3 May: St Irodion from Lainici, Disciple and Father Confessor of St Calinic of Cernica




Short time ago the former abbot of Lainici Monastery, Pious Irodion, was proclaimed saint. The moment was marked by the lecture of the Synodal Tomos by His Grace Emilian Lovisteanul, Assistant Bishop to the Archdiocese of Ramnic, informs Trinitas Radio station. “The Holy Orthodox Church has always honoured the people pleasant to God who lived their earthly life in holiness and piety and who brought spiritual benefit in the souls of the faithful through their deeds and words. Following the holy tradition of the Orthodox Church and praying for the help of the Holy Life Giving Undivided Trinity we decide that from now on and forever and ever abbot Irodion from Lainici Monastery should be one of the Saints of the Church in the host of the pious God bearers fathers and honoured with eulogy chants, bearing the name of Saint Pious Irodion from Lainici. We establish in the Holy Spirit the day of May 3 of every year for his celebration, with his name listed in the Sinaxar, in the books of rite, as well as in the calendar of the Romanian Orthodox Church”, said His Grace Emilian Lovisteanul.


Saint Pious Irodion, pray for us the sinners!
