22nd April: Today's Saint
O Saint of God, intercede for us.The Saint of the day 22 April

† Our Holy Father Theodore of Sykeon (613)

audio.ancientfaith.com/sotd/04_22_theodore_syk.mp3

He was born in Sykeon in Galatia in Asia Minor and he was reared by his mother alone. At the age of ten, Theodore took up a life of strict asceticism, devoting himself to prayer, fasting and vigils.

His mother planned for him to enter the military; but St George appeared to her in a dream, telling her that Theodore was to serve the King of Heaven rather than any earthly king. After this, Saint George appeared to Theodore many times, sometimes instructing him, sometimes saving him from danger.

After a trip to the Holy Land, Theodore became a monk in Galatia we should say "officially became a monk," since he had been living as a monk from the age of ten. Once he had taken monastic vows, Theodore redoubled his ascetical labors, which exceeded those of any other monk of his time: for his asceticism, he was sometimes called the "Iron-eater."

Around 584 was ordained Bishop of Anastasiopolis in Galatia, much against his will. He served his flock faithfully for ten years, then begged to be relieved of his episcopal duties so that he might return to his beloved monastic life. Even during his lifetime, he was famed for his miracles and his authority to cast out demons. He departed this life in peace in 613.

Troparion — Tone 2
You were known to be sanctified from your earliest infancy. / You were revealed to be filled with grace. / You enlightened the world with miracles / and drove away a multitude of demons, holy hierarch Theodore. / Therefore, pray to the Lord for us.

Kontakion — Tone 3
Mounting upon the virtues as upon a fiery chariot, / you ascended to the heavenly mansions, God-bearing Theodore. / You lived with men like an angel, / and as a man you joined the angelic choir. / Therefore, Venerable Father, you have been shown to be a divine vessel of miracles. ...
