Orthodox Church religious commemorations

Overview

In late September, the Orthodox Church observes several religious commemorations. On September 21, the Church commemorates Prophet Jonah.

On September 22, observances include Saint Phocas the Hieromartyr and Wonderworker, the Bishop of Sinope, and Saint Cosmas of Zografou, an ascetic associated with the Zografou Monastery. Saint Phocas, who served as Bishop of Sinope during the reign of Emperor Trajan, is traditionally venerated as a protector of sailors. He is noted for his missionary work and was martyred by being cast into a hot bath. Saint Cosmas of Zografou, a Bulgarian ascetic and hermit from the Zografou monastery on Mount Athos, is also honored for his spiritual gifts, including visions and prophecy. He is noted as having come from a Bulgarian aristocratic family and passed away in 1323.

On September 28, the Church honors Saint Chariton the Confessor and Saint Alcison, Bishop of Nicopolis. Saint Chariton, a 3rd-century figure from Iconium who lived under Emperor Aurelian, is recognized for his steadfast faith during persecution and his establishment of monastic lauras in Palestine, such as the Lavra of Phara.

On September 29, the Church commemorates Saint Kyriakos the Anchorite. A 5th-century native of Corinth, he is remembered for his ascetic life in the Holy Land, where he was influenced by figures such as Saint Euthymius the Great and Saint Gerasimus of the Jordan. He is noted for his character of patience and gentleness while living in the deserts of Judea. Other observances during this period include the Prophet Baruch, Saint Wenceslas, and Saint Faustus of Riez. Additional commemorations on September 29 include Saint Theophan the Merciful, known for his extreme charity in Gaza, and Saint Petronia.
