Saint David, who was from Thessalonica, lived a most holy and ascetical life.
For some years, he took up his dwelling in the branches of an almond
tree, exposed to all the elements and extremes of the weather. He reposed
in peace during the reign of Saint Justinian the Great, in the sixth
century.
Apolytikion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone:
The image of God, was faithfully preserved in you, O Father. For you took up
the Cross and followed Christ. By Your actions you taught us to look beyond
the flesh for it passes, rather to be concerned about the soul which is immortal.
Wherefore, O Holy David, your soul rejoices with the angels.
Kontakion in the
Second Tone:
An Angel on earth, and stranger to all earthly things, thou madest a tree thy
dwelling like an eagle's nest, whence, O David, thou didst soar up to Heaven,
where thou didst find that Tree which in Eden we lost of old. Remember us all,
who keep thy memory.
