Saint Joseph, and his companions, of Damascus - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 5

O faithful, let us honor the martyr of Christ, / the priest of the Church of Antioch, / who baptized the land, the churches, and the people of Syria, / in the word of the Lord, / in his blood and in the blood of his companions. / Being baptized, since his youth, by the light of the Gospel, / he labored, taught and kept the Church of Christ with her sheep. / Therefore, O Joseph the Damascene, / be our example and our protector / and our fervent intercessor with the Savior.
