A saint from Lebanon…. Intercede Oh Saint Jacob of Hamatoura on our behalf!

Apolytikion of St. Jacob of Hamatoura – 3rd mode – feast is celebrated on October 13th.

“As a cedar of Lebanon groweth without fear of martyrdom and death, thou didst become a victor, O Father Jacob. Thou didst conquer death in thy body when by humility thou didst control the passions and when thou wast burnt like incense as a sacrifice. Intercede with Christ God to grant us great mercy.”
