Tonias, Ph.D., Cathedral Dean λα Δεκεμβρίου,βιζ Μετὰ τὴν Χριστοῦ Γεννήσεως Sunday After the Nativity 31 December 2017 Ἀπολυτίκια Ἦχος πλ. α Τὸν συνάναρχον Λόγον Πατρὶ καὶ Πνεύματι, τὸν ἐκ Παρθένου τεχθέντα εἰς σωτηρίαν ἡμῶν, ἀνυμνήσωμεν πιστοὶ καὶ προσκυνήσωμεν ὅτι ηὐδόκησε σαρκί, ἀνελθεῖν ἐν τῷ σταυρῷ, καὶ θάνατον ὑπομεῖναι, καὶ ἐγεῖραι τοὺς τεθνεῶτας, ἐν τῇ ἐνδόξῳ Ἀναστάσει αὐτοῦ. Ἦχος δ Ἡ Γέννησίς σου Χριστὲ ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, ἀνέτειλε τῷ κόσμῳ τὸ φῶς τὸ τῆς γνώσεως ἐν αὐτῇ γὰρ οἱ τοῖς ἄστροις λατρεύοντες, ὑπὸ ἀστέρος ἐδιδάσκοντο, σὲ προσκυνεῖν, τὸν Ἥλιον τῆς δικαιοσύνης, καὶ σὲ γινώσκειν ἐξ ὕψους ἀνατολήν. Κύριε δόξα σοι. Ἦχος β Εὐαγγελίζου Ἰωσήφ, τῷ Δαυῒδ τὰ θαύματα τῷ Θεοπάτορι Παρθένον εἶδες κυοφορήσασαν, μετὰ Μάγων προσεκύνησας, μετὰ Ποιμένων ἐδοξολόγησας, δι' Ἀγγέλου χρηματισθείς. Ἱκέτευε Χριστὸν τὸν Θεόν, σωθῆναι τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν.

Διὸ καὶ ἡμεῖς σὺν αὐτῷ, τῇ Θεοτόκῳ βοήσωμεν Χαῖρε Κεχαριτωμένη, ὁ Κύριος μετά σοῦ. Dismissal Hymns Mode pl. 1 The Co-Eternal Logos with Father and Spirit, * who from the Virgin was born for the salvation of us, * let us sing a hymn of praise and worship. * For He suffered in the flesh, * being raised upon the Cross and death He endured; * and raising the dead, * in the glory of His Resurrection. Mode 4 Your nativity, O Christ our God, has caused the light of knowledge to rise upon the world. For therein the worshippers of the stars were by a star instructed to worship You, the Sun of Righteousness, and to know You as Orient from on high. Glory to You, O Lord. Mode 2 Annunciate the miracles to David the ancestor of God, O Joseph. You saw the Virgin pregnant. You glorified with the shepherds. You worshipped with the Magi. And you were warned by an Angel. Entreat Christ God to save our souls. 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. Continued on next page

Κοντάκιον Ἦχος γʹ Ἡ Παρθένος σήμερον, τὸν ὑπερούσιον τίκτει, καὶ ἡ γῆ τὸ Σπήλαιον, τῷ ἀπροσίτῳ προσάγει. Ἄγγελοι μετὰ Ποιμένων δοξολογοῦσι. Μάγοι δὲ μετὰ ἀστέρος ὁδοιποροῦσι δι' ἡμᾶς γὰρ ἐγεννήθη, Παιδίον νέον, ὁ πρὸ αἰώνων Θεός. Kontakion Mode 3 The Virgin today gives birth to the Super-essential. To the Unapproachable, earth provides the grotto. Angels sing and with the shepherds offer glory. Following a star the Magi are proceeding. He was born for our salvation, a newborn Child, the pre-eternal God.

Εὐαγγέλιον Μᾶρκ. α 1-8 Mark 1:1-8 Gospel Ἀρχὴ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, υἱοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ. Ὡς γέγραπται ἐν τοῖς προφήταις, ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἀποστέλλω τὸν ἄγγελόν μου πρὸ προσώπου σου, ὃς κατασκευάσει τὴν ὁδόν σου ἔμπροσθέν σου φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδὸν Κυρίου, εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρίβους αὐτοῦ, ἐγένετο Ἰωάννης βαπτίζων ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ κηρύσσων βάπτισμα μετανοίας εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν. Καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο πρὸς αὐτὸν πᾶσα ἡ Ἰουδαία χώρα καὶ οἱ Ἱεροσολυμῖται, καὶ ἐβαπτίζοντο πάντες ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ ποταμῷ ὑπ' αὐτοῦ ἐξομολογούμενοι τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν. Ἦν δὲ ὁ Ἰωάννης ἐνδεδυμένος τρίχας καμήλου καὶ ζώνην δερματίνην περὶ τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐσθίων ἀκρίδας καὶ μέλι ἄγριον. Καὶ ἐκήρυσσε λέγων ἔρχεται ὁ ἰσχυρότερός μου ὀπίσω μου, οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς κύψας λῦσαι τὸν Timothy, my son, always be steady, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil your ministry. For I am already on the point of being sacrificed; the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing. The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, 'Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who shall prepare your way; the voice of one crying in the wilderness: prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.' John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. And there went out to him all the country of Judea, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. Now John was clothed with camel's hair, and had a leather girdle around his waist, and ate locusts and wild honey. And he preached, saying, "After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to Continued on next page

ἱμάντα τῶν ὑποδημάτων αὐτοῦ ἐγὼ μὲν ἐβάπτισα ὑμᾶς ἐν ὕδατι, αὐτὸς δὲ βαπτίσει ὑμᾶς ἐν Πνεύματι Ἁγίῳ. Ss. Joseph, David, and James The Holy Prophet-King David, St Joseph the Betrothed, and St James the Brother of the Lord are commemorated on the Sunday after the Nativity. If there is no Sunday between December 25 and January 1, their commemoration is moved to December 26. At an early date, some churches in the East began to commemorate certain important figures of the New Testament at the time of Theophany, and later during the Nativity season. In Syria, for example, St Stephen (December 27), Sts James (April 30) and John stoop down and untie. I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit." Sunday after Christmas (September 26), and Sts Peter and Paul ( June 29) were commemorated near the end of December. In Jerusalem, the saints mentioned above were combined with a feast that the Jews of Hebron celebrated on December 25 or 26 in honor of the Old Testament Patriarch Jacob. Later on, the Christians substituted St James (October 23) for Jacob, and then the commemoration of the Brother of the Lord became associated with his ancestor King David. In time, St. Joseph was linked with Sts David and James. Ὁ Ἅγιος Ζωτικὸς ὁ Ὀρφανοτρόφος Γεννήθηκε καὶ ἀνατράφηκε στὴν Ρώμη, ἀπὸ εὐγενὴ οἰκογένεια, μὲ πο ὴ εὐ άβεια καὶ παιδεία. Τὸν στό ιζε πο ὴ φιλανθρωπία καὶ τὸν διέκρινε ἡ εἰ ικρινὴς προσπάθεια στὸ νὰ ὑπηρετεῖ τὸν Χριστό, πράττοντας τὶς ἐντολές Του. Γι αὐτά του τὰ χαρίσματα, ὁ Ζωτικὸς ἦταν πολὺ ἀγαπητὸς στὸν Μεγά ο Κωνσταντῖνο (330 μ.χ.), ὁ ὁποῖος, ἀφοῦ ἔκτισε τὴν Κωνσταντινούπολη καὶ τὴν ἀνέδειξε πρωτεύουσα τοῦ κράτους του, προσκά εσε σ αὐτὴν τὸν Ζωτικὸ μὲ ἄ ους εὐσεβεῖς ἄνδρες, γιὰ νὰ τοὺς ἔχει ἐκεῖ πολύτιμους ἐργάτες τῆς χριστιανικῆς ἀγάπης. Ὁ Ἅγιος Ζωτικός, διακρίθηκε κυρίως στὴν περιποίηση τῶν λεπρῶν. Τοὺς ὁποίους πλησίαζε χωρὶς φόβο, δίνοντας σ αὐτοὺς βοηθήματα καὶ παρηγοροῦσε τὴν δυστυχία τους μὲ ἀδελφικὴ ἀφοσίωση. Μετὰ τὸν θάνατο τοῦ Μεγά ου Κωνσταντίνου, ὁ γιός του Κωνστάντιος, ἀκολούθησε ἄ ους δρόμους καὶ κακομεταχειρίστηκε τὸν Ζωτικό, μὲ ἀποτέ εσμα ὁ φιλάνθρωπος αὐτὸς ἄνδρας, νὰ πεθάνει ἀπὸ τὶς κακουχίες καὶ τὶς ταλαιπωρίες. Ἀ ὰ ὁ θάνατός του, κίνησε τὴν μετάνοια τοῦ Κωνσταντίου. Ἀφοῦ μεταμελήθηκε, τίμησε τὴν μνήμη του κτίζοντας ἕνα λεπροκομεῖο γιὰ τὴν περίθαλψη τῶν λεπρῶν. Καὶ τὸ προίκισε μὲ πο ὰ κτήματα καὶ εἰσοδήματα. Ἀπὸ τότε, πο οὶ αὐτοκράτορες, ὅπως ὁ Κωνσταντῖνος Ζ ὁ Πορφυρογέννητος (945), ὁ Ἰωάννης ὁ Τσιμισκὴς (963 976), ὁ Ρωμανὸς ὁ Γ (1028 1034), ἐξασφά ιζαν τὴν καλὴ λειτουργία του καὶ ἐξυπηρετοῦσε πλῆθος λεπρῶν, χάρη στὴν ἀρχικὴ φιλανθρωπικὴ ἐνέργεια τοῦ Ἁγίου Ζωτικοῦ
