Today, July 25, we celebrate the feast days of:
St. Eupraxia, the Virgin of Tabenna
The Dormition of Anne, the Mother of the Most Holy Theotokos
The Righteous Women Olympias and Eupraxia
Through the intercessions of the Holy St. Anne, O Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us. Amen.
The Dormition of Anne, the Mother of the Most Holy Theotokos
Kontakion: Second Tone
We celebrate now the mem'ry of Christ's ancestors, while asking their help with faith, that we may all be saved from all manner of tribulation as we fervently cry aloud: Be thou with us, O Lord our God, Whose pleasure it was to glorify them both.
Reading:
According to tradition, Anna, the ancestor of God, lived for sixty-nine years, and her spouse Joachim, for eighty; according to one account, Saint Joachim died two years before Saint Anna. The Theotokos had been orphaned of both her parents already when she was eleven years of age, when she was living in the Temple (see Sept. 8 and Nov. 21). Saint Anna is invoked for conceiving children, and for help in difficult childbirth.
