Orthros Gospel Reading
The reading is from Mark 16:1-8
When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of
James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might go and anoint
Jesus. And very early on the first day of the week they went to the
tomb when the sun had risen. And they were saying to one another,
"Who will roll away the stone for us from the door of the tomb?" And
looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back, for it was very
large. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right
side, dressed in a white robe; and they were amazed. And he said to
them, "Do not be amazed; you seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified.
He has risen, he is not here; see the place where they laid him.
But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going before you to
Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you." And they went out and
fled from the tomb; for trembling and astonishment had come upon them;
and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid.

Epistle Reading
The reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Romans 2:10-16
Brethren, glory and honor and peace for every one who does good, the Jew
first and also the Greek. For God shows no partiality. All who have
sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who
have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. For it is not
the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of
the law who will be justified. When Gentiles who have not the law do
by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even
though they do not have the law. They show that what the law requires is
written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and
their conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps excuse them on that day
when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ
Jesus.

Gospel Reading
The reading is from Matthew 4:18-23
At that time, as Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two
brothers, Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net
into the sea; for they were fishermen. And he said to them, "Follow
me, and I will make you fishers of men." Immediately they left their
nets and followed him. And going on from there he saw two other
brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with
Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately
they left their boat and their father, and followed him. And he went
about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the
gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every infirmity
among the people.

David the Righteous of Thessalonika
Reading from the Synaxarion:
Saint David, who was from Thessalonica, lived a most holy and ascetical
life. For some years, he took up his dwelling in the branches of an
almond tree, exposed to all the elements and extremes of the weather. He
reposed in peace during the reign of Saint Justinian the Great, in the
sixth century.
Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone
In thee the image was preserved with exactness, O Father; for
taking
up thy cross, thou didst follow Christ, and by thy deeds thou
didst
teach us to overlook the flesh, for it passeth away, but to attend
to
the soul since it is immortal. Wherefore, O righteous David,
thy
spirit rejoiceth with the Angels.
Kontakion in the Second Tone
An Angel on earth, and stranger to all earthly things, thou madest
a
tree thy dwelling like an eagle's nest, whence, O David, thou
didst
soar up to Heaven, where thou didst find that Tree which in Eden
we
lost of old. Remember us all, who keep thy memory.

Appearance of the Icon of Our Most Holy Lady the Theotokos of Tikhvin
Reading from the Synaxarion:
According to one tradition, this icon was painted by Saint Luke the
Evangelist. It was formerly situated in the famous Church of Blachernae in
Constantinople. In 1383, it appeared upon the waters of Lake Ladoga, whence it
travelled miraculously through the air to the city of Tikhvin; there, it
remained by the River Tikhvinka, and a monastery was built to shelter the
icon. In 1613-14 this monastery miraculously withstood the many attacks
of the Swedish invaders. In the early twentieth century it was
brought to America and was returned to Russia in 2004. The holy icon is
renowned for a great many miracles wrought through it by the all-holy
Mother of God, especially for the healing of children.
Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone
Today thy most venerable icon, O Lady, hath shone in Heaven upon
us
like a most brilliant sun, enlightening the world with rays of
mercy,
which great Russia and America received from on high most reverently
as
a divine gift, and they glorify thee, O Mother of God, as the
Queen
of all, and joyfully magnify Christ our God Who was born of
thee.
Pray to Christ, O our Lady and Queen, O Theotokos, that He keep
all
Christians unharmed by all assaults of the enemy, and that He save them
that
venerate His divine image and thy pure icon with faith, O Virgin
who
knewest not wedlock.
Kontakion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone
Let us run, O ye peoples, to the Virgin Queen, the
Theotokos,
thanking Christ our God; and gazing tenderly at her miraculous icon,
let
us fall down and cry to her: O Lady Mary, having visited this
land
by the wonderous appearance of thy venerable icon, keep
all
Christians in peace and prosperity, and make them heirs of the
heavenly
life; for to thee we cry with faith: Rejoice, O Virgin, salvation
of
the world.
