The memory of our holy father, Emilian the Confessor, bishop of Kyzychy
Emilian, bishop of Kizicus [Kizyk is on the Peninsula of Propontidis (Marble Sea) Arktonisse; the city was founded by the Milesians in the 5th century B.C.], suffered for confessing to Christ during the reign of the Armenian Lion the Icon-Worker [Armenian Lion V <unk> Emperor 813-820].
St. Emilian was repeatedly forced to abandon the worship of honest and holy icons, but he did not obey, following the teachings of the holy fathers unwaveringly.
At a meeting of the bishops, led by the patriarch, at the court of the iconoclast king, St. Emilian, the first of the bishops began to speak boldly to Leo the Armenian, firmly defending the rights of the church.
On the insistence of the emperor, who was inclined to idolatry, he said: "If this question, emperor, is a church question, as you yourself said, then let it be investigated in the church according to the custom.
But St. Emilian endured it all with joy in the hope of obtaining eternal bliss in exchange for temporary suffering.
With such a pure Christian spirit, passing through the sorrows and sufferings of his life, Saint Emilian died in captivity, trusting in the Lord and decorated with the crown of a confessor.
The Church praises the saintly Emilian, for whom you suffered. For this we honor your memory, deliver your slave from the pagan invasion.
