February 10-St.Charalambos


Apolytikion


O wise Charalambos,
you were proven an unshakable
pillar of the Church of Christ;
an ever-shining lamp of the universe.
You shone in the world by your martyrdom.
You delivered us from the moonless night of idolatry,O blessed one.
Wherefore, boldly intercede to Christ
that we may be saved.

Kontakion

O Priest-martyr, athlete, champion Charalambos,
your relics are a priceless treasure of the Church.
Wherefore she rejoices, glorifying the Creator.

May his blessings and the joy (chara) of Jesus Christ be with all of you. You may read more bout his life here.
