Troparia and kontakia for April 28

Antipascha: Saint Thomas Sunday

Troparion — Tone 7

From the sealed tomb, You did shine forth O Life! / Through closed doors You did come to Your disciples, O Christ God! / Renew in us, through them, an upright spirit, / by the greatness of Your mercy, O Resurrection of all!

Kontakion — Tone 8

Thomas touched Your life-giving side with an eager hand, O Christ God, / when You did come to Your apostles through closed doors. / He cried out with all: You are my Lord and my God!

Apostles Jason and Sosipater of the Seventy, the Virgin Kerkyra, and those with them

Troparion — Tone 3

O holy Apostles Jason and Sosipater, / pray to the merciful God, / that He may grant to our souls / remission of our transgressions.

Kontakion — Tone 2

O Jason, source of healing, / and Sosipater, glory of the martyrs of Christ: / You were enlightened by the preaching of Paul, / both becoming a great consolation to the world through your miracles. / Thrice-holy and God-bearing Apostles and defenders of those who suffer, / intercede with Christ God that He may save our souls.

Martyrs Dada, Maximus, and Quinctilian, at Dorostolum

Troparion — Tone 4

Your holy martyrs Dada, Maximus, and Quinctilian, O Lord, / through their sufferings have received incorruptible crowns from You, our God. / For having Your strength, they laid low their adversaries, / and shattered the powerless boldness of demons. / Through their intercessions, save our souls!

Saint Cyril, Bishop of Turov

Troparion — Tone 4

In truth you were revealed to your flock as a rule of faith, / an image of humility and a teacher of abstinence; / your humility exalted you; / your poverty enriched you. / Hierarch Father Cyril, / entreat Christ our God / that our souls may be saved.
