένεια τοῦ Ἔπαρχου ποὺ βαπτίστηκαν χριστιανοί. Ἀπολυτίκιον. Ἦχος δ.
