Hieromartyr Irenaeus, Bishop of Lyons - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 1
(Podoben: “You were lifted up...”)
As a wise Hierarch bearing the name of peace, / you proclaimed the Gospel in the world, Most Blessed and Holy Irenaeus, / and you contested vigorously for Christ; / therefore, O Hieromartyr, we honor you in song, crying; / “Glory to Him Who strengthened you. / Glory to Him Who crowned you. / Glory to Him Who, through you, grants us grace and mercy.”
Kontakion — Tone 4
(Podoben: “You were lifted up...”)
As one who lived piously among Hierarchs and who underwent martyrdom, / O divinely-wise one, / you
extinguished the sacrifices of idolatry / and showed yourself to be a protector of your flock. / Therefore,
we fervently cry out to you: / “By your intercessions, deliver us from all misfortunes, / O Irenaeus our Father.”
