Happy Names Day!

Today is the names day of one of our young men.

Let us praise with sacred songs the holy Apostle Luke,

the recorder of the joyous Gospel of Christ

and the scribe of the Acts of the Apostles,

for his writings are a testimony of the Church of Christ:

He is the physician of human weaknesses and infirmities.

He heals the wounds of our souls,

and constantly intercedes for our salvation!

– Troparion of the Apostle and Evangelist Luke — Tone 5
