ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN MARCH
Saints celebrated on the 13th of March
SAINT NICEPHORUS, PATRIARCH OF CONSTANTINOPLE, CONFESSOR
Today, we also commemorate Saint Nicephorus. The Roman Martyrology states:
"At Constantinople, the translation of Saint Nicephorus, bishop of that city and confessor. His body was brought to Constantinople from the island of Prokenesis, in the sea of Marmara, where he had died on June 5 in exile because of his reverence for holy images, and it was buried with honour by St Methodius, bishop of Constantinople, in the Church of the Holy Apostles in this the very day on which Nicephorus had been driven into exile."
PRAYER:
Grant, we beseech you, almighty God, that the venerable feast of Saint Nicephorus may increase our devotion and promote our salvation. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
