Repose of Saint Innocent, first Bishop of Irkutsk - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 3

Most radiant luminary of the Church, you have enlightened Siberia with the rays of your virtues, / and by healing a multitude of those who came to your shrine with faith, you have glorified God. / We entreat you, Hierarch and Father Innocent, / by your prayers preserve us from all misfortunes and sorrows.

Kontakion — Tone 2

Let us the faithful lovingly glorify the irreproachable1 shepherd / and preacher of faith among the peoples of Mongolia, / the glory and adornment of the flock of Irkutsk, / for he is the guardian of Siberia and intercessor for our souls.


1 An allusion to the Saint's name. Непорочности means "guiltless," or "blameless." In other words, "innocent."
