Translation of the relics of Ignatius the God-bearer of Antioch
New-martyr Demetrios of Chios
During the Little Entrance, chant the Resurrectional Apolytikion. The
Eisodikon (Entrance Hymn) is “O come, let us worship… save us, O Son
of God, Who art risen from the dead…” After the Little Entrance, chant
the apolytikia in the following order:
RESURRECTIONAL APOLYTIKION IN TONE SEVEN
Thou didst shatter death by Thy Cross, Thou didst open paradise to
the thief; Thou didst turn the sadness of the ointment-bearing women
into joy. And didst bid Thine Apostles proclaim a warning, that Thou
hast risen O Christ, granting to the world the Great Mercy.
APOLYTIKION OF ST. IGNATIUS OF ANTIOCH IN TONE FOUR
By choosing the Apostles’ way of life, thou hast succeeded to their
throne. Inspired by God, thou didst find the way to divine
contemplation through the practice of virtue. After teaching the Word
of Truth without error, thou didst defend the Faith to the very
shedding of thy blood, O Holy Martyr among bishops Ignatius.
Entreat the Lord our God to save our souls.
TROPARION OF ST. GEORGE IN TONE FOUR
As deliverer of captives and defender of the poor, healer of the infirm
and champion of kings, victorious Great-martyr George, intercede
with Christ our God that our souls may be saved.
KONTAKION OF THE PRESENTATION OF CHRIST IN TONE ONE
Thou, O Christ God, Who by Thy Birth, didst sanctify the Virgin’s
womb, and, as is meet, didst bless Simeon’s arms, and didst also come
to save us; preserve Thy fold in wars, and confirm them whom Thou
didst love, for Thou alone art the Lover of mankind.

THE EPISTLE
(For the Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost)
Make your vows to the Lord your God, and perform them.
In Judah God is known; His Name is great in Israel.
The Reading from the Second Epistle of St. Paul
to the Corinthians. (6:16-7:1)
Brethren, you are the temple of the living God; as God said,
“I will live in them and move among them, and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people. Therefore, come out from them, and
be separate from them,” says the Lord, “and touch nothing
unclean; then I will welcome you, and I will be a Father to you, and
you shall be My sons and daughters,” says the Lord Almighty.
Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves
from every defilement of body and spirit, and make holiness
perfect in the fear of God.
THE GOSPEL
(For the Seventeenth Sunday of Matthew)
The Reading from the Holy Gospel
according to St. Matthew. (15:21-28)
At that time, Jesus went to the district of Tyre and Sidon.
And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and
cried, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is
severely possessed by a demon.” But He did not answer her a
word. And His disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her
away, for she is crying after us.” He answered, “I was sent only to
the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” But she came and knelt before
Him, saying, “Lord, help me.” And He answered, “It is not fair to
take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” She said, “Yes,
Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s
table.” Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith! Be
it done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed
instantly.

Saint Ignatius was a disciple of Saint John the Theologian, and a successor of the Apostles, and he became thesecond Bishop of Antioch, after Evodus. He wrote many epistles to the faithful, strengthening them in their confession, and preserving for us the teachings of the holy Apostles. Brought to Rome under Trajan, he was surrendered to lions to be eaten, and so finished the course of martyrdom about the year 107. The remnants of his bones were carefully gathered by the faithful and brought to Antioch. He is called God-bearer, as one who bare God within himself and was aflame in heart with love for Him. Therefore, in his Epistle to the Romans (ch. 4), imploring their love not to attempt to deliver him from his longed-for martyrdom, he said, "I am the wheat of God, and am ground bby the teeth of the wild beasts, that I may be found to be the pure bread of God."
Apolytikion of Relics of Ignatius the Godbearer in the Fourth Tone
As a sharer of the ways and a successor to the throne of the Apostles, O inspired of God, thou foundest discipline to be a means of ascent to divine vision. Wherefore, having rightly divided the word of truth, thou didst also contest for the Faith even unto blood, O Hieromartyr Ignatius. Intercede with Christ our God that our souls be saved.
Kontakion of Relics of Ignatius the Godbearer in the Fourth Tone
Dawning from the East this day, divine Ignatius, that God-bearer praised of all, hath made the whole creation bright with his wise teachings of piety and is adorned with the beauty of martyrdom.
