Troparia and kontakia for April 28

Great and Holy Thursday

Troparion — Tone 8

When the glorious disciples were enlightened / at the washing of their feet before the supper, / then the impious Judas was darkened, ailing with avarice / and to the lawless judges he betrays You, the righteous Judge. / Behold, O lover of money, this man who because of money hanged himself. / Flee from the greedy soul which dared such things against the Master. / O Lord, who is good towards all men, glory to You!

Kontakion — Tone 2

(Podoben: “Seeking the things on high...”)
With his hands the betrayer receives the Bread. / With his hands he secretly receives the silver, / the price of Him who fashioned man with His hands; / so the servant and deceiver Judas remains depraved.

Apostles Jason and Sosipater of the Seventy, the Virgin Kerkyra, and those with them

Troparion — Tone 3

O holy Apostles Jason and Sosipater, / pray to the merciful God, / that He may grant to our souls / remission of our transgressions.

Kontakion — Tone 2

O Jason, source of healing, / and Sosipater, glory of the martyrs of Christ: / You were enlightened by the preaching of Paul, / both becoming a great consolation to the world through your miracles. / Thrice-holy and God-bearing Apostles and defenders of those who suffer, / intercede with Christ God that He may save our souls.

Martyrs Dada, Maximus, and Quinctilian, at Dorostolum

Troparion — Tone 4

Your holy martyrs Dada, Maximus, and Quinctilian, O Lord, / through their sufferings have received incorruptible crowns from You, our God. / For having Your strength, they laid low their adversaries, / and shattered the powerless boldness of demons. / Through their intercessions, save our souls!

Saint Cyril, Bishop of Turov

Troparion — Tone 4

In truth you were revealed to your flock as a rule of faith, / an image of humility and a teacher of abstinence; / your humility exalted you; / your poverty enriched you. / Hierarch Father Cyril, / entreat Christ our God / that our souls may be saved.
