## [Saint Meletius, Archbishop of Antioch - 12 February](https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2026/02/12/100505-saint-…) ![Saint Meletius, Archbishop of Antioch]() 🎶troparion🎶 You appeared to your flock as a rule of faith, an image of humility and a teacher of abstinence. Because of your lowliness, Heaven was opened to you. Because of your poverty, riches were granted to you. O holy Bishop Meletios, pray to Christ our God to save our souls. 🎶kontakion🎶 Fearing your spiritual boldness, the apostate Makedonios fled, and we your servants, celebrating your service with love, flee to you as an intercessor, O Meletios, converser with Angels, and fiery sword of Christ our God, smiting all the godless; and we sing to you, as a lamp which enlightens all. #Christian #OrthodoxChristian #Orthodox #Orthostr #Saint
