Saint Paul the Confessor, Bishop of Prusia

St. Paul the Confessor of Prusia (Feast Day - March 8)

Verses

The trumpet of Paul of Prusia is silenced,
Maintaining the sound of the trumpet till the end.

Saint Paul lived during the time if iconoclasm and was elected Bishop of Prusia in Bithynia, which previously was known as Cius (today it is called Gemlik or Bursa). When he saw the great madness and rage of the iconoclasts against the Church of Christ, causing the images of the saints and decorations of the churches to disappear, as well as the persecution, exile, torture and death of those who venerated icons, he encouraged all those who kept the Orthodox faith to endure with courage. For this he was exiled and persecuted and underwent hardships, because he honored and venerated the holy image of Christ, who became man for our salvation. Having bravely struggled on behalf of Orthodoxy, he delivered his soul into the hands of God.

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.
