Saint
Timothy
January 22nd
Troparion (Tone 4)
Thou didst learn kindness and goodness and wast
sober and temperate in all things, and wast clothed with a good
conscience as becomes a holy person. Thou didst draw from the
Chosen Vessel unspeakable mysteries; and having kept the Faith
thou didst finish thy course, O Apostle Timothy. Intercede with
Christ our God that our souls may be saved.
Apostle Timothy was one of the 70 disciples that Jesus sent out to proclaim the Kingdom. His mother and grandmother were believing Jews (2 Tim. 1:4-5) and his father was a Greek. He met the Apostle Paul in Lystra, his home town, where he witnessed Paul heal the man who was lame from birth. Timothy became Paul's traveling companion and most faithful coworker in the ministry. After St. Paul's martyrdom, Timothy settled in Ephesus with the Apostle John. He became Bishop there when John was exiled to Patmos. During a pagan feast called Katagogium the crowd mercilessly attacked and killed this holy man. He was 93. His relics were later taken to Constantinople and buried next to St. Luke and St. Andrew the First-Called.
