Circumcision of Our Lord / Saint Basil - January 1, 2022

Apolytikion of Circumcision of Jesus Christ

Our human form hast Thou taken on Thyself without change, O greatly-compassionate Master, though being God by nature; fulfilling the Law, Thou willingly receivest circumcision in the flesh, that Thou mightest end the shadow and roll away the veil of our sinful passions. Glory be to Thy goodness unto us. Glory be to Thy compassion. Glory, O Word, to Thine inexpressible condescension.

Father Mark Pakes offers the homily.
