Saint Photius, Patriarch of Constantinople - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 5
(Podoben: “Come let us worship the Word...”)
You were shown as a radiant beacon of wisdom, / and a divinely-established champion of Orthodoxy, / O great Photios, blessed adornment of the Fathers; / you refuted the innovations of boastful heresy, / O radiance of the Church, which you kept unshaken.
Troparion — Tone 4
Being of one mind with the Apostles and a teacher of the entire world, O Photios, / intercede with the Master of all / that He may grant peace to the world, and to our souls great mercy.
Kontakion — Tone 8
(Podoben: “O Victorious Leader...”)
Now let us crown the far-shining star of the Church with garlands of hymns, / the God-inspired guide of the Orthodox, the divinely-sounded harp of the Spirit, / and the steadfast adversary of heresy, / and let us cry to him: “Hail, most honored Photios.”
