Translation of the relics of Ignatius the God-bearer of Antioch

New-martyr Demetrios of Chios

During the Little Entrance, chant the Resurrectional Apolytikion. The

Eisodikon (Entrance Hymn) is “O come, let us worship… save us, O Son

of God, Who art risen from the dead…” After the Little Entrance, chant

the apolytikia in the following order:

RESURRECTIONAL APOLYTIKION IN TONE SEVEN

Thou didst shatter death by Thy Cross, Thou didst open paradise to

the thief; Thou didst turn the sadness of the ointment-bearing women

into joy. And didst bid Thine Apostles proclaim a warning, that Thou

hast risen O Christ, granting to the world the Great Mercy.

APOLYTIKION OF ST. IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH IN TONE FOUR

By choosing the Apostles’ way of life, thou hast succeeded to their

throne. Inspired by God, thou didst find the way to divine

contemplation through the practice of virtue. After teaching the Word

of Truth without error, thou didst defend the Faith to the very

shedding of thy blood, O Holy Martyr among bishops Ignatius.

Entreat the Lord our God to save our souls.

TROPARION OF ST. GEORGE IN TONE FOUR

As deliverer of captives and defender of the poor, healer of the infirm

and champion of kings, victorious Great-martyr George, intercede

with Christ our God that our souls may be saved.

KONTAKION OF THE PRESENTATION OF CHRIST IN TONE ONE

Thou, O Christ God, Who by Thy Birth, didst sanctify the Virgin’s

womb, and, as is meet, didst bless Simeon’s arms, and didst also come

to save us; preserve Thy fold in wars, and confirm them whom Thou

didst love, for Thou alone art the Lover of mankind.

THE EPISTLE

(For the Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost)

Make your vows to the Lord your God, and perform them.

In Judah God is known; His Name is great in Israel.

The Reading from the Second Epistle of St. Paul

to the Corinthians. (6:16-7:1)

Brethren, you are the temple of the living God; as God said,

“I will live in them and move among them, and I will be their God,

and they shall be my people. Therefore, come out from them, and

be separate from them,” says the Lord, “and touch nothing

unclean; then I will welcome you, and I will be a Father to you, and

you shall be My sons and daughters,” says the Lord Almighty.

Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves

from every defilement of body and spirit, and make holiness

perfect in the fear of God.

THE GOSPEL

(For the Seventeenth Sunday of Matthew)

The Reading from the Holy Gospel

according to St. Matthew. (15:21-28)

At that time, Jesus went to the district of Tyre and Sidon.

And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and

cried, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is

severely possessed by a demon.” But He did not answer her a

word. And His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her

away, for she is crying after us.” He answered, “I was sent only to

the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” But she came and knelt before

Him, saying, “Lord, help me.” And He answered, “It is not fair to

take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” She said, “Yes,

Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s

table.” Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith! Be

it done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed

instantly.

Saint Ignatius was a disciple of Saint John the Theologian, and a successor of the Apostles, and he became thesecond Bishop of Antioch, after Evodus. He wrote many epistles to the faithful, strengthening them in their confession, and preserving for us the teachings of the holy Apostles. Brought to Rome under Trajan, he was surrendered to lions to be eaten, and so finished the course of martyrdom about the year 107. The remnants of his bones were carefully gathered by the faithful and brought to Antioch. He is called God-bearer, as one who bare God within himself and was aflame in heart with love for Him. Therefore, in his Epistle to the Romans (ch. 4), imploring their love not to attempt to deliver him from his longed-for martyrdom, he said, "I am the wheat of God, and am ground bby the teeth of the wild beasts, that I may be found to be the pure bread of God."

Apolytikion of Relics of Ignatius the Godbearer in the Fourth Tone

As a sharer of the ways and a successor to the throne of the Apostles, O inspired of God, thou foundest discipline to be a means of ascent to divine vision. Wherefore, having rightly divided the word of truth, thou didst also contest for the Faith even unto blood, O Hieromartyr Ignatius. Intercede with Christ our God that our souls be saved.

Kontakion of Relics of Ignatius the Godbearer in the Fourth Tone

Dawning from the East this day, divine Ignatius, that God-bearer praised of all, hath made the whole creation bright with his wise teachings of piety and is adorned with the beauty of martyrdom.
