Synaxarion of Saint Ananias the Persian

St. Ananias the Persian (Feast Day - December 1)

Verses

The flesh of Ananias is given to assaults of the flesh,
Though as flesh not apprehending by the senses in the least.

Saint Ananias was from Arvila, a city of Persia. He was arrested for his faith in Christ and the blessed one endured many and vicious tortures. As he was about to commend his soul to the Lord, he said the following: "I see a ladder which extends to the heavens and youth with radiant faces standing on it saying to me, 'Come with us. Come and we will bring you to a city full of light and ineffable rejoicing.'" As soon as he said these words, he surrendered his spirit.

Support the Mystagogy Resource Center

For more than fifteen years, the Mystagogy Resource Center has been a labor of love dedicated to making the riches of the Orthodox Christian tradition freely available to people throughout the world.

Thousands of articles, translations, lives of saints, theological reflections, historical resources, and daily materials have been published across this ministry’s websites, all offered free of charge for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Orthodox faith.

This is a one-man ministry that requires countless hours of research, translation, writing, editing, and maintenance each day.

If this work has spiritually benefited, educated, encouraged, or inspired you in any way, I humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry financially.

Generous annual and monthly benefactors make possible the continuation and expansion of this work for the future, for without such support this ministry cannot exist.

Every contribution, whether large or small, truly makes a difference and is deeply appreciated. May God bless you abundantly for your generosity and prayers.
