Память во святых отца нашего Келестина, папы Римского

This monk was bishop of the city of Rome under Emperor Theodosius the Younger in 2472. He was distinguished by high perfection in life and word, which is why he was awarded election to the episcopal see of Rome after Pope Zosimus died and after him Blessed Boniface, successor of Innocent the Great 2473. Speaking and acting in everything according to the Apostolic Tradition, Celestine with his messages deposed the wicked Nestorius, in which Blessed Cyril also assisted him 2474. Having composed many other verbal instructions worthy of memory, he died peacefully, having moved into eternal blessed life, and triumphs in the host of the Apostles and Fathers 2475. Theodosius II the Younger reigned from 408 to 450. There is obviously a mistake here. Pope Innocent I occupied the Roman episcopal see from 402 to 417, followed by Zosimus from 417 to 418, Boniface I from 418 to 422, and Celestine from 422 to 432. In 430, after the local Roman council that condemned Nestorius, Celestine wrote a message to Archbishop Cyril of Alexandria, in which it was said that if Nestorius, 10 days after receiving this message, did not recognize the faith contained in Rome and Alexandria, he would be deposed and excommunicated. At the same time, Celestine sent a message to the Church of Constantinople and Archbishop John of Antioch, in which he denounced the error of Nestorius and announced the condemnation that would be pronounced if Nestorius persisted. Kelestin instructed Cyril to carry out this sentence, as an authorized representative of the Roman bishop. The death of the Monk Celestine followed in 432. You might be interested in:
