Holiday today: Today, August 8, our Church honors the memory of Saint Emiliano the Confessor and Bishop of Kyzikos.

The Apostle Paul, wanting to emphasize the great importance of the confession of our faith in Christ, said: “Having a high priest of great perspicuity in the heavens, Jesus the son of God, let us keep the confession.”
Since, that is, we have a great High Priest, who has now passed through the heavens and entered into eternal rest, where he awaits us who is not a mere man, but is the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession of faith to Him, the Lord and our Savior Jesus Christ.
One such example of confession was Saint Emiliano, who lived between the 8th and 9th centuries AD.
Emilianos was bishop of Kyzikos after Nikolaos, in the years 787 – 815 AD. He fought with all the power granted him by God for the honorable worship of the holy icons, when the iconoclast Leo V was emperor.
An athlete of Orthodoxy, he spoke warmly about it and strengthened the faithful to patiently endure impious persecutions. He suffered many ills and sorrows and finally died in exile, like a genuine Confessor of the right faith.
