↑On this day we also celebrate the translation to Constantinople of the holy right hand of St John the Forerunner (956 AD).[3] The holy Evangelist Luke, who went preaching Christ in various cities and towns, came to Sebaste, where they gave him the right hand of the holy Prophet John, the very hand with which he had baptized the Savior. The Evangelist Luke took it with him to his native city of Antioch.[4] There, many miracles subsequently took place. It is said that during the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, the Bishop also elevated the holy relic; sometimes the relic became extended and sometimes it became contracted; when it was extended it signified a fertile harvest, however when it contracted it signified deprivation and poverty.[3] When the Moslems seized Antioch centuries later, a Deacon named Job brought the holy hand of the Forerunner from Antioch to Chalcedon. From there, on the eve of the Theophany of the Lord, it was transferred to Constantinople (956 AD) and kept thereafter.[4]
↑The Bishop of Athens ordained Julian as Deacon. Adorned with the grace of the holy order, he went forth along with the Priest Julius to preach the Gospel and baptized many.
