Many many thanks to all those who contributed to match a generous $3000 donation from an anonymous donor. The goal was attained this past weekend. It is because of people like you that the Mystagogy Resource Center can continue to offer unique material to all for free on a daily basis that I hope people find beneficial. For those who still wish to contribute, please do so, with much gratitude in return. God bless you all!

Synaxis of Saint John the Theologian in the Biatos or Beotos


Verses

The child of thunder greatly sounded again,
In Biatos where his house stands.

It is not certain today where Biatos or Beotos is, as indicated by the confusion of how the place is pronounced in the Synaxarion of Constantinople, however it probably refers to a district in or around Constantinople where a church dedicated to Saint John the Theologian stood. On the 10th of July, this church celebrated its Synaxis.
