Anakomidí Leipsánon Agíou Athanasiou – Γιορτή 2/5

the Orthodox church honors with great reverence the transfer of the holy relics of Saint Athanasius the Great. He is one of the most significant Fathers and teachers of Christianity. this celebration marks an vital point in the ecclesiastical calendar as it directs believers’ attention to the spiritual legacy of this “pillar of Orthodoxy,” who remained steadfast in defending truth despite persecutions and exiles.

If we consider that January 18 is traditionally recognized as his main feast day, today carries a deeper historical and theological importance that has been widely discussed in ecclesiastical literature. Although January 18 has been established as Saint Athanasius’s primary memorial day according to saint.gr , there are strong historical indications that suggest or else.

the Codex of Kausokalyvia and a specific couplet found in Lavriotikos Codex I 70 indicate that his actual death date aligns with today’s date. These sources imply that his canonical memory should be celebrated today since references to the transfer of relics lack solid historical foundation and written testimony.

A noteworthy aspect is that unpublished hymns sung on May 2 focus solely on commemorating Saint Athanasius rather than on the event concerning his relics’ transfer. The exact reason for moving his main feast to January 18 alongside Saint Cyril remains unclear; however, it seems likely this was done to honor both prominent theologians from alexandria together.

The Orthodox Church holds Saint Athanasius in high esteem as one of its most heroic saints.His hymns celebrate him with titles reflecting his immense spiritual influence: “the great trumpet of the Church,” “the standard bearer for virtues,” “the brilliant eye,” among others—inviting believers to study his life and strive for emulating his virtues.
