Feast day fo Saint Papias
Sat Feb 22nd
“Whenever anyone came my way, who had been a follower of my seniors, I would ask for the accounts of our seniors: What did Andrew or Peter say? Or Phillip or Thomas or James or John, or Matthew, or any of the Lord’s disciples? I also asked: What did Aristion and John the Presbyter, disciples of the Lord say? For, as I see it, it is not so much from books as from the living and permanent voice that I must draw profit.”
Saint Papias, quote from Eusebius of Caesarea, Ecclesiastical History, Book 3, Chapter 39
