December 16
Reading:
The Prophet Aggaeus, whose name means "festive," was born
in Babylon at the time of the captivity Of the Jews. He began to
prophesy in Jerusalem after their return thereto, and to admonish the
people to rebuild the Temple, in the days of Zorobabel, the second year
of the reign of Darius Hystaspes, King of Persia, about the year 520
before Christ. His prophecy, divided into two chapters, is ranked tenth
among the minor Prophets.
Apolytikion in the Second Tone
As we celebrate the memory of Thy Prophet Aggaeus, O Lord, through him we beseech Thee to save our souls.
Kontakion in the Second Tone
Illumined in mind with streams of light from Heaven's heights,
thou brightly didst shine in prophecy throughout the world; and in
manifesting types of Christ's dispensation, which was to come, thou
becamest illustrious, O Prophet Aggaeus, wise in things divine.
