Dedication of the Church of the Greatmartyr George in Lydia

Kontakion - Tone 8

As we the faithful flee to you for refuge
and seek your protection and speedy help,
we entreat you, O Champion of Christ,
that we who sing your praises may be delivered from the snares of the enemy
and from every peril and adversary,
that we may cry, "Rejoice, O martyr George!"

Troparion - Tone 4

O liberator of captives,
defender of the poor,
physician of the sick, and champion of kings,
trophy-bearer, great martyr George,
intercede with Christ God that our souls may be saved.
