Talk:Serapion of Thmuis
Is Serapion of Thmuis an official Eastern Orthodox Saint or his he merely a "saint" for the Egyptian church? Also, what tag do I need to give this article? Vasiliki 22:47, December 21, 2008 (UTC)
- St Serapion is commemorated on March 21st in the Eastern Orthodox Church, as well as being commemorated by the Oriental Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches. --Fr Lev 00:31, December 22, 2008 (UTC)
- Wonderful! Thank you so much ...I was hoping someone would say that. Also, are his writings considered theologically OK or should they be read with caution ... Vasiliki 00:38, December 22, 2008 (UTC)
I removed the material on his Euchologion from this biographical article, since it is more appropriate for the article on the Euchologion itself. I know of nothing theologically suspect about St Serapion's work. --Fr Lev 00:48, December 22, 2008 (UTC)
"Absent Byzantines synaxaries, the memory of this great confessor of the Orthodox faith [i.e. Serapion of Thmuis] is mentioned in the February 7 in the Gospel Parisianus gr. 282 (ninth century). ° f 233r. The Roman Martyrologium place his memory on March 21 by confusion with that of the Serapion Sindonite." (Fr Macarius of Simonopetra, in his Synaxarion) --Inistea 15:50, March 20, 2014 (PDT)
