Commemorated on April 4
Saint Zosimas was born near the end of the fifth century, and lived
in a monastery by the Jordan River. He met St Mary of Egypt (April 1),
gave her Holy Communion, then buried her.
St Zosimas lived to be one hundred years old, then fell asleep in the Lord around 560.
TROPARION - TONE 1
Let us the faithful praise Zosimas the offspring of the wilderness, /
The angel in the flesh and the boast of monastics. / With him, let us
acclaim holy Mary of Egypt / Whose life transcended the limits of
nature. / Together, let us cry to them: / Glory to him who strengthened
you! / Glory to him who sanctified you! / Glory to him who through you
works healing for all!
KONTAKION - TONE 3
Let us all praise the righteous Zosimas, the boast of monastics, / And
with him, Mary who in the desert lived the angelic life. / Let us cry to
them in faith: / Deliver from harm and corrupting passions, / Those who
celebrate your radiant memory!
