September 18, 2013 Post-festive Day of the Exaltation of the Cross. Our Venerable Father Eumenius the Wonder-worker, Bishop of Gortyna. Today is a Postfestive Day for the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. We also remember our venerable father Eumenius the Wonder-worker, bishop of Gortyna in Crete. He gave himself with his whole heart to Christ from his youth. He gave all he owned to the poor, and kept a very ascetic life of fasting and vigils. Seeing his virtue, the people of Gortyna chose him to be their bishop. He was father to the poor, consolation to the sad, healing to the sick, and a shepherd to his flock. He traveled to visit the desert fathers in the Thebaid, where he died. (7th century). Epistle, Eph. 5:25-33 Gospel, Luke 4:23-1:15 According to the Gregorian Calendar for Pascha
