Venerable Ananias the Iconographer
Troparion — Tone 8
In you, O Father, was preserved with exactness what was according to the image; / for you took up the Cross and followed Christ. / By so doing, you taught us to disregard the flesh, for it passes away; / but to care for the soul, since it is immortal. / Therefore, O Venerable Ananias, your spirit rejoices with the Angels.
Kontakion — Tone 2
(Podoben: “You sought the heights...”)
Having divinely armed yourself with purity of soul / and firmly grasping unceasing prayer as a spear, you slew the hordes of demons. / Therefore, we beseech you, O Father Ananias: / “Always intercede for those who honor you.”
