Recovery of the relics of Saint Job of Pochaev
Troparion — Tone 4
Taking the yoke of Christ upon yourself1 from your youth, O Venerable Father Job, / for many years you contested in the field of piety at Ugornitsky Monastery on the island of Dubensk; / and arriving at Pochaev Mountain, marked by the healing footprint of the Most Holy Theotokos, / you often enclosed yourself in a narrow rock cave, for the sake of divine contemplation and prayers. / Strengthened by the grace of God, / you labored courageously for the good of Christ's Church and of your community, / against the enemies of Orthodoxy, and for Christian piety, / as well as instructing a multitude of monks, / whom you brought as victors to our Master and God. / Entreat Him that our souls may be saved.
1 Matthew 11:29-30.Kontakion — Tone 8
The imperishable treasure of your relics hidden under the ground have shone forth, O God-pleaser, / for you lived piously with faith in Christ our God, you attained the perfection of virtue, / and forsaking the pleasures of this temporal life in the cave of Pochaev Mountain by fasting, prayers and holy contests, and because of these your body withered. / Now, having passed to God in peaceful and eternal rest, / you pray for all who come to you with faith. / Rejoice, all-praised Job, the God-pleaser and adornment of Pochaev Monastery.
