Summary
Dimitrios Panagopoulos marks the feast of Saints Athanasius and Cyril of Alexandria in a broadcast centered on Hebrews 13:7-14 and Psalm 118:22. Athanasius is presented as the defender of the Homoousios at Nicaea against Arius and as a bishop who endured repeated exiles rather than rehabilitate Arianism. Cyril is presented as presiding at Ephesus in 431, refuting Nestorius and upholding Theotokos for the Virgin Mary. The homily also expounds their Apolytikion, notes their theological writings, and uses Hebrews to urge honor for spiritual leaders, resistance to strange teachings, and recognition of Christ's sacrifice outside the gate as universal and superior to the Mosaic sacrificial order.
