Synaxis of the Theotokos at Maranakios


On this day, the 15th of June, we commemorate the Synaxis of our Most Holy Lady the Theotokos at Maranakios. According to the Lavra Codex D 39, on June 16th we commemorate the Synaxis of the Theotokos at Dokianais or Ioukoundianai. There we are informed that the Synaxis at Maranakios and Dokianais are the same. Ioukoundianai was located in the Hebdomon district of Constantinople. According to the Patria ascribed to George Kodinos, the Church of the Theotokos at Maranakios, otherwise called Marnakios, was built between 610 and 638. It is said to have been built by Patriarch Sergios, who also built the Church of Saint George in Chalcedon, and it was here that his body rested.

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.
