Venerable Savva the Sanctified - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 8
With the streams of your tears you cultivated the barrenness of the desert; / and by your sighs from the depths, you bore fruit a hundredfold in your labors. / You became a luminary, shining upon the world with miracles. / O our righteous Father Savva, intercede with Christ God that our souls be saved.
Kontakion — Tone 8
(Podoben: “O Victorious Leader...”)
From your youth you were offered to God as an unblemished1 sacrifice because of your virtue, / having been dedicated to Him before your birth, O blessed Savva. / You were an adornment of monastics and a praiseworthy citizen of the desert. / Therefore, we cry to you: “Hail, greatly renowned Father.”
