Venerable Onuphrius the Great - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 1

In the flesh you lived the life of the angels, / you were citizens of the desert and treasuries of grace, / O Onuphrius, adornment of Egypt, / and Peter the light of Athos. / Therefore we honor your struggles as we sing to you: / Glory to him who has strengthened you! / Glory to him who granted you a crown! / Glory to him who through you grants healing to all!

Kontakion — Tone 2

You appeared as a bright star to the hermits of the desert, / a light shining in the darkness of solitude, O holy Father Onuphrius, / therefore ceaselessly intercede for us all.

Kontakion — Tone 8

By your achievements in the wilderness you became like the Bodiless Powers, / godly Onuphrius, and righteous Peter adornment of Athos. / The heavenly-minded pair who sing in one voice: “Alleluia”!
