Today is Gary's namesday, so this saint to the right, Columba of Iona, is thus commemorated. God grant Gary many years!
By your God-inspired life
You embodied both the mission and the dispersion of the Church,
Most glorious Father Columba.
Using your repentance and voluntary exile,
Christ our God raised you up as a beacon of the True Faith,
An apostle to the heathen and an indicator of the Way of salvation.
Wherefore O holy one, cease not to intercede for us
That our souls may be saved. (Troparion, Tone 5)

Happy Anniversary! Many years!
St. Columba is the patron saint of our family and we have the most beautiful icon of him over our living room door.
Happy Anniversary! Many Years!
The man who was Chrismated on the same day as me (and who is also named Gary) calls upon as his Heavenly Patron St. Columba.
Thanks Bryan.
