Wisdom. To the Apostles comes Grace, to the Martyrs, the crowning in their Struggles, and to the Prophets vision of the future.

Let no one doubt, or be suspicious; for He appeared to Mary, and after that to those who went fishing. Then He appeared to His Eleven Initiates, as they were reclining, whom He sent to Baptise. And He Ascended into Heaven after He had descended, establishing His warning by a multitude of Wonders.

The

gladdening Nativity today of John the Forerunner dispels the sadness attached to the voicelessness of his Father and to his Mothers childlessness. Moreover it proclaims the Joy and Exultation still to come. Wherefore is all Creation joyfully celebrating it. Prophets proclaimed of old and later the Apostles taught, and Godly-minded Martyrs Confessed distinctly, O Pure One, Thy Son to be the God of all, O Theotokos. And with them we magnify Thee, for through Thee, O Virgin, we were Redeemed from the former Condemnation.
