Saint Cyril of Turov
Memorial 28 April

I am not an harvester, but I gather up sheaves of grain; I am not an artist in book matters. If I were to speak of myself, ye would have done well not to have come into the church. But I proclaim to you the Word of God, I read to you the account of Christ. I do distribute forth the words of God, finer than gold or other stones, more sweet, than mead or honeycomb, and ye would be deprived of them, not having come to church. But ye, having come, I do praise and bless.
