I found this beautiful prophetic quote from the Holy Martyr
“I seek a great Cross, upon which I will try my pleasure, called and I don’t have anything else of my own to give towards salvation of our worshiping homeland, other than to give my blood. Thus I perceive my life and the archpriesthood...and the miter, which your holy hands placed upon my head, said, if it is called for, may the radiance of its stones never be destroyed, it will be converted to the crown of thorns of martyrdom of a hierarch.”-Bishop Chrysostom of Smyrna
Bishop Chrysostom of Smyrna-Pray for us!
Apolytikion in the Third Tone:
A great martyr of the Church, a great hero to the whole nation, let us hymn Chrysostom of Smyrna. And bravely struggling patiently for homeland and faith until death, he showed himself a model hierarch, receiving the unfading crown.
Amen!
