The Raising of Lazarus (Lazarus Saturday)
Troparion — Tone 1
By raising Lazarus from the dead before Your passion, / You did confirm the universal Resurrection, O Christ God! / Like the children with the palms of victory, / we cry out to You, O Vanquisher of death: / Hosanna in the Highest! / Blessed is He that comes in the Name of the Lord!
Kontakion — Tone 2
Christ the Joy, the Truth and the Light of all, / the Life of the World and the Resurrection / has appeared in His goodness, to those on earth. / He has become the Image of our Resurrection, / granting divine forgiveness to all!
Hieromartyr Artemon of Laodikeia
Troparion — Tone 4
By sharing in the ways of the Apostles, / you became a successor to their throne. / Through the practice of virtue, you found the way to divine contemplation, O inspired one of God; / by teaching the word of truth without error, you defended the Faith, / even to the shedding of your blood. / Hieromartyr Artemon, entreat Christ God to save our souls.
Kontakion — Tone 4
Made worthy of a sacred confession, / and completing your life as a martyr, / you were translated to heaven, / receiving from God an unfading crown. / Therefore we celebrate your holy memory, calling out: / Remember us, as you stand before Christ, / O wise Hieromartyr Artemon.
Martyr Crescens of Myra in Lycia
Troparion — Tone 3
Your holy martyr Crescens, O Lord, / through his suffering 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 Crescens; / extinguishing the allure of false gods, / you enlighten the faithful, / always interceding for us all.
Martyr Thomais of Alexandria
Troparion — Tone 3
