Saint Saint Gregory was born in Neocaesarea of Pontus to parents who
Sophia were not Christians. He studied in Athens, in Alexandria, in Beirut,
and finally for five years in Caesarea of Palestine under Origen, by
Cathedral whom he was also instructed in the Faith of Christ. Then, in the year
240, he became bishop of his own city, wherein he found only seven-
Miami, teen Christians. By the time the Saint reposed about the year 265,
Florida there were only seventeen unbelievers left there. Virtually the whole

Resurrectional Apolytikion - Tone Pl. 1

Τὸν συνάναρχον Λόγον Πατρὶ καὶ Πνεύματι,

Let us worship the Word, O ye faithful, praising Him that with the Father and the Spirit
is co-beginningless God, Who was born of a pure Virgin that we all be saved; for He was

pleased to mount the Cross in the flesh that He assumed, accepting thus to endure
death. And by His glorious rising, He also willed to resurrect the dead.

Apolytykion for St. Gregory the Wonderworker Pl. 4

Εν προσευχαίς γρηγορών
By vigilance in prayer, and continuance in the working of wonders, thou didst acquire
thine achievements as a surname; wherefore, intercede with Christ our God, O Father

Gregory, to enlighten our souls, lest we sleep in sin unto death.

Apolytikion for St. Sophia Tone 3

Χαίρει ἔχουσα ἡ Ἐκκλησία,

Having you and your three daughters, as a sacred boast the Church rejoices, and with
gladness she praises you, You are to me my pride and joy, as are the most precious relics

of your children; Oh Glorious Martyrs: Sophia, Faith, Hope and Love, intercede to
Christ our God to save our souls.

Kontakion - Tone 2

Ο καθαρώτατος ναός τού Σωτήρος,

Today, the most pure temple of the Savior, the precious bridal chamber and Virgin, the
sacred treasure of God, enters the house of the Lord, bringing the grace of the Divine

Spirit. The Angels of God praise her. She is the heavenly tabernacle. .

Epistle Reading

The reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Galatians 6:11-18.

Brethren, see with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. It is those who
want to make a good showing in the flesh that would compel you to be circumcised, and only
in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. For even those who re-
ceive circumcision do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised
that they may glory in your flesh. But far be it from me to glory except in the cross of our
Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. For nei-
ther circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. Peace and mer-
cy be upon all who walk by this rule, upon the Israel of God. Henceforth let no man trouble
me; for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with
your spirit, brethren. Amen.

Gospel Reading

The Reading is from Luke 12:16-21

The Lord said this parable: "The land of a rich man brought forth plentifully; and he thought
to himself, 'What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?' And he said, 'I will do this: I
will pull down my barns, and build larger ones; and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
And I will say to my soul, 'Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; take your
ease, eat, drink, be merry.' But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul is required of
you; and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' So is he who lays up treasure for
himself, and is not rich toward God." As he said these things, he cried out: "He who has ears
to hear, let him hear."
