THE MIRACLE OF THE MOTHER OF GOD OF CASSIOPITRA
SYNAXIS OF THE HOLY GLORIOUS AND ALL-FAMED APOSTLE AND EVANGELIST JOHN THE THEOLOGIAN
OUR HOLY FATHER ARSENIOS THE GREAT
ST ARSENIUS Varnakovites
Apolytikion of the Mother of God of Cassiopitra Tone 1
Let us flee to the Monastery of Kassopitra in Kerkyra, and embrace your revered icon O Theotokos. Stephen was blinded along the way, and you granted him new eyes, now by his eyes you illuminate the hearts of those who sing: Rejoice the divine entryway of light, rejoice table of life, rejoice the harbor of Kanoni, the peace of the sea-port.
Troparion of the Mother of God of Cassiopitra Tone 2
All thy deeds are most wondrous and worthy of praise,/ most holy Mother of God;/ for to Stephen, unjustly deprived of his eyes and blinded,/ thou didst grant eyes again and restore to him sight./ Pray to Christ our God to enlighten our souls.

Troparion of St John the Evangelist Tone 2
Apostle beloved of Christ our God,/ hasten to deliver a defenseless people./ He Who allowed thee to recline on His breast/ receives thee bowing in prayer, O John the Theologian./ Implore Him to dispel heathen persistence/ and to grant us peace and mercy.
Troparion of St John the Evangelist Tone 2
O beloved apostle of Christ God,/ haste thou to deliver a defenseless people./ He Who permitted thee to recline against His breast/ receiveth thee, prostrate in supplication./ Him do thou beseech, O theologian,/ that He dispel the gloom of the nations which doth beset us,// asking for us peace and great mercy.
Apolytikion of St John the Evangelist Tone 2
Beloved Apostle of Christ our God, hasten to deliver a people without defense. He who permitted you to recline upon His bosom, accepts you on bended knee before Him. Beseech Him, O Theologian, to dispel the persistent cloud of nations, asking for us peace and great mercy.
Ἀπολυτίκιον. Ἅγιος Ἰωάννης ὁ Θεολόγος Ἦχος β’
Ἀπόστολε Χριστῷ τῷ Θεῷ ἠγαπημένε, ἐπιτάχυνον ῥῦσαι λαὸν ἀναπολόγητον· δέχεταί σε προσπίπτοντα, ὁ ἐπιπεσόντα τῷ στήθει καταδεξάμενος. Ὃν ἰκέτευε Θεολόγε, καὶ ἐπίμονον νέφος ἐθνῶν διασκεδάσαι, αἰτούμενος ἡμῖν εἰρήνην, καὶ τὸ μέγα ἔλεος.
Troparion of St Arsenios The Great Tone 5
Thou didst spurn fleeting delights,/ when commanded from heaven like Abraham/ and in thy life thou didst emulate the Angels;/ thou wast famous in wisdom, word and deed./ O Godbearing Arsenios,/ entreat Christ our God unceasingly that He will have mercy on our souls.
Troparion of St Arsenios The Great Tone 8
By a flood of tears you made the desert fertile, / And your longing for God brought forth fruits in abundance. / By the radiance of miracles you illumined the whole universe. / O our holy Father Arsenius, pray to Christ our God to save our souls!
Ἀπολυτίκιον. Ὅσιος Ἀρσένιος ὁ Μέγας Ἦχος πλ. α’. Τὸν συνάναρχον λόγον
Τῶν τερπνῶν ἀπανέστης ἐμφρόνως Ὅσιε, χρηματισθεὶς οὐρανόθεν ὡς Ἀβραὰμ ὁ κλεινός, καὶ Ἀγγέλλων μιμητὴς ὤφθης τῷ βίῳ σου, λόγῳ ἐμπρέπων πρακτικῷ, καὶ σοφίᾳ ἀληθεῖ, Ἀρσένιε θεοφόρε. Καὶ νῦν ἀπαύστως δυσώπει, ἐλεηθῆναι τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν.
Apolytikion of St Arsenius Varnakovites Tone 1
Lover of quitude and builder of Varnakova, the bright torch of piety, and unyoked leader, let us the faithful honor Arsenios, imitating his pure love for the Lord, and with honey-sweet hymns let us cry out: Glory to Christ Who glorified you, glory to Him Who crowned you, glory to Him Who grants the faithful through you fervent healing.

Kontakion of the Mother of God of Cassiopia Tone 8
O Mother who knew not wedlock,/ blind Stephen came with his mother to thy church in Cassiopia, lamenting and bewailing his misfortune./ By thine intercessions with the Lord thou didst grant him eyes, O Birthgiver of the Light of the world./ When he was healed he cried out to thee: Rejoice, O Maiden of exceeding radiance.
Kontakion of St John the Evangelist Tone 2
Who can tell of thy mighty works, O beloved Saint?/ Thou didst pour forth miracles./ Thou art a source of healing and dost intercede for our souls/ as Theologian and friend of Christ.
Kontakion of St John the Evangelist Tone 2
Who can recount thy mighty works, O virgin apostle?/ For thou pourest out miracles/ and dost cause healings to flow forth;/ and thou prayest for our souls,// in that thou art a theologian and the friend of Christ.
Kontakion of St John the Evangelist Tone 2
Who shall declare your greatness, O Virgin disciple? / For as a fountain of healing you flow with miracles, / Interceding for our souls as Theologian and friend of Christ!
Kontakion of St John the Evangelist Tone 2
Who can recount your greatness, O virgin, for miracles flow and healing springs forth from you. You intercede for our souls, as the Theologian and friend of Christ.
Κοντάκιον αὐτόμελον. Ἅγιος Ἰωάννης ὁ Θεολόγος Ἦχος β’
Τὰ μεγαλεῖα σου Παρθένε τίς διηγήσεται; βρύεις γὰρ θαύματα, καὶ πηγάζεις ἰάματα, καὶ πρεσβεύεις ὑπὲρ τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν, ὡς θεολόγος καὶ φίλος Χριστοῦ.
Kontakion of St Arsenios the Great Tone 2
While living on earth thou didst show forth the life of the Angels, O Godbearing Arsenios,/ and thou wast granted their honour./ Now as thou art standing with them before the throne of God,/ thou dost pray for forgiveness for all.
Kontakion of St Arsenios the Great Tone 2
Arising from Rome, as a sun, you reached the royal city, / Enlightening it, O most blessed one, by your words and deeds. / You drove out the darkness of unreasoning. / Therefore we honor you, Arsenius, the glory of the Fathers!
Kontakion of St Arsenius Varnakovites Plagal Tone 4
Beautified by the beauty of your asceticism, and purified by the streams of your tears, you were seen to be a solitary and decorous lamp, shining with the fire of your virtues, most-sacred ascetic of Varnakova, to those who cry: Rejoice blessed Arsenios.
Κοντάκιον. Ὅσιος Ἀρσένιος ὁ Μέγας Ἦχος πλ. δ’. Τῇ ὑπερμάχῳ
Ὡς τῆς σοφίας ἐνθεώτατον θεράποντα
Καὶ ἡσυχίας ὁδηγὸν καὶ θεῖον γνώμονα
Εὐφημοῦμέν σε οἱ δοῦλοί σου θεοφόρε·
Ἀλλ’ ὡς θείας κοινωνὸς μακαριότητος
Ἐκ παντοίων ἡμᾶς λύτρωσαι κακώσεων,
Ἵνα κράζωμεν, χαίροις Πάτερ Ἀρσένιε.

Megalynarion of the Mother of God of Cassiopitra
Most-wondrous and awesome miracle, strangely monumental, that the blind Stephen, received another pair of eyes for vision, by the Theotokos, whom we magnify.
Μεγαλυνάριον. Ἅγιος Ἰωάννης ὁ Θεολόγος
Πέτρα ὡς ἡ πάλαι τῷ Ἰσραήλ, ὤφθη Θεολόγε, ὁ σὸς τάφος ὁ εὐαγής· βρύει γὰρ τῷ κόσμῳ, ὡς μάννα ψθχοτρόφον, τρυφῆς ἐπουρανίου, κόνιν θεόσδοτον.
Μεγαλυνάριον. Ὅσιος Ἀρσένιος ὁ Μέγας
Χαίροις τῆς σοφίας λύχνος λαμπρός, καὶ τῆς ἡσυχίας, φοῖνιξ ὄντως ὁ εὐθαλής, ὁ πράξεσι θείαις, κομῶν καὶ θεωρίαις, Ἀρσένιε παμμάκαρ, Ὁσίων καύχημα.
Megalynarion of St Arsenius Varnakovites
Rejoice, you who by prayer and fasting, approached the heights, and made it difficult to look at your face by your virtues, rejoice most-divine builder of Varnakova, the glorious fold, O blessed Arsenios.
