The Uncovering of the Relics of the Hieromartyr Νikόdēmos, Bishop of Belgorod - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 4
With loud voices, let us glorify the zealot of Orthodoxy and piety, / the Hieromartyr Νikόdēmos and the Hierarch Joasaph, who gave his life for the sheep of Christ's flock; / pray to the all-merciful God for us / that He may strengthen our land in Orthodoxy with faith, hope and love, / and bestow great mercy on our souls.
Kontakion — Tone 8
O chosen lamp of the land of Belgorod, you suffered martyrdom and death for the sake of Christ; / since you have received invincible grace, help us with your patronage in the establishment of Orthodoxy, / that we may cry out to you with faith: “Rejoice, Hieromartyr Νikόdēmos, Archpastor and zealous intercessor.”
