Saint Athanasius of Alexandria
May 2nd, 2008 by michelle
Today we had the joy of celebrating our parish’s patronal feast of Saint Athanasius of Alexandria! Follow the link to read more about him- there is too much to post on my blog.
I love the troparian to St. Athanasius (can you guess why?):
O holy father Athanasius, like a pillar of orthodoxy you refuted the heretical nonsense of Arius by insisting that the Father and the Son are equal in essence. O venerable father, beg Christ our God to save our souls.
Happy Feast Day to you and your Parish! Many Years!
