Obadiah the Prophet

Reading from the Synaxarion:

The Divine Scriptures do not tell us with any certainty when the
Prophet Abdias lived nor what was his homeland. Thus, some say that he is
that Abdias who was Ahab's steward, who, because of Jezebel's wrath,
hid one hundred prophets in a cave and fed them with bread and water
(III Kings 18:4), and that he later became a disciple of Elias the
Prophet about 903 B.C. But others surmise from the words of the same
prophetical book that he is somewhat later than Joel (celebrated on Oct. 19).
He is also called Obdiu, or Abdiu, or Obadiah; his name means
"servant of God." His book of prophecy, which consists of only one
chapter, is ranked fourth among the minor Prophets.

Apolytikion in the Second Tone
As we celebrate the memory of Thy Prophet Obadiach, O Lord, through
him we beseech Thee to save our souls.

Kontakion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone
As a divinely-chosen Prophet, thou foretoldest things far off, that
on Mount Sion salvation should come to pass, for Heaven's myst'ries
shone on thee; as thou dwellest in Heaven with the Prophets, rejoicing
in Christ whom ye foretold, entreat Him, O Abdias, to save us, who
honour thee with love.
