Byzantine Saints: Translation of the relics of St. John Chrysostom (27 January)

About this sermon

The Translation of the Relics of St John Chrysostom is one of the most moving events in Orthodox Church history. St John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople, Great Ecumenical Teacher, and Hierarch, reposed in exile in 407 AD after boldly condemning the moral corruption of those in power, including the court of Empress Eudoxia. Thirty years after his death, during the reign of Emperor Theodosius II, the faithful of Constantinople—led by St Proclus, Patriarch of Constantinople—begged that the holy relics of St John be returned from Kamana. After the Emperor humbled himself and asked forgiveness through a written prayer, the relics were miraculously lifted and brought back to Constantinople. When the coffin was opened at the Church of Hagia Eirene, the body of St John Chrysostom was found incorrupt. The faithful witnessed awe-inspiring signs, healings, and even the saint himself proclaiming, “Peace be to all.” The Feast of the Translation of the Relics of St John Chrysostom was formally established in the 9th century, and St John is commemorated on January 27 by the Orthodox Church. ☦️ This video recounts the history, miracles, and enduring legacy of one of the Church’s greatest saints. 0:00 – Introduction: Translation of the Relics of St John Chrysostom 0:20 – Who Was St John Chrysostom 0:30 – His Exile and Death in Kamana (407 AD) 0:45 – The Year 438: Emperor Theodosius II 1:05 – Love of the Faithful for St John 1:08 – St Proclus and the Sermon at Hagia Sophia 1:48 – The People Beg for the Relics’ Return 2:03 – The Relics Cannot Be Lifted 2:12 – The Emperor’s Letter of Repentance 2:24 – The Relics Are Transferred to Constantinople 2:30 – Hagia Eirene and the Incorrupt Body 2:42 – The Emperor’s Tears and Repentance 2:50 – Church of the Holy Apostles 2:56 – “Father, Take Up Your Throne” 2:59 – “Peace Be to All” 3:03 – Healings and Miracles 3:07 – Establishment of the Feast (9th Century) https://www.oca.org/saints/lives 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
