Martyr Savva Stratelates “the General” of Rome, and 70 soldiers with him - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 5

You abandoned earthly rank and honor, / and as an athlete, confessed Christ God before the false and tyrannical emperors. / For His sake, you endured much suffering, O glorious one. / Therefore, splendidly adorned with the armies of heaven, / you have been crowned with a beautiful wreath of victory / by the King who reigns over all. / As you stand before Him, O Savva, / pray that He may save our souls.

Kontakion — Tone 4

You were shown to be an invincible athlete, most blessed Savva, / overcoming the snares of the barbarians. / You contended with faithfulness, / conquering a multitude of the invisible enemy. / Therefore, you have woven a wreath of victory. / Most glorious one, entreat Christ for those who honor you with faith.
