Forefeast of the Annunciation of the Theotokos
Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone
Today is the prelude of universal joy; let us keep the forefeast in gladness. For, behold, Gabriel cometh with fear and wonder unto the Virgin, bringing her the good tidings: Rejoice, thou who art full of grace; the Lord is with thee.
Kontakion in the Fourth Tone
At the great Archangel's voice, O Theotokos, the All-holy Spirit came upon thee and thou didst conceive Him that is one in essence and throne with God the Father, O Adam's recovery.

Artemon the Presbyter
Reading from the Synaxarion:
Blessed Artemon came from Seleucia of Pisidia, where he was born and brought up at the time of the holy Apostles. When blessed Apostle Paul was walking and preaching the Gospel around those places, he found St. Artemon and consecrated him Bishop, shepherd and teacher of that city, because the lamp ought not to be hidden under the bushel. St. Artemon ministered his flock well. He became a harbour that saved all those who were in need, he cared for the widows and the orphans, he helped the poor and cured the diseases of both the spirit and the flesh. Having led a life of such God- pleasing works, the thrice-blessed man departed to the Lord full of years.

Epistle Reading
The reading is from St. Paul's Letter to the Hebrews 6:9-12
BRETHREN, we feel sure of better things that belong to salvation. For God is not so unjust as to overlook your work and the love which you showed for his sake in serving the saints, as you still do. And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness in realizing the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Gospel Reading
The reading is from Mark 7:31-37
At that time, Jesus returned from the region of Tyre, and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, through the region of Dekapolis. And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech; and they besought him to lay his hand upon him. And taking him aside from the multitude privately, he put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue; and looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened." And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. And he charged them to tell no one; but the more he charged them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, "He has done all things well: he even makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak."
