Our venerable fathers Isaac, Dalmatus and Faust.
August 3 Memorial The Reverend Dalmat lived during the reign of Theodosius the Great [Feodosius the Great <unk> emperor 379-395 AD] served in the army [In the second guards regiment, which were then called scholars.] and enjoyed the respect of the king.
Then, having despised all worldly things, he left his wife and children [Daughters]; taking with him the only son Faust, he went to the monk Isaac, who had a dwelling near Constantinople; here they were shaved by the monk Isaac in the monastic rank and both led a godly life, constantly observing a strict fast.

Isaac died in 383.] Patriarch Atticus of Constantinople ordained the monk Dalmatus as a priest [According to other, more reliable sources, he was appointed abbot of the monastery by Patriarch Nectarius (381-397), not Atticus (408-425).]
He lived a life of complete abstinence and once in a great fast for forty days did not eat food [And then, after taking food, 43 days before the feast of the Ascension of Christ he was in ecstasy (delight) and at this time he was granted divine visions and told what places three of their brothers stood at the feast in the church of the Maccabees, which gained universal fame.
Dalmata, praising him exceedingly in a letter to John of Antioch.]; by fasting and prayer, the holy Dalmata conquered the demonic force.
He also took up arms against the visible servants of the devil <unk> the heretics of the Nestorians, who blasphemed the Most Holy Mother of God [The Nestorians claimed that the Most Holy Virgin Mary should not be called the Mother of God, because She did not give birth to God, but only to a man, with whom, besides Her, the Word of God was united, eternally born of the Father; the man Jesus, born of Mary, was only the abode of the Godhead and the instrument of our salvation; this man, through the birth of St.
The heresy of Nestorianism was condemned at the Third Ecumenical Council.]: St. Dalmatus was an active helper of the holy fathers of the third ecumenical council, which met under King Theodosius the Younger in Ephesus.
Dalmatus, at the head of the monks, monks and Orthodox Christians, went to the palace of the king and spoke boldly before the emperor for the truth; meanwhile, he had not left the monastery for 48 years, although the king asked him to do so, wishing that the great hermit would participate in the common prayers for deliverance from the earthquake.] , with this, the monk Dalmatus gained the love of the king and the holy fathers, who made him archimandrite of the Dalmatian monastery.
Having thus devoted almost all his life to the service of God, the monk Dalmatus passed away in deep old age into eternity [The time of his death is not known exactly, we can only say that he lived still under St. Proclus, Patriarch of Constantinople.
After 434 and probably about 440.] <unk> Monsignor Faust, like his father, was a great hermit, he strictly observed the covenants of the pagan and especially of them the fast [About his life no details have been preserved.]

7 And then, after eating a meal, 43 days before the feast of the Ascension of Christ, he spent in ecstasy (admiration) and at this time was given divine visions and told where three of their brothers' monasteries were located at the feast in the church of the Maccabees, which gained him universal fame. St. Patriarch Proclus (434-446), still alive, preacher Dalmatus, praises him exceedingly in a letter to John of Antioch. 8 Heretics correctly argued that the Blessed Virgin should not be called the Virgin Mary, because she did not give birth to God, but only the instrument with which the Virgin, the Son of God, was united, was born first of the Father, the Son of God, the Son of God, and this man became the united person of God through the anointing of the Holy Spirit, or the divine Word, and thus the divine person, Jesus Christ, became the firstborn of God through the anointing of Christ.
9 Having learned that Orthodoxy at the Council of Ephesus was threatened by violence, St. Dalmatus, taking the lead of the Igunes, monks and faithful Christians to Orthodoxy, went to the king's palace and spoke boldly before the emperor for the truth; meanwhile he had not left the monastery for 48 years, although the king had asked him to do so, wishing that the great figure should participate in the general prayers for relief from the earthquake. 10 The time of his death is not known with certainty, it can only be said that he lived at St. Proclus, Patriarch of Constantinople.
