Christ Is Risen! Truly He Is RisenThe Saint of the day 9 May† Holy Martyr Christopher (3rd c.)He was originally named Reprobus. In the time of the persecutions under the Emperor Decius, Reprobus, seeing the sufferings of the Christians, rebuked the rulers for their cruelty. The governor sent soldiers to arrest him, but he converted them and was baptised along with them, receiving the name Christopher.After he was brought before the governor, he was imprisoned with two harlots sent to seduce him, but he converted them also. He, the soldiers, and the former harlots were subjected to torture and finally beheaded.It is this Saint Christopher who is portrayed on the medals often worn for protection in the Latin West. The image of him carrying the child Jesus comes from his name, which means 'Christ-bearer,' not from any incident in his life.Troparion — Tone 4O Christopher, robed in the purple of your martyrdom, / You came before the Lord of heaven; / Therefore with the choirs of angels, / You now sing the Thrice-Holy Hymn. / Intercede for the salvation of those who honor you. ...
