Dionisije Areopagit
Spomen oktobar 3
Dionisije Areopagit (grč. Διονύσιος ὁ Ἀρεοπαγίτης) je bio atinski sudija koji je u hrišćanstvo obraćen nakon besede apostola Pavla u atinskom areopagu. Prema Dionisiju Korintskom (koga navodi Evsevije Cezarejski) on je postao prvi atinski episkop i kasnije je mučenički postradao u Atini. Ubraja se u sedamdeset malih apostola.
Tropar
Having learned goodness and maintaining continence in all things,
you were arrayed with a good conscience as befits a priest.
From the chosen Vessel you drew ineffable mysteries;
you kept the faith, and finished a course equal to His.
Bishop martyr Dionysius, entreat Christ God that our souls may be saved.
Kondak
As a disciple of the apostle caught up to the third heaven,
you spiritually entered the gate of heaven, Dionysius.
You were enriched with understanding of ineffable mysteries
and enlightened those who sat in the darkness of ignorance.
Therefore we cry to you: Rejoice, universal Father!
