Feast of the Annunciation

Today is the beginning of our salvation and the manifestation of the mystery which is from eternity. The Son of God becomes the Son of the Virgin, and Gabriel announces grace. So with him let us also cry to the Mother of God: Rejoice, thou who art full of grace! The Lord is with thee.

Holy Apostle Aristobulus of the Seventy, Bishop of Britain.

by | Mar 15, 2018 | Saints, Uncategorized

Saint Aristobulus, the brother of Saint Barnabas is called the Apostle of Britain and was its first bishop.  He was ordained and sent to Britain by the Apostle Paul who mentions him in his epistle to the Romans (16:10). He endured the torments and malice of the pagans, eventually baptising them, and having established the Church here he reposed in peace. 

O Holy Apostle Aristobulus, intercede to our merciful God, that He may grant our souls forgiveness of sins.

Hymns of the Feast

Apolytikion

O Christ our God, begging forgiveness of our sins, we venerate your pure image O Good One. Of Your own will You condescended to ascend upon the Cross in the flesh and delivered those you created from the bondage of the enemy. Wherefore, thankfully we cry out: When You came to save the world You filled all things with joy, O our Savior.

Kontakion

The undepictable Word of the Father became depictable when He took flesh of you, O Theotokos; and when He had restored the defiled image to its ancient state, He suffused it with divine beauty. As for us, confessing our salvation, we record it in deed and word.
