Consecration of the Archangel Gabriel in Chaldais


According to the Lavra Codex D39 the consecration of the Church or Monastery of the Archangel Gabriel in Chaldais took place on July 25th, while the Synaxaristes of Saint Nikodemos says it was on July 26th. The location of Chaldais is probably where the people of Chalybes dwelt, mentioned by classical authors as living in Pontus and Cappadocia in northern Anatolia. Their territory was known as Chaldia, extending from the Halys to Pharnakeia and Trebizond in the east and as far south as eastern Anatolia.

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.
