The Saint of the day 24 September (1)† Holy Protomartyr Thecla, Equal to the Apostles (1st c.)
audio.ancientfaith.com/sotd/09_24_thecla_pc.mp3
She was born in Iconium of prominent pagan parents. At the age of eighteen she was instructed in the Faith of Christ by the Apostle Paul himself. She forsook her family and her betrothed, vowing herself to a life of virginity in the service of Christ.
She traveled in the ministry of the Gospel with St Paul. After many travels and sufferings for the sake of Christ, she retired to Seleucia to devote herself to prayer and asceticism. There she healed many of the sick by her prayers, and brought many more to the Faith. Some local doctors envied her and sent some young men to rape her, superstitiously thinking that her healing powers might reside in her virginity.
The Prologue says 'Thecla fled from these insolent young men and, when she saw that they would catch her, prayed to God for help in front of a rock, and the rock opened and hid the holy maiden and bride of Christ. This rock was her hiding-place and her tomb.'
Troparion — Tone 4
You were enlightened by the words of Paul, O Bride of God, Thekla, / and your faith was confirmed by Peter, O Chosen One of God. / You became the first sufferer and martyr among women, / by entering into the flames as into a place of gladness. / For when you accepted the Cross of Christ, / the demonic powers were frightened away. / O all-praised One, intercede before Christ God that our souls may be saved.
Kontakion — Tone 8
O glorious Thekla, virginity was your splendor, / the crown of martyrdom your adornment and the faith you trust! / You turned a burning fire into refreshing dew, / and with your prayers appeased pagan fury, O First Woman Martyr!
23 September† The Conception of John the Baptist
"On this day are celebrated God's mercy, His wondrous act and His wisdom: His mercy towards the devout and righteous parents of St John, the aged Zacharias and Elisabeth, who had all their lives begged a child of God; the wonder of the conception of John in Elisabeth's more-than-aged womb; and the wisdom of the dispensation of man's salvation."
(Prologue) The story of the Baptist's conception is told in the first chapter of St Luke's Gospel.
Troparion, Tone 4
Sing, O barren one that didst not bear, for thou hast conceived the lamp of the Sun Who is to enlighten the whole world suffering blindness. O Zacharias rejoice and shout: "The prophet of the Most High is to be born."
Kontakion, Tone 1
Great Zacharias radiantly rejoices together with Elizabeth: she worthily conceived John the Forerunner whom the Angel announced with great gladness and whom we honour as an initiate of grace.
