Artemius received many awards for distinguished service and courage. He was appointed viceroy of Egypt. In this official position he did much for the spreading and strengthening Christianity in Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>Saint Artemius was sent by the emperor Constantius to bring the relics of the holy Apostle Andrew from Patras, and the relics of the holy Apostle Luke from Thebes of Boeotia, to Constantinople. The holy relics were placed in the Church of the Holy Apostles beneath the table of oblation. The emperor rewarded him by making him ruler of Egypt.<\/p>\n<p>The emperor Constantius was succeeded on the throne by Julian the Apostate (361-363). Julian in his desire to restore paganism was extremely antagonistic towards Christians, sending hundreds to their death. At Antioch he ordered the torture of two bishops unwilling to forsake the Christian Faith. <\/p>\n<p><em>Read the complete story on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oca.org\/saints\/lives\/2019\/10\/20\/103005-greatmartyr-artemius-at-antioch\">Orthodox Church in America<\/a> website.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<h2>Services and Events This Week<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>SUN Oct 13<\/strong> &mdash; SUNDAY Divine Liturgy Orthros 8:30am \/ Liturgy 9:30am LIVE STREAM<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wed Oct 16<\/strong> &mdash; Early Divine Liturgy 6:00am LIVE STREAM<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fri Oct 18<\/strong> &mdash; St Luke Divine Liturgy 9:00am LIVE STREAM<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fri Oct 18<\/strong> &mdash; Men of St. Paisios 7:00pm<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sat Oct 19<\/strong> &mdash; St. John of Kronstadt Divine Liturgy 9:00am LIVE STREAM<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sat Oct 19<\/strong> &mdash; Parish Council Meeting 10:30am<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sat Oct 19<\/strong> &mdash; Great Vespers 5:30pm LIVE STREAM<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<h2>Hurricane Milton Report<\/h2>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p>Meet the the St. Peter&#8217;s Hoplites (ancient Greek Temple guards) who put up hurricane shutters before Milton hit.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/stpeterorthodoxchurch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/hoplites-500x282-1.jpg\" alt=\"Saint Peter's Hoplites\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p>Thank you men!

(8:26-39)<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>At that time, Jesus arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee. And as He stepped out on land, there met Him a man from the city who had demons; for a long time he had worn no clothes, and he lived not in a house but among the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice, &ldquo;What hast Thou to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech Thee, do not torment me.&rdquo; For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. [For many a time it had seized him; he was kept under guard, and bound with chains and fetters, but he broke the bonds and was driven by the demon into the desert.&#93;<\/p>\n<p>Jesus then asked him, &ldquo;What is your name?&rdquo; And he said, &ldquo;Legion&rdquo;; for many demons had entered him. And they begged Jesus not to command them to depart into the abyss. Now a large herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside; and they begged Jesus to let them enter these. So He gave them leave. Then the demons came out of the man and entered the swine, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned. When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Then people went out to see what had happened, and they came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. And those who had seen it told them how he who had been possessed with demons was healed. Then all the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked Jesus to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear; so He got into the boat and returned.<\/p>\n<p>The man from whom the demons had gone begged that he might be with Jesus; but Jesus sent him away, saying, &ldquo;Return to your home, and declare all that God has done for you.&rdquo; And he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city all that Jesus had done for him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; margin: 1em 1em\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"St. Peter Orthodox Church\" src=\"http:\/\/stpeterorthodoxchurch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/divider-2.png\" style=\"border: 0;\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sixth Week of Lent<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26819","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stpeterorthodoxchurch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26819","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stpeterorthodoxchurch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stpeterorthodoxchurch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stpeterorthodoxchurch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stpeterorthodoxchurch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26819"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/stpeterorthodoxchurch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26819\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26824,"href":"https:\/\/stpeterorthodoxchurch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26819\/revisions\/26824"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stpeterorthodoxchurch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stpeterorthodoxchurch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26819"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stpeterorthodoxchurch.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
