Saint James the Confessor, Bishop of Catania - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 5

(Podoben: “Come, let us worship the Word...”)
Shining forth with purity, you rightly divided the inspired Word of truth / as a Hierarch and a minister of God the Word. / By your virtuous struggle you revealed and confirmed the grace granted to you, O James, / instructing all to venerate the Icon of the Savior, / with Whom you intercede for us all.

Kontakion — Tone 8

You excelled in the gifts of the priesthood, O Confessor, / and through your labors You became illustrious in confessing the Faith. / Since you are a fruitful branch of Christ the True Vine, / grant the new wine of forgiveness and salvation to those who cry to you: “Rejoice, O Father James!”
