Saint Kendeas' feast day is celebrated on October 6.Below is the troparion (hymn) sung on his feast day at the church of Saint Kendeas in Ammochostos (Famagusta)in Cyprus: Having hallowed through struggles the Jordan wildnerness and the island of Cyprus,You shone out upon all through remarkable battles as a fixed star.Therefore, having seen the fullness of your wonders,O God-bearing Kendeas, we lift our voices:Glory to You, O Christ, through him who extols.  Glory to You through him who magnifies.

Leaders of the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities, President Demetris Christofias and Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat, begin direct negotiations today aimed at a comprehensive settlement of the Cyprus problem.The aim of the peace talks is to reunify the island, divided since 1974 when Turkey invaded and occupied a third of the island in the north.See www.thecypriot.com and www.cyprusembassy.net for regular updates of Cyprus peace talks.
