Hieromartyr Athanasios, Venerable Anthousa, and others - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 4
HIEROMARTYR ATHANASIOS
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 divinely-inspired one; by rightly dividing the word of truth without error, you defended the Faith, / even to the shedding of your blood. / O Hieromartyr Athanasios, entreat Christ God to save our souls.
Troparion — Tone 8
VENERABLE ANTHOUSA
(Podoben: “Come, let us worship the Word...”)
With the streams of your tears, you cultivated the barrenness of the desert, / and by your sighings from the depths, your labors bore fruit a hundredfold, / and you became a luminary of the world, radiant with miracles, / O Venerable Mother Anthousa, intercede with Christ God that our souls may be saved.
Kontakion — Tone 4
HIEROMARTYR ATHANASIOS
(Podoben: “You were lifted up...”)
As one who lived piously among Hierarchs and who underwent martyrdom, O divinely-wise one, / you abolished the sacrifices of idolatry and showed yourself to be a protector of your flock. / Therefore, we cry fervently to you: / “By your intercessions, deliver us from all misfortunes, / O Athanasios, our Father.”
Kontakion — Tone 2
VENERABLE ANTHOUSA
(Podoben: “You sought the heights...”)
Having divinely armed yourself with purity of soul / and firmly grasping unceasing prayer as a spear, you slew the hordes of demons. / Therefore, we beseech you, O Venerable Mother Anthousa): / “Always intercede for those who honor you.”
