Venerable Cyriacus of Tazlau, Romania - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 1

Inflamed with the love of Christ, / you spent your life as a hesychast in the cave of Magura Tazlăului,1 glorifying God and defeating the demons. / Therefore, we cry out to you: / "Rejoice, Kyriakos, our Father."

Kontakion — Tone 1

Forsaking the world in your youth, / you left your parental home with their blessing and entered Tazlău2 Monastery to serve in the house of the Lord, / where you made yourself an accomplished monk and then went to the hermitage, / making yourself a chosen vessel of the Spirit. / Therefore, we cry out to you: / "Rejoice, Holy Father Kyriakos, adornment of Moldova and boast of hesychasts."
