Great and Holy Wednesday
Troparion — Tone 8
Behold the Bridegroom comes at midnight, / and blessed is the servant whom He shall find watching, / and again unworthy is the servant whom He shall find heedless. / Beware, therefore, O my soul, do not be weighed down with sleep, / lest you be given up to death and lest you be shut out of the Kingdom. / But rouse yourself crying: Holy, Holy, Holy, are You, O our God! / Through the Theotokos have mercy on us!
Kontakion — Tone 4
Though I have transgressed more than the harlot, O Good One, / I have not offered You a flood of tears, but in silence I fall down before You. / With love I embrace Your most Pure feet. / As Master, grant me remission of sins, when I cry to You, O Savior: / “Deliver me from the filth of my evil deeds.”
Apostles Jason and Sosipater of the Seventy, the Virgin Kerkyra, and those with them
Troparion — Tone 3
O holy Apostles Jason and Sosipater, / pray to the merciful God, / that He may grant to our souls / remission of our transgressions.
Kontakion — Tone 2
O Jason, source of healing, / and Sosipater, glory of the martyrs of Christ: / You were enlightened by the preaching of Paul, / both becoming a great consolation to the world through your miracles. / Thrice-holy and God-bearing Apostles and defenders of those who suffer, / intercede with Christ God that He may save our souls.
Martyrs Dada, Maximus, and Quinctilian, at Dorostolum
Troparion — Tone 4
Your holy martyrs Dada, Maximus, and Quinctilian, O Lord, / through their sufferings have received incorruptible crowns from You, our God. / For having Your strength, they laid low their adversaries, / and shattered the powerless boldness of demons. / Through their intercessions, save our souls!
Saint Cyril, Bishop of Turov
Troparion — Tone 4
In truth you were revealed to your flock as a rule of faith, / an image of humility and a teacher of abstinence; / your humility exalted you; / your poverty enriched you. / Hierarch Father Cyril, / entreat Christ our God / that our souls may be saved.
