July 28
Reading:
These Apostles of the Seventy are mentioned in Acts 6:5.
Saint Prochoros became Bishop of Nicomedia and reposed in peace. Saint
Nicanor was stoned to death in Jerusalem. Saint Timon became Bishop of
Bostra in Arabia and ended his life in martyrdom by fire at the hands of
the pagans. Saint Parmenas died in peace in Jerusalem.
Apolytikion in the Third Tone
O Holy Apostles, intercede to our merciful God, that He may grant our souls forgiveness of sins.
Kontakion in the First Tone
By faith ye were shown forth as the Word's hallowed deacons, His
ven'rable eye-witnesses, and chosen vessels, Nicanor and Prochoros,
glorious Timon and Parmenas; hence we celebrate today your sacred
memorial, and with joy of heart, we keep the feast now in gladness,
whereon we all call you blessed.
