SUMMARY:The Holy Apostle Thaddaeus
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/21/2026\nSaints and Feasts: The Holy Apostle Thaddaeus; The Holy Martyr Bassa and Her Sons: Theognis\, Agapius\, and Pistus; Athanasios Patelaros\, Patriarch of Constantinople; Afterfeast of the Dormition of our Most Holy Lady the Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary\nStrict Fast\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians 7:10-16\nBrethren\, godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation and brings no regret\, but worldly grief produces death. For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you\, what eagerness to clear yourselves\, what indignation\, what alarm\, what longing\, what zeal\, what punishment! At every point you have proved yourselves guiltless in the matter. So although I wrote to you\, it was not on account of the one who did the wrong\, nor on account of the one who suffered the wrong\, but in order that your zeal for us might be revealed to you in the sight of God.\nTherefore we are comforted.\nAnd besides our own comfort we rejoiced still more at the joy of Titus\, because his mind has been set at rest by you all. For if I have expressed to him some pride in you\, I was not put to shame; but just as everything we said to you was true\, so our boasting before Titus has proved true. And his heart goes out all the more to you\, as he remembers the obedience of you all\, and the fear and trembling with which you received him. I rejoice\, because I have perfect confidence in you.\nGospel Reading: Mark 3:13-21\nAt that time\, Jesus went up on the mountain\, and called to him those whom he desired; and they came to him. And he appointed twelve\, to be with him\, and to be sent out to preach and have authority to cast out demons: Simon whom he surnamed Peter; James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James\, whom he surnamed Boanerges\, that is\, sons of thunder; Andrew and Philip and Bartholomew\, and Matthew\, and Thomas\, and James the son of Alphaios\, and Thaddaios\, and Simon the Cananaean\, and Judas Iscariot\, who betrayed him. Then he went home; and the crowd came together again\, so that they could not even eat. And when his family heard it\, they went out to seize him\, for people were saying\, “He is beside himself.”

SUMMARY:The Holy Martyr Agathonicus
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/22/2026\nSaints and Feasts: The Holy Martyr Agathonicus; Holy Martyr Anthuse; Athanasios the Hieromartyr & Bishop of Tarsus; New Martyrs Manuel and John; The Synaxis of the Icon of the Mother of God of Prusa; Afterfeast of the Dormition of our Most Holy Lady the Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians 1:26-31; 2:1-5\nBrethren\, consider your call\, not many of you were wise according to worldly standards\, not many were powerful\, not many were of noble birth; but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise\, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong\, God chose what is low and despised in the world\, even things that are not\, to bring to nothing things that are\, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus\, whom God made our wisdom\, our righteousness and sanctification and redemption; therefore\, as it is written\, “Let him who boasts\, boast of the Lord.” When I came to you\, brethren\, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God in lofty words or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in much fear and trembling; and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom\, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power\, that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 20:29-34\nAt that time\, as Jesus went out of Jericho\, a great crowd followed him. And behold\, two blind men sitting by the roadside\, when they heard that Jesus was passing by\, cried out\, “Have mercy on us\, Son of David!” The crowd rebuked them\, telling them to be silent; but they cried out the more\, “Lord\, have mercy on us\, Son of David!” And Jesus stopped and called them\, saying\, “What do you want me to do for you?” They said to him\, “Lord\, let our eyes be opened.” And Jesus in pity touched their eyes\, and immediately they received their sight and followed him.

SUMMARY:12th Sunday of Matthew
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/23/2026\nSaints and Feasts: 12th Sunday of Matthew; Apodosis of the Dormition of our Most Holy Lady the Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary; Our Holy Father Irenaeus\, Bishop of Lyons; Lupus the Martyr; Our Righteous Father Nicholas of Sikelion; Our Holy Father Kallinikos\, Patriarch of Constantinople; Haralambos of Kalyviani; 38 Martyrs of Thrace; Our Holy Father Irenaeus\, Bishop of Sirmium\nMatins Gospel Reading: Matthew 28:16-20\nAt that time\, the eleven disciples went to Galilee\, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw Him they worshiped Him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them\, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations\, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit\, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo\, I am with you always\, to the close of the age. Amen.”\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians 15:1-11\nBrethren\, I would remind you in what terms I preached to you the gospel\, which you received\, in which you stand\, by which you are saved\, if you hold it fast — unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received\, that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the scriptures\, that he was buried\, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the scriptures\, and that he appeared to Cephas\, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time\, most of whom are still alive\, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James\, then to all the apostles. Last of all\, as to one untimely born\, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles\, unfit to be called an apostle\, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am\, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary\, I worked harder than any of them\, though it was not I\, but the grace of God which is with me. Whether then it was I or they\, so we preach and so you believed.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 19:16-26\nAt that time\, a young man came up to Jesus\, kneeling and saying\, “Good Teacher\, what good deed must I do\, to have eternal life?” And he said to him\, “Why do you call me good?  One there is who is good.  If you would enter life\, keep the commandments.”  He said to him\, “Which?”  And Jesus said\, “You shall not kill\, You shall not commit adultery\, You shall not steal\, You shall not bear false witness\, Honor your father and mother\, and You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”  The young man said to him\, “All these I have observed; what do I still lack?”  Jesus said to him\, “If you would be perfect\, go\, sell what you possess and give to the poor\, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come\, follow me.”  When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.\nAnd Jesus said to his disciples\, “Truly\, I say to you\, it will be hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.  Again I tell you\, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”  When the disciples heard this they were greatly astonished\, saying\, “Who then can be saved?”  But Jesus looked at them and said to them\, “With men this is impossible\, but with God all things are possible.”

SUMMARY:Eutyches the Hieromartyr & Disciple of St. John the Theologian
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/24/2026\nSaints and Feasts: Eutyches the Hieromartyr & Disciple of St. John the Theologian; Cosmas of Aetolia\, Equal to the Apostles; The Translation of the Relics of Dionysios of Zakynthos\, Bishop of Aegina; The Translation of the Holy Relics of Saint Peter\, Metropolitan of Moscow\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians 8:7-15\nBrethren\, as you excel in everything in faith\, in utterance\, in knowledge\, in all earnestness\, and in your love for us see that you excel in this gracious work also.\nI say this not as a command\, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine. For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ\, that though he was rich\, yet for your sake he became poor\, so that by his poverty you might become rich. And in this matter I give my advice: it is best for you now to complete what a year ago you began not only to do but to desire\, so that your readiness in desiring it may be matched by your completing it out of what you have. For if the readiness is there\, it is acceptable according to what a man has\, not according to what he has not. I do not mean that others should be eased and you burdened\, but that as a matter of equality your abundance at the present time should supply their want\, so that their abundance may supply your want\, that there may be equality. As it is written\, “He who gathered much has nothing over\, and he who gathered little had no lack.”\nGospel Reading: Mark 3:6-12\nAt that time\, the Pharisees held counsel with the Herodians against Jesus\, how to destroy him. Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea\, and a great multitude from Galilee followed; also from Judea and Jerusalem and Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from about Tyre and Sidon a great multitude\, hearing all that he did\, came to him. And he told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd\, lest they should crush him; for he had healed many\, so that all who had diseases pressed upon him to touch him. And whenever the unclean spirits beheld him\, they fell down before him and cried out\, “You are the Son of God.” And he strictly ordered them not to make him known.

SUMMARY:Return of the Body of Bartholomew the Glorious Apostle
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/25/2026\nSaints and Feasts: Return of the Body of Bartholomew the Glorious Apostle; Titus the Apostle of the 70; John the Cappadocian\, Epiphanius and Menas\, Patriarchs of Constantinople; Holy Father John of Karpathos; Ebba\, First Abbess of Coldingham\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s Letter to Titus 1:1-5; 2:15; 3:1-2\, 12-15\nPAUL\, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ\, to further the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth which accords with godliness\, in hope of eternal life which God\, who never lies\, promised ages ago and at the proper time manifested in his word through the preaching with which I have been entrusted by command of God our Savior;\nTo Titus\, my true child in a common faith:\nGrace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior.\nDeclare these things; exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you.\nRemind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities\, to be obedient\, to be ready for any honest work\, to speak evil of no one\, to avoid quarreling\, to be gentle\, and to show perfect courtesy toward all men.\nWhen I send Artemas or Tychicos to you\, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis\, for I have decided to spend the winter there. Do your best to speed Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way; see that they lack nothing. And let our people learn to apply themselves to good deeds\, so as to help cases of urgent need\, and not to be unfruitful.\nAll who are with me send greetings to you. Greet those who love us in the faith.\nGrace be with you all. Amen.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 5:14-19\nThe Lord said to his disciples\, “You are the light of the world.  A city set on a hill cannot be hid.  Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a bushel\, but on a stand\, and it gives light to all in the house.  Let your light so shine before men\, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.  Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfill them.  For truly\, I say to you\, till heaven and earth pass away\, not an iota\, not a dot\, will pass from the law until all is accomplished.  Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so\, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”

SUMMARY:The Holy Martyrs Adrian and Natalie
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/26/2026\nSaints and Feasts: The Holy Martyrs Adrian and Natalie; Our Righteous Father Joseph; Icon of the Mother of God of Vladimir\nStrict Fast\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s Letter to the Hebrews 10:32-38\nBrethren\, recall the former days when\, after you were enlightened\, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings\, sometimes being publicly exposed to abuse and affliction\, and sometimes being partners with those so treated.  For you had compassion on the prisoners\, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property\, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one.  Therefore do not throw away your confidence\, which has a great reward.  For you have need of endurance\, so that you may do the will of God and receive what is promised.  “For yet a little while\, and the coming one shall come and shall not tarry; but my righteous one shall live by faith.”\nGospel Reading: Mark 3:20-27\nAt that time\, Jesus came to a home\, and the crowd came together again\, so that they could not even eat. And when his family heard it\, they went out to seize him\, for people were saying\, “He is beside himself.” And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said\, “He is possessed by Beelzebul\, and by the prince of demons he casts out the demons.” And he called them to him\, and said to them in parables\, “How can Satan cast out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself\, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself\, that house will not be able to stand. And if Satan has risen up against himself and is divided\, he cannot stand\, but is coming to an end. But no one can enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods\, unless he first binds the strong man; then indeed he may plunder his house.”

SUMMARY:Pimen the Great
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/27/2026\nSaints and Feasts: Pimen the Great; Holy Martyr Phanurius; Anthousa the Martyr; Poimen of Palestine; Hosisos the Confessor; Liverios\, Pope of Rome; Monica\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians 10:7-18\nBrethren\, if any one is confident that he is Christ’s\, let him remind himself that as he is Christ’s\, so are we. For even if I boast a little too much of our authority\, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you\, I shall not be put to shame. I would not seem to be frightening you with letters. For they say\,”His letters are weighty and strong\, but his bodily presence is weak\, and his speech of no account.” Let such people understand that what we say by letter when absent\, we do when present. Not that we venture to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another\, and compare themselves with one another\, they are without understanding. But we will not boast beyond limit\, but will keep to the limits God has apportioned us\, to reach even to you. For we are not overextending ourselves\, as though we did not reach you; we were the first to come all the way to you with the gospel of Christ. We do not boast beyond limit\, in other men’s labors; but our hope is that you may be greatly enlarged\, so that we may preach the gospel in lands beyond you\, without boasting of work already done in another’s field. “Let him who boasts\, boast of the Lord.” For it is not the man who commends himself that is accepted\, but the man whom the Lord commends.\nGospel Reading: Mark 3:28-35\nThe Lord said\, “Truly\, I say to you\, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men\, and whatever blasphemies they utter; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness\, but is guilty of an eternal sin” for they had said\, “He has an unclean spirit.” And his mother and his brothers came; and standing outside they sent to him and called him. And a crowd was sitting about him; and they said to him\, “Your mother and your brothers are outside\, asking for you.” And he replied\, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” And looking around on those who sat about him\, he said\, “Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does the will of God is my brother\, and sister\, and mother.”

SUMMARY:Moses the Black of Scete
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/28/2026\nSaints and Feasts: Moses the Black of Scete; Diomedes & Laurence the Martyrs; 33 Martyrs of Nicomedea; Job of Pochaev ; Synaxis of the Kiev Cave Fathers\nStrict Fast\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s Second Letter to the Corinthians 11:5-21\nBrethren\, I think that I am not in the least inferior to these superlative apostles. Even if I am unskilled in speaking\, I am not in knowledge; in every way we have made this plain to you in all things.\nDid I commit a sin in abasing myself so that you might be exalted\, because I preached God’s gospel without cost to you? I robbed other churches by accepting support from them in order to serve you. And when I was with you and was in want\, I did not burden any one\, for my needs were supplied by the brethren who came from Macedonia. So I refrained and will refrain from burdening you in any way. As the truth of Christ is in me\, this boast of mine shall not be silenced in the regions of Achaia. And why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!\nAnd what I do I will continue to do\, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do. For such men are false apostles\, deceitful workmen\, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder\, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is not strange if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.\nI repeat\, let no one think me foolish; but even if you do\, accept me as a fool\, so that I too may boast a little. (What I am saying I say not with the Lord’s authority but as a fool\, in this boastful confidence; since many boast of worldly things\, I too will boast.) For you gladly bear with fools\, being wise yourselves! For you bear it if a man makes slaves of you\, or preys upon you\, or takes advantage of you\, or puts on airs\, or strikes you in the face. To my shame\, I must say\, we were too weak for that!\nGospel Reading: Mark 4:1-9\nAt that time\, Jesus began to teach beside the sea. And a very large crowd gathered about him\, so that he got into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole crowd was beside the sea on the land. And he taught them many things in parables\, and in his teaching he said to them: “Listen! A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed\, some seed fell along the path\, and the birds came and devoured it. Other seed fell on rocky ground\, where it had not much soil\, and immediately it sprang up\, since it had no depth of soil; and when the sun rose it was scorched\, and since it had no root it withered away. Other seed fell among thorns and the thorns grew up and choked it\, and it yielded no grain. And other seeds fell into good soil and brought forth grain\, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.” And he said\, “He who has ears to hear\, let him hear.”

SUMMARY:Beheading of the Holy and Glorious Prophet\, Forerunner and Baptist John
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/29/2026\nSaints and Feasts: Beheading of the Holy and Glorious Prophet\, Forerunner and Baptist John; Theodora of Thessaloniki; Anastasios the New Martyr of Bulgaria\nFast Day (Wine and Oil Allowed)\nMatins Gospel Reading: Matthew 14:1-13\nAt that time\, Herod the tetrarch heard about the fame of Jesus; and he said to his servants\, “This is John the Baptist; he has been raised from the dead; that is why these powers are at work in him.” For Herod had seized John and bound him and put him in prison\, for the sake of Herodias\, his brother Philip’s wife; because John said to him\, “It is not lawful for you to have her.” And though he wanted to put him to death\, he feared the people\, because they held him to be a prophet. But when Herod’s birthday came\, the daughter of Herodias danced before the company and pleased Herod\, so that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she might ask. Prompted by her mother\, she said\, “Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter.” And the king was sorry; but because of his oaths and his guests he commanded it to be given; he sent and had John beheaded in the prison\, and his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl\, and she brought it to her mother. And his disciples came and took the body and buried it; and they went and told Jesus. Now when Jesus heard this\, he withdrew from there in a boat to a lonely place apart. But when the crowds heard it\, they followed him on foot from the towns.\nEpistle Reading: Acts of the Apostles 13:25-33\nIN THOSE DAYS\, as John was finishing his course\, he said\, “What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. No\, but after me one is coming\, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.” Brethren\, sons of the family of Abraham\, and those among you that fear God\, to us has been sent the message of this salvation. For those who live in Jerusalem and their rulers\, because they did not recognize him nor understand the utterances of the prophets which are read every sabbath\, fulfilled these by condemning him. Though they could charge him with nothing deserving death\, yet they asked Pilate to have him killed. And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him\, they took him down from the tree\, and laid him in a tomb. But God raised him from the dead; and for many days he appeared to those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem\, who are now his witnesses to the people. And we bring you the good news that what God promised to the fathers\, this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus.\nGospel Reading: Mark 6:14-30\nAt that time\, Herod the King heard about the fame of Jesus\, for his name had become known. He said\, “John the baptizer has been raised from the dead; that is why these powers are at work in him.” But others said\, “It is Elijah.” And others said\, “It is a prophet\, like one of the prophets of old.” But when Herod heard of it he said\, “John\, whom I beheaded\, has been raised.” For Herod had sent and seized John\, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias\, his brother Philip’s wife; because he had married her. For John said to Herod\, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.” And Herodias had a grudge against him\, and wanted to kill him. But she could not\, for Herod feared John\, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man\, and kept him safe. When he heard him\, he was much perplexed; and yet he heard him gladly. But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his courtiers and officers and the leading men of Galilee. For when Herodias’ daughter came in and danced\, she pleased Herod and his guests; and the king said to the girl\, “Ask me for whatever you wish\, and I will grant it.” And he vowed to her\, “Whatever you ask me\, I will give you\, even half of my kingdom.” And she went out\, and said to her mother\, “What shall I ask?” And she said\, “The head of John the baptizer.” And she came in immediately with haste to the king\, and asked\, saying\, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.” And the king was exceedingly sorry; but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her. And immediately the king sent a soldier of the guard and gave orders to bring his head. He went and beheaded him in the prison\, and brought his head on a platter\, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother. When his disciples heard of it\, they came and took his body\, and laid it in a tomb. The apostles returned to Jesus\, and told him all that they had done and taught.

DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/30/2026\nSaints and Feasts: 13th Sunday of Matthew; Apodosis of the Feast of the Forerunner; Alexander\, John\, and Paul the New\, Patriarchs of Constantinople; Phantinos the Righteous of Calabria; 16 Monk-martyrs of Thebes; 6 Martyrs of Melitene; The Synaxis of the Holy Hierarchs of Serbia; The Holy New Martyrs of Serbia; Fiacre the Hermit of Meaux\nMatins Gospel Reading: Mark 16:1-8\nWhen the Sabbath was past\, Mary Magdalene\, and Mary the mother of James and Salome\, bought spices\, so that they might go and anoint Jesus. And very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb when the sun had risen. And they were saying to one another\, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb?” And looking up\, they saw that the stone was rolled back – it was very large. And entering the tomb\, they saw a young man sitting on the right side\, dressed in a white robe; and they were amazed. And he said to them\, “Do not be amazed; you seek Jesus of Nazareth\, who was crucified. He has risen\, He is not here; see the place where they laid Him. But go\, tell His disciples and Peter that He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see Him\, as He told you.” And they went out and fled from the tomb\, for trembling and astonishment had come upon them; and they said nothing to anyone\, for they were afraid.\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians 16:13-24\nBrethren\, be watchful\, stand firm in your faith\, be courageous\, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love. Now\, brethren\, you know that the household of Stephanas were the first converts in Achaia\, and they have devoted themselves to the service of the saints; I urge you to be subject to such men and to every fellow worker and laborer. I rejoice at the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicos\, because they have made up for your absence; for they refreshed my spirit as well as yours. Give recognition to such men. The churches of Asia send greetings. Aquila and Prisca\, together with the church in their house\, send you hearty greetings in the Lord. All the brethren send greetings. Greet one another with a holy kiss. I\, Paul\, write this greeting with my own hand. If any one has no love for the Lord\, let him be accursed. Our Lord\, come! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.\nGospel Reading: Matthew 21:33-42\nThe Lord said this parable\, “There was a householder who planted a vineyard\, and set a hedge around it\, and dug a wine press in it\, and built a tower\, and let it out to tenants\, and went into another country. When the season of fruit drew near\, he sent his servants to the tenants\, to get his fruit; and the tenants took his servants and beat one\, killed another\, and stoned another. Again he sent other servants\, more than the first; and they did the same to them. Afterward he sent his son to them\, saying ‘They will respect my son.’ But when the tenants saw the son\, they said to themselves\, ‘This is the heir; come\, let us kill him and have his inheritance.’ And they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and killed him. When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes\, what will he do to those tenants?” They said to him\, “He will put those wretches to a miserable death\, and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.” Jesus said to them\, “Have you never read in the scriptures: ‘The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner; this was the Lord’s doing\, and it is marvelous in our eyes?'”

SUMMARY:The Placing of the Honorable Sash of the Most Holy Theotokos
DESCRIPTION:Saints\, Feasts\, and Readings for 08/31/2026\nSaints and Feasts: The Placing of the Honorable Sash of the Most Holy Theotokos; Cyprian the Hieromartyr & Bishop of Carthage; Gennadius Scholarus\, Patriarch of Constantinople; Aidan\, Bishop of Lindisfarne; Eanswythe\, Abbess of Folkestone; Cuthburga the Queen\, Abbess of Wimborne\nEpistle Reading: St. Paul’s Letter to the Hebrews 9:1-7\nBRETHREN\, the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly sanctuary. For a tent was prepared\, the outer one\, in which were the lampstand and the table and the bread of the Presence; it is called the Holy Place. Behind the second curtain stood a tent called the Holy of Holies\, having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold\, which contained a golden urn holding the manna\, and Aaron’s rod that budded\, and the tables of the covenant; above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Of these things we cannot now speak in detail. These preparations having thus been made\, the priests go continually into the outer tent\, performing their ritual duties; but into the second only the high priest goes\, and he but once a year\, and not without taking blood which he offers for himself and for the errors of the people.\nGospel Reading: Luke 10:38-42\, 11:27-28\nAt that time\, Jesus entered a village; and a woman called Martha received him into her house. And she had a sister called Mary\, who sat at the Lord’s feet and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving; and she went to him and said\, “Lord\, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve you alone? Tell her then to help me.” But the Lord answered her\, “Martha\, Martha\, you are anxious and troubled about many things; one thing is needful. Mary has chosen the good portion\, which shall not be taken away from her.” As he said this\, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him\, “Blessed is the womb that bore you\, and the breasts that you sucked!” But he said\, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”
