Apostle Tertius

Revision as of 15:42, October 11, 2006 by Andrew (talk | contribs) (add hymns)

The holy, glorious, all-laudable Apostle Tertius is numbered among the Seventy Apostles. He wrote down the Apostle Paul's letter to the Romans, and was Bishop in Iconium after the Apostle Sosipater. He died a martyr. The Church remembers St. Tertius on October 30 and November 10.

Hymns

Troparion (Tone 3) [1]

Holy Apostles, Erastus, Olympas, Herodian, Sosipater, Quartus and Tertius,
entreat the merciful God,
to grant our souls forgiveness of transgressions.

Kontakion (Tone 2)

Illumined by divine light, O holy apostles,
you wisely destroyed the works of idolatry.
When you caught all the pagans you brought them to the Master
and taught them to glorify the Trinity.
