Orthodox Roots Roots

February 16


Feast of St. Juliana
Nicomedia

Ton 4
Troparion to St. Honest, priest,
(Natalice in 270 AD)

You have been converted by St. Saturnin *
He ordained thee and thou wast his disciple .*
And you preached Navarre *
Bringing the Light of Christ to Gentiles .*
You was master of St. Firmin of Amiens *
Saint Honest, ask God to save our souls!

For the date of the saint's feast, we chose the date of natalice (birth to Heaven) more traditional in the Orthodox Church. The troparia of our invention are not written in rhymed Alexandrine, and can sing the traditional Slavic colors. We in the West many intercessors who watch local also on us for centuries. Many are, alas, completely forgotten. It is natural that we celebrate together with the holy Russian, Greek, Serbian or Romanian who brought Orthodoxy in our land. Often, these relics blessed saints abandoned, have, when they were revered and honored an icon, shown the grace of God through the miracle of myrrh.
That the prayers of our fathers in the holy Orthodox faith of the West, and our sponsors spiritual saints Eastern Orthodox acting together, lead us to the eternal kingdom of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit! Amen!
