Blessed Basil of Moscow the Fool-For-Christ - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 8
Your life, O Basil, was true and your chastity undefiled. / For the sake of Christ you exhausted your body with fasting, vigil, with frost and the scorching sun, in snow and in rain, / yet your face was radiant like the sun. / And now the people of Russia come to you, glorifying your holy falling asleep. / Therefore, pray to Christ God that He may deliver us from pagan captivity and from civil war, / and grant peace to the world, and great mercy to our souls.
Kontakion — Tone 1
Led by the Spirit of God, most blessed Basil, / you renounced the turmoil of the world, and despised the anxieties of life. / You stripped yourself of your earthly clothing, / and were clothed in the garment of dispassion. / You fled from the temptation of false worldly power, / and were a stranger among your own people. / Having chosen the treasure of Heaven instead of earthly wealth, / you won a crown of patience. / And now, most blessed Basil, / pray to Christ God for us who celebrate your holy memory, that we may cry: "Hail, most blessed Basil."
