Synodikon

A Synodikon is a formal proclamation or written document used by the Orthodox Church to honor saints, confessors, and martyrs. It typically lists and celebrates their virtues, deeds, and sacrifices, serving as a collective homage and theological affirmation of their sanctity. Often read during church services on feast days or on the anniversary of their passing, the Synodikon emphasizes their role as exemplary models of faith and virtue, fostering communal reverence and spiritual reflection among the faithful.
