The Twenty-Ninth Day of the Blessed Month of Baramoudah
Baramouda 29
Departure of St.Erastus, the Apostle
On this day, St. Erastus, one of the Seventy Apostles,
departed. He received the grace of the holy spirit in the upper room of
Zion with the Disciples. He preached, ministered, and suffered along with
them frequently. They laid the hands on him, and ordained him bishop for
Jerusalem. He taught there and in many other places, and God worked great
signs and wonders on his hands. As example he changed bitter salty water
to sweet water. He labored with St. Paul the apostle in his many journeys,
for he ministered unto him. He is mentioned in chapter nineteen of the
Acts of the Apostles. After he reached a good old age, he departed in peace.
May His prayers be with us. Amen.
Departure of St.Acacius, Bishop of Jerusalem
On this day also, St. Acacius, Bishop of Jerusalem,
departed. He was a pure and righteous man. He was persecuted for a long
time, and God wrought many signs and wonders by his hands, then departed
in peace.
May His prayers be with us and Glory be to our God forever. Amen.
