Venerable Timothy of Symbola in Bithynia
Saint Timothy of Symbola, was of Italian descent. He became a monk at a young age and pursued asceticism at a monastery called "Symbola," in Asia Minor near Mount Olympus. At that time Theoctistus was the archimandrite of the monastery. St Timothy was the disciple of Theoctistus and also of St Platon of the Studion Monastery (April 5).

Attaining a high degree of spiritual perfection, he received from God the gift of healing the sick and casting out unclean spirits. He spent many years as a hermit, roaming the wilderness, the mountains and forests, both day and night offering up prayer to the Lord God. He died at a great old age, in the year 795.
KONDAKION. TONO 4. Ti sei manifestato oggi.
COME ASTRO LUCENTISSIMO RIFULSO DALL’ORIENTE, HAI FATTO BRILLARE NEI  CUORI DEI FEDELI LE FORZE DIVINE DEI TUOI PRODIGI, O TIMOTEO DI MENTE DIVINA, PORTATORE DI PRODIGI.

  
APOLYTIKION. TONO4
O DIO DEI PADRI NOSTRI, CHE SEMPRE AGISCI CON NOI SECONDO LA TUA CLEMENZA, NON DISTOGLIERE DA NOI LA TUA MISERICORDIA, MA, PER LE LORO PREGHIERE, DIRIGI LA NOSTRA VITA NELLA PACE.

 


Troparion — Tone 4

O God of our Fathers, / always act with kindness towards us; / take not Your mercy from us, / but guide our lives in peace / through the prayers of Saints Timothy and Eustathius.

Kontakion — Tone 4

Podoben: “Today You have shown forth...” / Blessed wonder-worker, Timothy, / you rose from the east like a brilliant star / causing virtue to spring in the hearts of the faithful / through your miracles.
