February 25th
Troparion (Tone 3)
Thy righteous acts have manifested thee to thy flock as a model of faith, a reflection of humility, and a teacher of abstinence, O Father Bishop Riginos.  Therefore, through humilty thou hast achieved exaltation, and through poverty, riches.  Intercede thou with Christ God to save our souls.  

St. Riginos was an educated Greek man with a strong desire to live a Christian life.  The inhabitants of the island of Skopelos heard of his piety and sought to make St. Riginos their bishop.  They succeeded.  As a bishop, St. Riginos participated in the Synod of Sardinia where he condemned the heresy of Areios.  Emperor Julian tortured and beheaded the saint for his Christian faith, along with at least forty other inhabitants of Skopelos in the year 362 A.D.  His remains were transferred to Cyprus, but parts of his relics were brought back to Skopelos where there is a shrine and a monastery built with his name.
