Blessed Andrew the Fool-For-Christ at Constantinople - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 1

O Christ God, hearing the words of Your Apostle Paul, saying: / “We are fools for Chris’'s sake”,1 / Your servant Andrew became a fool for Your sake, / therefore, now, honoring his memory, / we pray that the Lord will save our souls.


1 1 Corinthians 4:10

Kontakion — Tone 4

Having become a fool of your own free will, / you despised the blessings of this world, / and mortified carnal wisdom by fasting and thirst, / heat, and bitter frost, never avoiding rain and snow, and other hardships of weather / you purified yourself like gold in a furnace, / O blessed Andrew.
