Saint Maximus the Confessor! ☦️
St. Maximus was born in Constantinople around 580 and raised in a pious Christian family. He received an excellent education, was well-read in the authors of antiquity, and he also mastered philosophy and theology. After a fruitful life of defending the Church against heresy, the Lord revealed to St. Maximus the time of his death, and three candles appeared over the grave of Saint Maximus and burned miraculously. This was a sign that Saint Maximus was a beacon of Orthodoxy during his lifetime, and continues to shine forth as an example of virtue for all.
The theology of Saint Maximus the Confessor, based on the spiritual experience of the knowledge of the great Desert Fathers, and utilizing the skilled art of dialectics worked out by pre-Christian philosophy, was continued and developed in the works of Saint Simeon the New Theologian (March 12), and Saint Gregory Palamas (November 14).
"Champion of Orthodoxy, teacher of purity and of true worship, enlightener of the universe and adornment of hierarchs: all-wise father Maximus, your teachings have gleamed with light upon all things. Intercede before Christ God to save our souls!" Troparion — Tone 8
