Commemoration of the Holy Fathers of the Seventh Ecumenical Council
Troparion — Tone 8
Most glorious art Thou, O Christ our God, / Who hast established the Holy Fathers as luminaries on the earth. / By them Thou hast guided us on the path of the True Faith. / O Most Merciful One, glory to Thee!
Kontakion — Tone 6
The Son, Who shone forth ineffably from the Father, / was born of a woman, in two natures. / Beholding Him, we do not deny the image of His form, / but depicting it piously, we revere it with faith. / Therefore, the Church, holding the True Faith, / venerates the Icon of Christ's Incarnation.
Martyr Longinus the Centurion, who stood at the Cross of the Lord
Troparion — Tone 1
Longinus, you beheld the King of Glory / who was nailed to the Cross, yet shone on those in darkness. / You were enlightened by His rays and became a martyr / and save those who cry: / Glory to Him who gave you strength! / Glory to Him who granted you a crown! / Glory to Him who through you grants healing to all!
Kontakion — Tone 4
The Church rejoices in gladness / on the day of the commemoration of the ever-memorable athlete Longinus! / She cries out: “You are my strength and support, O Christ!”
Venerable Longinus the Gatekeeper of the Kiev Caves
Troparion — Tone 8
By a flood of tears you made the desert fertile, / and your longing for God brought forth fruits in abundance. / By the radiance of miracles you illumined the whole universe! / O our holy father Longinus, pray to Christ our God to save our souls!
Venerable Longinus of Yarenga
Troparion — Tone 8
By a flood of tears you made the desert fertile, / and your longing for God brought forth fruits in abundance. / By the radiance of miracles you illumined the whole universe! / O our holy father Longinus, pray to Christ our God to save our souls!
Martyr Longinus of Asistavi
Troparion — Tone 3
Your holy martyr Longinus, O Lord, / through his sufferings has received an incorruptible crown from You, our God. / For having Your strength, he laid low his adversaries, / and shattered the powerless boldness of demons. / Through his intercessions, save our souls!
Kontakion — Tone 2
(Podoben: “You sought the heights...”)
You appeared as a bright star announcing Christ with your radiance, / which is repulsive to this world, O Martyr Longinus; / extinguishing the allure of false gods, / you enlighten the faithful, / always interceding for us all.
Saint Eupraxia, Princess of Pskov
Troparion — Tone 8
In you the image was preserved with exactness, O Mother, / for taking up your cross, you followed after Christ. / By so doing, you taught us to disregard the flesh, for it passes away, / but to care instead for the soul, since it is immortal. / Therefore, most venerable Mother Eupraxia your spirit rejoices with the Angels.
Kontakion — Tone 2
(Podoben: “Having received the grace...“)
Because of your love of God you forsook a bed for rest, O Mother Eupraxia, / you illumined your soul with fasting, thoroughly vanquishing your enemies; / but by your intercessions destroy the evil designs of our adversaries.
Saint Domna of Tomsk
Troparion — Tone 1
Hearing the voice of Thine Apostle Paul say: “We are fools for Christ;” / Thy handmaiden Mother Domna, O Christ God, was a fool on earth for Thy sake; / therefore, honoring her memory, / we entreat Thee: “O Lord, save our souls!”
