Saint Dionysius the Areopagite was an Athenian by origin and lived during the period when Dometian was the emperor of Rome. He was a member of the Parliament of Aeros Pagos and was distinguished for his philosophical and spiritual training. His conversion to Christianity took place when he heard the preaching of the Apostle Paul. He was baptized a Christian and later ordained Bishop of Athens.

Saint Dionysius was arrested in Paris where he preached the Word of God and was martyred by beheading. Parts of the Holy Skull of Saint are located in the Monastery of Simonos Petras on Mount Athos. He is the patron saint of Athens and his memory is honored by the Orthodox Christian Church on October 3 of each year.

Apolytikion of Saint Dionysios the Areopagite

Fourth Tone

Since thou hadst been instructed in uprightness thoroughly and wast vigilant in all things, thou wast clothed with a good conscience as befitteth one holy. Thou didst draw from the Chosen Vessel ineffable mysteries; and having kept the Faith, thou didst finish a like course, O Hieromartyr Dionysios. Intercede with Christ God that our souls be saved.
