Venerable Tryphon, Abbot of Pechenga - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 8
You were a guide and instructor on the path which leads to life, / for at first, Venerable Father Tryphon, you came to the Norwegian land, / and then to the farthest ends of the northern lands. / You enlightened the pagans, giving birth to them by water and the Holy Spirit, / and planted your children like olive trees in the barren wilderness. / You built the great Monastery of the Holy and Life-Giving Trinity, / one in essence and indivisible, and you gathered many Monks. / Therefore, regarding you as an equal of the Apostles and of the desert dwellers, / we bow down and cry out: / “Pray to the God of all for us, and for all those who honor your memory.”
Kontakion — Tone 8
Turning all your spiritual aspiration toward God, / you steadfastly followed His call from your soul, settling in the remote wilderness; / there you lived like the Angels and Apostles, and were a path to salvation for many. / Therefore, Christ has glorified you and enriched you with the gift of miracles. / Thus, we all cry out to you: “Rejoice, O confessor of Christ our God; / rejoice, for your city is an unshakable fortress, O Tryphon our Father.”
