Holy Glorious and Great Martyr Demetrius the
Outpourer of Myrrh. Saturday November 8th, 2014

He was a native of Thessalonica,
born of noble parents. His wisdom
and distinction in battle earned
him rapid advancement in the
service of the Empire: in time he
was appointed commander of all
the Roman forces in Thessaly, and
Proconsul of Hellas. Despite these
worldly honors, Demetrius put his
Christian faith before all, and by
his words and example brought many pagans to faith in
Christ. When the Emperor Maximian, a persecutor of
Christians, came to Thessalonica he appointed games and
public sacrifices to celebrate his recent victory over the
Scythians. Some jealous pagans used the visit to
denounce Demetrius to the Emperor. Maximian had
Demetrius cast into a fetid cell in the basement of some
nearby baths. Maximian had brought with him a huge
barbarian of tremendous strength named Lyaios, who
fought many men in the arena and defeated them all, to
the entertainment of the Emperor and the crowds. A
young Christian named Nestor determined to show the
people that the only true strength is in Christ: he visited
Demetrius in his cell and asked for his blessing to
challenge Lyaios to combat.
Fr. Dcn Nektarios Raie
The Martyr made the sign of the Cross over Nestor and
sent him to the arena with his blessing. Nestor, a young
boy, cried out before the Emperor 'God of Demetrius, help
me!' and quickly killed the mighty Lyaios, to the
astonishment of the crowd. !The infuriated Emperor had
Nestor slain with his own sword, and sent soldiers to
Demetrius' cell, where they killed him with their spears.
Demetrius' servant, a believer named Lupus, retrieved the
body of Demetrius and buried it with honor. He kept the
Saint's ring and blood-stained tunic, and through them
worked several miracles and healing. When the Emperor
heard of this, he had Lupus, too, beheaded.! As a sign of
the grace that rested on the holy Demetrius, a fragrant
myrrh flowed copiously from the Martyr's body after his
death, healing many of the sick. For many centuries, St
Demetrius has been a patron Saint of Thessalonica.

Twenty Second Sunday After Pentecost
Save, O Lord, thy people and bless thine inheritance. Unto thee
will I cry, O Lord, my God.
Section from the Epistle of St.Paul to the
Galatians (6:11 to end)
Ye Brethren: See what a letter I have written
unto
you with mine own hand. As many as desire to make
a fair show in the flesh, they constrain you to be
circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution
for the cross of Christ. For neither they themselves
who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have
you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of
our Lrod Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified
unto me, and I unto the world. For in Christ Jesus
neither circumcision, but a new creature. And as many
as walk according to this rule, peace be ont hem, and
mercy, and upon the Israel of God. From heceforth let
no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of
the Lrod Jesus, Brethre, the grace of our Lrod Jesus
Christ be with your spirit. Amen
The Gospel: From St. Luke (8:41-to end)
At That Time:There came a man to Jesus named Jairus,
and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and he fell down at
Jesus’ feet, and besought him that the would come into his
house: For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of
age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people
thronged him.
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which
had spend all her living upon physicians, neither could be
healed of any. Came behind him, and touched the border of
his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter
and they were with him said, Master, the multitude throng
thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? And
Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that
virtue is gone out of me.
And when the woman saw that she was not hit, she came
trembling, and falling down before him , she declared unto
him before all the people for what cause she had touched
him, and how she was healed immediately. And he said unto
her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee
whole: go in peace.
While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the
synagogue’s house, saying to him Thy daughter is dead;
trouble not the Master.
But when Jesus heard it, he
answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall
be made whole. And when he came into the house, he
suffered no man to go on, save Peter, and James, and John,
and the father and the mother of the maiden.
And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she
is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn,
knowing that she was dead. And he put them all out, and
took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and
he commanded to give her meat.
And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that
they should tell no man what was dome
