Uncovering of the Relics of Saints Gurias and Barsanuphius and Commemorations for October 4
Today we remember the uncovering of the relics of Saint Gurias, the first Archbishop of Kazan, and Saint Barsanuphius, Bishop of Tver. Their relics were found incorrupt in 1595 during the building of a new stone church at the Savior-Transfiguration monastery in Kazan. We also commemorate Venerable Ammon the Recluse of the Kiev Caves, Martyrs Gaius, Faustus, Eusebius, and Chaeremon of Alexandria, and Martyr Peter of Capitolias. Each of these saints offers us examples of faith and endurance in different ways.
