Commemoration of the Holy Fathers of the First Ecumenical Council
Troparion — Tone 8
You are most glorious, O Christ our God! / You have established the Holy Fathers as lights on the earth! / Through them you have guided us to the true faith! / O greatly Compassionate One, glory to You!
Kontakion — Tone 8
The Apostles’ preaching and the Fathers’ doctrines have established one faith for the Church. / Adorned with the robe of truth, woven from heavenly theology, / it defines and glorifies the great mystery of Orthodoxy!
Venerable Isaac, Founder of Dalmátos Monastery at Constantinople
Troparion — Tone 3
(Podoben: “The Divine Faith...”)
Appearing as an example of abstinence, and a support of the Church, / O Isaac, adornment of the Fathers, / your life was radiant with virtues, / and you clearly expounded the word of Orthodoxy. / O Venerable Father, entreat Christ God that He may grant us great mercy.
Kontakion — Tone 8
(Podoben: “As first-fruits...”)
As a faithful servant of God, you were inflamed with zeal for the Church of Christ, / holding the reins of the Emperor Valens, / you prophetically foretold His death in a fire because of his closure of the churches. / Therefore, always pray for us who honor you, O Venerable Father Isaac.
