Commemorated on December 16
The Holy Prophet Haggai was the tenth of the Twelve Minor Prophets.
He was of the Tribe of Levi and he prophesied during the times of the
Persian emperor Darius Hystaspis (prior to 500 B.C.). Upon the return of
the Jews from the Babylonian Captivity, he persuaded the people to
build the Second Temple at Jerusalem, and he proclaimed that the Messiah
would appear in this Temple in the last times.
It is believed that Haggai was buried with the priests at Jerusalem, since he was descended from Aaron.

KONTAKION - TONE 4
Podoben: “Today You have shown forth...” / Illumined by the Spirit, your
heart was a vessel of illustrious prophecy, / seeing far-off things as
though they were present. / Therefore, we venerate you, glorious prophet
Haggai.
