Saint Luke, Archbishop of Simferopol - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 1

Herald of the path of salvation, Confessor and Archpastor of the Crimean Land, / True Guardian of Patristic Tradition, unshakable pillar, teacher of Orthodoxy, / divinely-wise physician, and Hierarch Luke, / pray unceasingly to Christ the Savior to grant unshakable faith to the Orthodox, salvation, and great mercy.

Kontakion — Tone 1

Like a star shining with light, O Hierarch, you shone with virtues, / and you led a blameless life, like the Angels; / therefore, you were honored with the rank of a Bishop, / but suffered much persecution from the atheists, / yet you remained unshakable in your faith, / healing many with your medical wisdom. / Therefore, your revered relics were found in the bowels of the earth, / and the Lord has glorified you, so that all the faithful may cry out to you: / "Rejoice, Father and Hierarch Luke, / the boast and bulwark of the Crimean land."
