From the Menaion - 27 January

Synaxarion


On 27 January, we commemorate the transfer of the remains of our Father among the Saints, John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople.


Although dead, you still occupy the throne of a bishop. Alive in God, you still say, "Pease to all" from Heaven. On the twenty-seventh, Byzantium received your body in a golden reliquary with reverent respect.


By his holy prayers, O our God, have mercy on us and save us. Amen.
