A thirteenth century Sinai icon of the Nativity of our Lord and God and Saviour Jesus Christ. Σήμερον γὰρ ὁ χρόνιος ἐλύθη δεσμός, ὁ διάβολος ᾐσχύνθη, οἱ δαίμονες ἐδραπέτευσαν, ὁ θάνατος ἐλύθη, παράδεισος ἠνεῴχθη, ἡ κατάρα ἠφανίσθη, ἡ ἁμαρτία ἐκποδὼν γέγονεν, ἡ πλάνη ἀπηλάθη, ἡ ἀλήθεια ἐπανῆλθε, καὶ τῆς εὐσεβείας ὁ λόγος πανταχοῦ […] After the Divine Liturgy on the feast of Saint Catherine, many pilgrims came to the saloni to greet Archbishop Symeon and receive his blessing. He, in turn, was able to express his thanks to the clergy, the chanters, and all who had come to celebrate the feast. […] After the celebration of the Divine Liturgy, the icon and relic of Saint Catherine were carried in procession around the church. Prayers were said for the members of the community, for the pilgrims, and for the monks of Sinai who have gone to their rest. […] On the feast of Saint Catherine at the Sinai dependency in Athens, a relic of Saint Catherine is placed before her icon for the veneration of the faithful. |
