Sunday of Saint Thomas

Christ is Risen

He is Truly Risen

April 7. Commemoration of the Holy Martyr Kalliopos and of our Holy Father George, Bishop of Melitene.

Kalliopos was crucified under Emperor Maximian. George died for his faith during the iconoclastic persecution.

Scripture Memory

“Thus they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and mats so that when Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on one or another of them” (Acts 5:15).

“Thomas answered and said to him, ‘My Lord and my God!’ Jesus said to him, ‘Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed’ ” (John 20:28-29).
