Prophet
Isaiah
May 9th
Kontakion (Tone 2)
You were favored with the gift of prophecy,
O Seer and Prophet Isaiah, the Preacher of God's ways! You
announced to all mankind the Incarnation of God when you
prophesied: "Behold, a Virgin is with child!"
Isaiah was the first of the four major prophets of the Old Testament. The book of Isaiah is called the "Gospel of the O.T." because of its many and detailed prophecies about Christ. His prophecy is very eloquent, poetical and to the point. He was killed in 681 B.C. by Manasseh, son of King Hezekiah. His relics were brought to Constantinople, where a church was dedicated to him by the Empress Pulcheria.
This Icon is by the hand of Nicholas Papas. It is from St. Philip Antiochian Orthodox Church, Souderton, Pennsylvania.
