Glorification of the Priestmartyr Alexander Hotovitzky

In a time of fiery temptations for the Church of Russia, / you manifested Christ’s love to your flock through meekness and humility. / As a good pastor you laid down your life for Him. / Pray for us, Hieromartyr Alexander, that our souls may be illumined!

Hieromartyr Alexander, / you bore labors and illness upon your shoulders, / and joyfully took the narrow path of suffering for Christ, / through which you attained the heavenly Kingdom. / Entreat God the Savior to grant us mercy on the Day of Judgment!

(Podoben: “Come, let us worship the Word…”)
Let us honor Saint Barbara, for she broke the snares of the Enemy, and like a bird, escaped from them by the help and weapon of the most Honorable Cross.

O most blessed Lamb Barbara, divinely illuminated by the light of the Three-sunned Trinity, you were strengthened in the font of Baptism, vanquishing the delusions of your ancestors, you confessed your faith in Christ. Therefore, revered by all, God gave you grace from above to heal diseases and every infirmity. Pray to Him, O Great Martyr, that He may save our souls.

(Podoben: “You were lifted up…”)
By devoutly following Him Who is praised in Trinity, O revered Passion-Bearer, you forsook the shrines of the idols, and contested in the midst of the arena, O Barbara, not cowering before the tyrants' threats, you cried out in a loud voice: “I worship the Trinity in one Godhead.”

Let us sing praises to John, worthy of great honor, / the composer of hymns, the star and teacher of the Church, the defender of her doctrines: / through the might of the Lord’s Cross he overcame heretical error / and as a fervent intercessor before God / he entreats that forgiveness of sins may be granted to all.
