Martyr Gelasius
A Christian who gave away all his goods to the poor and visited the imprisoned faithful, and himself confessed Christ and was martyred; few further details are preserved.

(Podoben: “You sought the heights...”) You appeared as a bright star announcing Christ with your radiance,
which is repulsive to this world, O Martyr Gelasius;
extinguishing the allure of false gods,
you enlighten the faithful,
always interceding for us all.

Your holy martyr Gelasius, O Lord,
through his sufferings has received an incorruptible crown from You, our God.
For having Your strength, he laid low his adversaries,
and shattered the powerless boldness of demons.
Through his intercessions, save our souls!
