Repose of Saint Theoktistos, Archbishop of Novgorod - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 3
You were an excellent servant of the Wisdom of God the Word, / a true emulator of the Angelic life, / a true follower of the Divine lover of purity, / sharing a throne with the Hierarchs, living with monastics, splendor of pastors, / and glory of Novgorod the Great, / O Venerable Hierarch Theóktistos, our Father, / entreat the Word of God, Whom you served during your lifetime, / for the salvation of our souls.
Kontakion — Tone 8
O splendor of Hierarchs, and divinely inspired adornment of Great Novgorod for the people who dwell in it, / in the pastures of the life-bearing law of the Lord; / therefore, you were vouchsafed to dwell in the assembly of the Saints, / and have kept your holy memory pure for many years; / revering you from the bottom of our hearts, we cry out to you: / “Rejoice, O Hierarch Theóktistos our Father, the glory and strength of Great Novgorod.”
