Repose of the New-Hieromartyr Cosmas of Aitolia, Equal of the Apostles - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 3
(Podoben: “The Divine Faith...”)
By teaching the Divine Faith, / you richly adorned the Church / and became a zealous emulator of the Apostles; / for being lifted up on the wings of divine love, / you spread the message of the Gospel far and wide. / O glorious Cosmas, / entreat Christ God that He may grant us great mercy.
Troparion — Tone 4
Let us gather to acclaim the renowned Cosmas with odes, / who excelled gloriously among the choirs of the Martyrs, Priests, and Ascetics; / for he dispenses healing to those who have recourse to him with faith, / since, as an equal of the Apostles, / he has boldness before Christ.
Kontakion — Tone 4
(Podoben: “You appeared today...”)
As a newly-shining luminary of the Church, / you enlighten all things with the teachings of Christ's Gospel, O Cosmas, equal of the Apostles; / therefore your memory is worthy to be honored.
Kontakion — Tone 3
(Podoben: “Today the Virgin...”)
Having lived an irreproachable life on Athos, like Moses, / you were deemed worthy of God's manifestation; / therefore you truly gladden the Church exceedingly by your deeds and your divinely-inspired words, / O Father Cosmas, having contended for them, / you were adorned with a double crown.
