9 January 2024
День памяти святителя Сильвестра, Папы Римского
Today, January 2, the Church remembers St. Sylvester, the Pope, who was born in Rome and became Bishop of ancient Rome in 314 AD. With his distinctive orthodoxy, he overthrew the heresy of Arion and established liturgical rules for the consecration of the Holy Peace.


On the advice of Saint Sylvester, Constantine the Great erected seven temples in honor of Christ the Savior and the holy martyrs. St. Sylvester died peacefully in old age, leaving an example of a great shepherd.
