Ἠχος α΄ Σῶσον, Κύριε, τὸν λαὸν σου καὶ εὐλόγησον τὴν κληρονομίαν σου, νίκας τοῖς βασιλεῦσι κατὰ βαρβάρων δωρούμενος, καὶ τὸ σὸν φυλάττων διὰ τοῦ Σταυροῦ σου πολίτευμα. Ἠχος δʹ. Ταχὺ προκατάλαβε. Οἱ Μάρτυρές σου Κύριε, ἐν τῇ ἀθλήσει αὐτῶν, στεφάνους ἐκομίσαντο τῆς ἀφθαρσίας, ἐκ σοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν· σχόντες γὰρ τὴν ἰσχύν σου, τοὺς τυράννους καθεῖλον, ἔθραυσαν καὶ δαιμόνων, τὰ ἀνίσχυρα θράση. Αὐτῶν ταῖς ἱκεσίαις, Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός, σῶσον τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν. Ἦχος δ΄ Σήμερον τῆς σωτηρίας ἡμῶν τὸ κεφάλαιον, καὶ τοῦ ἀπ’ αἰῶνος μυστηρίου ἡ φανέρωσις· ὁ Υἷός του Θεοῦ, υἱὸς τῆς Παρθένου γίνεται, καὶ Γαβριὴλ τὴν χάριν εὐαγγελίζεται. Διὸ καὶ ἡμεῖς σὺν αὐτῷ, τῇ Θεοτόκῳ βοήσωμεν· Χαῖρε Κεχαριτωμένη, ὁ Κύριος μετά σοῦ. After the Exaltation 20 September 2015 Dismissal Hymns Mode Grave You did abolish death by Your Cross. You opened to the thief paradise. You did transform the myrrhbearers lamentation. And to Your Apostles You did bid to preach. That You are risen O Christ our God, granting to the world great mercy. Mode 1 Save, O Lord, Your people and bless Your inheritance, granting victory to the faithful over the enemy, and by Your Cross protecting Your com‐ monwealth. Mode 4. Come quickly. Your Martyrs, O Lord, were worthily awarded by You * the crowns of incor‐ ruption, in that they contested for You our immortal God. * Since they pos‐ sessed Your power, they defeated the tyrants, * dashing the demons' powerless displays of defiance. * O Christ God, at their fervent entreaties, save our souls. Mode 4 Today marks the crowning of our salvation and the revelation of the mystery before all ages. For the Son of God becomes the son of the Virgin, and Gabriel proclaims the grace. Wherefore, we also cry out with him, "Hail, O full of grace, the Lord is with you. Κοντάκιον Ἠχος δʹ. Ὁ ὑψωθεὶς ἐν τῷ Σταυρῷ ἑκουσίως, τῇ ἐπωνύμῳ σου καινῇ πολιτείᾳ τοὺς οἰκτιρμούς σου δώρησαι, Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός· εὔφρανον ἐν τῇ δυνάμει σου τοὺς πιστοὺς βασιλεῖς ἡμῶν, νίκας χορηγῶν αὐτοῖς κατὰ τῶν πολεμίων· τὴν συμμαχίαν ἔχοιεν τὴν σήν, ὅπλον εἰρήνης, ἀήττητον τρόπαιον. Ἀπόστολος Γαλ. β΄ 16 - 20 Galatians 2:16 - 20 Ἀδελφοί, εἰδότες ὅτι οὐ δικαιοῦται ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ἔργων νόμου, ἐὰν μὴ διὰ πίστεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰς Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν ἐπιστεύσαμεν, ἵνα δικαιωθῶμεν ἐκ πίστεως Χριστοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων νόμου· διότι ἐξ ἔργων νόμου οὐ δικαιωθήσεται πᾶσα σάρξ. Εἰ δὲ ζητοῦντες δικαιωθῆναι ἐν Χριστῷ εὑρέθημεν καὶ αὐτοὶ ἁμαρτωλοί, ἆρα Χριστὸς ἁμαρτίας διάκονος; μὴ γένοιτο! Εἰ γὰρ, ἃ κατέλυσα, ταῦτα πάλιν οἰκοδομῶ, παραβάτην ἐμαυτὸν συνίστημι. Ἐγὼ γὰρ διὰ νόμου νόμῳ ἀπέθανον ἵνα Θεῷ ζήσω. Χριστῷ συνεσταύρωμαι· ζῶ δὲ οὐκέτι ἐγώ, ζῇ δὲ ἐν ἐμοὶ Χριστός· ὃ δὲ νῦν ζῶ ἐν σαρκί, ἐν πίστει ζῶ τῇ τοῦ Υἱοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ἀγαπήσαντός με καὶ παραδόντος ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ. Εὐαγγέλιον Kontakion Mode 4. You who were lifted on the cross voluntarily, O Christ our God, bestow Your tender compassions upon Your new community to which You gave Your name. Cause our faithful emperors to be glad in Your power, granting them the victories against their adversaries. And for an ally, Lord, may they have You, peace as their armor, the trophy invincible. Brethren, you know that a man is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the law, because by works of the law shall no one be justified. But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we ourselves were found to be sinners, is Christ then an agent of sin? Certainly not! But if I build up again those things which I tore down, then I prove myself a transgressor. For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Μᾶρκ. η΄34-38, θ΄1 Mark 8:34-38, 9:1 Εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος· Εἴ τις θέλει ὀπίσω μου ἐλθεῖν, ἀπαρνησάσθω ἑαυτὸν καὶ ἀράτω τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀκολουθείτω μοι. ὃς γὰρ ἂν θέλῃ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ σῶσαι, ἀπολέσει αὐτήν· ὃς δ᾿ ἂν ἀπολέσῃ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχὴν ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ καὶ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου, οὗτος σώσει αὐτήν. τί γὰρ ὠφελήσει ἄνθρωπον ἐὰν κερδήσῃ τὸν κόσμον ὅλον, καὶ ζημιωθῇ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ; ἢ τί δώσει ἄνθρωπος ἀντάλλαγμα τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ; ὃς γὰρ ἐὰν ἐπαισχυνθῇ με καὶ τοὺς ἐμοὺς λόγους ἐν τῇ γενεᾷ ταύτῃ τῇ μοιχαλίδι καὶ ἁμαρτωλῷ, καὶ ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ Epistle Gospel The Lord said: "If anyone wishes to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? For what can a man give in return for his life? For whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels." And he said to them, ἀνθρώπου ἐπαισχυνθήσεται αὐτὸν ὅταν ἔλθῃ ἐν "Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here τῇ δόξῃ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ἀγγέλων τῶν who will not taste death before they see the ἁγίων. Καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι εἰσί kingdom of God come with power." τινες τῶν ὧδε ἑστηκότων, οἵτινες οὐ μὴ γεύσωνται θανάτου ἕως ἂν ἴδωσι τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐληλυθυῖαν ἐν δυνάμει He who as God was beyond suffering, suffered in his own flesh as a human being. When he became flesh, being God, he did not in any way cease to be God. Precisely as he entered into the created order, he remained above creation. He remained as giver of the law when he came to serve “under the law.”He retained the inviolable divine dignity precisely when he took on “the form of a slave.”It was precisely as only begotten Son that he became “the firstborn among many brothers,”while still remaining the only begotten. So why should it seem so strange that he should suffer in the flesh according to his humanity, even while transcending suffering according to his divinity? Thus the ever astute Paul says that the Word himself who is “in the form of God”and equal to God the Father “became obedient even unto death, death of the cross.

St. Eustathius the Great Martyr The Holy Martyr Eustathius before his baptism was an illustrious Roman general named Placidas in the days of the Emperor Trajan. While hunting in the country one day, he was converted to the Faith of Christ through the apparition of an uncommonly majestic stag, be‐ tween whose antlers he saw the Cross of Christ, and through which the Lord spoke to him with a human voice. Upon returning home, he learned that his wife Ta‐ tiana had also had a vision in which she was instructed to become a Christian. They sought out the Bishop of the Christians and were baptized, Placidas receiving the name Eustathius, and Tatiana the name Theopiste; their two sons were baptized Agapius and Theopistus. The family was then subjected to such trials as Job endured. Their servants died, all their goods were stolen, and on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem they were scattered abroad, each not even knowing if the others were still alive. By the providence of God, they were united again after many years, and returned to Rome in glory. Nevertheless, when they refused to sacrifice to the idols-a public sacri‐ fice from which no Roman general could be absent-the Emperor Hadrian, who had succeeded Trajan, had them put into a large bronze device in the shape of a bull, which was heated with fire until they died. When their holy bodies were removed, they were found to be with‐ out harm. They suffered martyrdom about the year 126. Apolytikion. Fourth Tone Thy Martyrs, O Lord, in their courageous contest for Thee received as the prize the crowns of incorruption and life from Thee, our immortal God. For since they possessed Thy strength, they cast down the tyrants and wholly destroyed the demons' strengthless presumption. O Christ God, by their prayers, save our souls, since Thou art merciful. Ὁ Ἅγιος Εὐστάθιος καὶ οἱ σὺν αὐτῷ Ἦταν ἀρχικὰ εἰδωλολάτρης καὶ ὀνομαζόταν Πλακίδας. Ἦταν ἀρχιστράτηγος στὸ ρωμαϊκὸ στρατὸ ἐπὶ αὐτοκρατορίας Τραϊανοῦ. Ὅταν ὁ Χριστὸς παρουσιάσθηκε μπροστὰ του μιὰ μέρα στὸ δάσος μὲ τὴν μορφὴ ἐλαφιοῦ, ὁ Εὐστάθιος πίστεψε καὶ βαπτίσθηκε μαζὶ μὲ τὴν σύζυγό του Θεοπίστη καὶ τὰ παιδιὰ τους, Ἀγάπιο καὶ Θεόπιστο. Μόλις πληροφορήθηκε ὁ αὐτοκράτορας ὅτι ὁ ἀξιωματικός του ἔγινε χριστιανός, τὸν ἀπέμπεψε ἀπὸ τὸ στρατὸ καὶ τὸν ἐξόρισε μαζὶ μὲ τὴν οἰκογένειά του. Μάλιστα, στὸν δρόμο γιὰ τὴν ἐξορία ὁ Εὐστάθιος χωρίσθηκε ἀπὸ τὴν σύζυγό του καὶ τὰ παιδιά του. Ἔπειτα ἀπὸ κάποια χρόνια, ὁ Τραϊανὸς χρειάσθηκε ξανὰ τὴν πολύτιμη προσφορὰ τοῦ Εὐσταθίου καὶ τὸν ἀνακάλεσε στὸ στράτευμά του. Οἱ πολεμικὲς ἱκανότητες τοῦ Ἁγίου χάρισαν στὸν αὐτοκράτορα μεγάλες νίκες. Μάλιστα ὁ Εὐστάθιος 20 September 20 Σεπτεµβρίου σὲ μία ἀπὸ τὶς ἐκστρατεῖες του βρῆκε ξανὰ τὴν οἰκογένειά του, ἡ ὁποία ὅλα αὐτὰ τὰ χρόνια εἶχε περάσει πολλὲς κακουχίες. Λίγο καιρὸ ἀργότερα ὁ Ἀνδριανός, διάδοχος τοῦ Τραϊανοῦ, ζήτησε ἀπὸ τὸν Εὐστάθιο νὰ παραστεῖ σὲ θυσία ποὺ θὰ γινόταν σὲ εἰδωλολατρικοὺς θεούς. Ὁ Εὐστάθιος ἀρνήθηκε καὶ ὁ αὐτοκράτορας διέταξε νὰ τὸν θανατώσουν, κλείνοντάς τον σὲ πυρακτωμένο χάλκινο βόδι. Ἀπολυτίκιον. Ἦχος α’. Ἀγρευθεῖς οὐρανόθεν πρὸς εὐσέβειαν ἔνδοξε, τῇ τοῦ σοὶ ὀφθέντος δυνάμει, δι’ ἐλάφου Εὐστάθιε, ποικίλους καθυπέστης πειρασμούς, καὶ ἤστραψας ἐν ἄθλοις ἱεροῖς, σὺν τῇ θείᾳ σου συμβίω καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς, φαιδρύνων τοὺς βοῶντάς σοι. Δόξα τῷ σὲ δοξάσαντι Χριστῷ, δόξα τῷ σὲ στεφανώσαντι, δόξα τῷ δείξαντί σε ἐν παντί, Ἰὼβ παμμάκαρ δεύτερον.
