- Forefeast of the Dormition
- Translation of the Relics of St Theodosius of the Kyiv Caves
- Holy Prophet Micah (8th c. BC)
- Read his prophecies (which include the prophecy that Christ would be
born in Bethlehem, Micah 5:2) in the Old Testament book that bears his
name. He was a contemporary of the prophets Isaiah, Amos and Hosea, and
is ranked sixth among the "minor" prophets. It was he who prophesied
that the Christ would be born in Bethlehem. (This is a different Micah
from the one mentioned in 1 Chronicles 22:8, who lived earlier). Micah
was buried in his home village of Morasth in the land of Judah; his holy
relics were found along with those of the prophet Habbakuk during the
reign of St Theodosius the Great — their location was given by a
revelation to Zebennus, Bishop of Eleutheropolis.
