Icon - Twelve ApostlesTroparion:
First-enthroned of the apostles,
teachers of the universe:
Entreat the Master of all
to grant peace to the world,
and to our souls great mercy!

Kontakion:
Today Christ the Rock glorifies with highest honour
Peter, the rock of faith and leader of the apostles,
together with Paul and the company of the twelve,
whose memory we celebrate with eagerness of faith,
giving glory to the One Who gave glory to them.

Today [June 30], is the Feast of the Synaxis of the Holy, Glorious and All-Praised Twelve Apostles. A blessed Feast Day to all.

And well may I need to the intercession of the Twelve; I shall be at work all night, yes, all night!, as a project goes live from the very early hours of Tuesday morning to the later, but still early, hours of Tuesday morning. Lord, have mercy!
