Martyr Athanasius, Abbot of Bretsk - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 2

Blessed are you, our Father Athanasios, / for you lived by faith, standing vigilantly for the holy Orthodox Faith, / always singing the Akathist Hymn to the Most Pure one with humility, / ordering everyone not to profane the holy Orthodox Faith, you testified to its truth, suffering even unto death. / Honoring your holiness, we cry out to you with boldness: / "O Hieromartyr Athanasios our Father, you are our boast and adornment."

Kontakion — Tone 4

By your life, Athanasios, you were revealed as an ornament of the monastic life and adornment of the martyrs; / and as a most radiant sun you shone forth on the Orthodox people. / Therefore, Christ has enriched you with the gift of working miracles, / so that honoring your memory, we may call out to you: / "Remember your flock in your prayers, O Venerable one."
