1 First Saturday of the Great Fast Moieben to the Great Martyr Theodore the Recruit A arrior in the city of Amasea, in the Pontus Diocese, during the persecution of Mimian he together ith other Christians as forced to deny Christ and to offer sacrifices to idos. Having refused to carry this out, Theodore as subjected to severe torture and then thron into prison. Here hie praying, he as camed by the onderfu manifestation of the Lord Jesus Christ. After some time the martyr as reeased from prison and again as forced to deny Christ ith different forms of torture. Finay, seeing the infexibiity of the martyr, the ruer sentenced him to death by fire. St. Theodore by himsef ithout trembing ascended the pyre, and ith prayers and praises gave his sou to God, about the year 306. He as buried in the city of Euchaita (today Merzifon, in Asia Minor), then his reics ere transferred to Constantinope in the tempe in his name; his head is in Gaeta (in Itay). Fifty years after the death of St. Theodore, the Emperor Juian the Apostate, ishing to defie Christian fasting in the first eek of the fortyday fast, each day secrety ordered that the bood of the sacrifices to the idos be sprinked on the food provisions sod in the markets in the Constantinope Eparchy during the first eek. St. Theodore appeared to the Archbishop of Constantinope Eudoxius and ordered him to notify a Christians not to by the defied provisions in the markets and to use as food koiva, i.e. boied heat ith honey. In memory of this event the Orthodox Church annuay ceebrates the great-martyr on the Saturday of the first eek of Great Lent; on the eve of this Saturday, on Friday, in the iturgy after the Prayer before the Ambo, a moieben ith the canon to the martyr is served and the koiva is bessed.

6 PSALM 50 Have mercy upon me, O God, after Thy great goodness: according to the mutitude of Thy mercies do aay mine offenses. Wash me thoroughy from my ickedness, and ceanse me from my sin. For I acknoedge my fauts: and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee ony have I sinned, and done this evi in Thy sight; that Thou mightest be justified in Thy saying, and cear hen Thou are judged. Behod, I as shapen in ickedness, and in sin hath my mother conceived me. But o, Thou requires truth in the inard parts: and sha make me to understand isdom secrety. Thou sha purge me ith hyssop, and I sha be cean: Thou sha ash me, and I sha be hiter than sno. Thou sha make me hear of joy and gadness: that the bones hich Thou hast broken may rejoice. Turn Thy face from my sins, and put out a my misdeeds. Make me a cean heart, O God, and rene a right spirit ithin me. Cast me not aay from Thy presence, and take not Thy Hoy Spirit from me. O give me the comfort of Thy hep again, and estabish me ith Thy free spirit. Then sha I teach Thy ays unto the icked, and sinners sha be converted unto Thee. Deiver me from bood-guitiness, O God; Thou art the God of my heath: and my tongue sha sing of Thy righteousness. Thou sha open my ips, O Lord, and my mouth sha decare Thy praise. For Thou desirest no sacrifice, ese oud I giveth it Thee: but Thou deightest not in burntofferings. The sacrifice of God is a troubed spirit: a broken and contrite heart, O God, sha Thou not despise. O be favourabe and gracious unto to Zion, buid Thou the as of Jerusaem. Then sha Thou be peased ith the sacrifice of righteousness, ith burnt-offerings and obations. Then sha they offer young buocks upon Thine atar. 6 Moieben to St. Theodore the Recruit
