November 26
Reading:
Saint Alypius was from Adrianople of Bithynia; having
lived upon a pillar for fifty-three years, he reposed about the year
607, at the age of one hundred.
Apolytikion of Alypius the Stylite in the First Tone
Thou becamest a pillar of patience and didst emulate the
Forefathers, O righteous one: Job in his sufferings, Joseph in
temptations, and the life of the bodiless while in the body, O Alypius ,
our righteous Father, intercede with Christ God that our souls be
saved.
Kontakion of Alypius the Stylite in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone
Today the Church doth glorify and hymn thee, O Alypius, as a
foundation of virtues and comeliness of the ascetics and the monks. By
thy prayers, as the namesake of true freedom from sorrow, free from
their grievous sins all them that praise and honour thy struggles and
deeds of excellence.
