The Three Hierarchs: St. Basil the Great, St. Gregory the Theologian, St. John Chrysostom - January 30

The Three Hierarchs

Apolytikion
The three most great luminaries of the Three-Sun Divinity
have illumined all of the world with the rays of doctrines divine and true;
they are the sweetly-flowing rivers of wisdom,
who with godly knowledge have watered all creation in clear and mighty streams:
The great and sacred Basil, and the Theologian, wise Gregory,
together with the renowned John, the famed Chrysostom of golden speech.
Let us all who love their divinely-wise words come together, honouring them with hymns;
for ceaselessly they offer entreaty for us to the Trinity.

Kontakion
Receive, O Lord, the Sacred Heralds who preached God, the pinnacle of Teachers,
unto the enjoyment of Your riches and rest.
You have received their labors and their suffering as being above and beyond all fruitful offering.
For You alone glorify Your Saints.
