Great Martyr Theodore the Tyro (Recruit) - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 2
Great are the accomplishments of faith, / for the Holy Martyr Theodore rejoiced in the fount of flames as though at the waters of rest;1 / for having been made a whole burnt offering in the fire / , he was offered as a sweet bread to the Trinity. / By his entreaties, O Christ God, save our souls!
Kontakion — Tone 8
(Original melody)
Having received the faith of Christ in your heart as a breastplate, / you trampled upon inimical forces, O much-suffering champion, / and you have been crowned eternally with a heavenly crown, as one invincible.
1 Psalm 22/23:2
