Carpus of Beroea

Carpus of Beroea (Greek: Κάρπος) of the Seventy Disciples is commemorated by the Church on May 26 with Alphaeus, and on January 4 with the Seventy.

In his second Epistle to Timothy (2 Timothy 4:13), Paul requests, "The phelonion that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books." Carpus was bishop of Beroea (or Verria) in Macedonia.

Hymns

Troparion (Tone 3) [1]

O holy Apostle Carpus,

Entreat the merciful God,

To grant our souls forgiveness of transgressions.

The Church possesses You as a shining star,

O Holy Apostle Carpus,

And is illumined by the multitude of your miracles.

Save those who honor in faith

Your holy memory.
