Hieromartyr Maxim Sandovich - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 4

By God’s Providence you were sent to the Mountain of Pochaev / for the knowledge of the truth of the Orthodox Faith, / and after receiving true teaching in the city of Zhitomir, / you came to our land as a soldier of Christ. / For Orthodoxy and for your own people you received a martyr's crown. / Therefore, you confirmed your native land in Orthodoxy. / O Hieromartyr Maxim, entreat Christ God that our souls may be saved.

Kontakion — Tone 2

Your Martyrdom, O Father Maxim, / enlightened and encouraged our people in the Orthodox Faith. / Giving up your own life to Christ God, / you endured torments and suffered imprisonment. / Pray for us and for your land before Christ our God.
