Hieromartyrs John the Bishop and Jacob (James) the Presbyter, of Persia - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 4
O God of our Fathers, / always act with kindness towards us; / take not Your mercy from us, / but guide our lives in peace / through the prayers our holy fathers John and Jacob.
Kontakion — Tone 8
(Podoben: “As the first fruits...”)
The Church glorifies you as teachers of virtue and adornments of hierarchs, / singing: “By your intercessions for those who lovingly honor you, / grant progress in virtue, and deliverance from temptations.”
