Not found on our Episcopal Church calendar, but venerated by our brothers and sisters of the Greek Orthodox Church is the martyr Haralambos who lived at the time of the Emperor Septimus Severus (194-211) in the city of Magnesia. In the Orthodox tradition, there are no collects such as we use in our liturgy. However, there are hymns extolling the saints which are chanted during the liturgy. This is the apolytikion or post-communion hymn appointed to be sung at the end of a eucharist offered in celebration of St. Haralambos:
O wise Haralambos, you were proven an unshakable pillar of the Church of Christ; an ever-shining lamp of the universe. You shone in the world by your martyrdom. You delivered us from the moonless night of idolatry O blessed one. Wherefore, boldly intercede to Christ that we may be saved.
