Today we commemorate the translation of the Holy incorrupt relics of Saint John Maximovitch. May we have his holy intercessions always!
“Like a spiritual daystar in heaven’s firmament, thou didst encompass the whole world and didst enlighten men’s souls. Hence thy name is glorified throughout the East and West, for thou didst shine forth with grace of the Sun of righteousness, O John our beloved shepherd. Wherefore, cease not to entreat Christ, that He show mercy and redeem our souls!”
