The Holy 20,000 Martyrs of Nicomedia: At the beginning of the fourth century the emperor Maximian (284-305) gave orders to destroy Christian churches, to burn service books, and to deprive all Christians of rights and privileges of citizenship. At this time the bishop of the city of Nicomedia was Saint Cyril, who by his preaching and life contributed to the spread of Christianity, so that many members of the emperor’s court were also secret Christians.

The Incarnation is not merely a past event, but an ongoing process. While uniquely occurring in Christ, it continues through Christian life and, crucially, through theology. Theology must continually “give birth to the Word of God,” adapting to each age and culture, lest it become a stagnant, dead-end echo of the past, rather than a living embodiment of the divine.
