Hieromartyr Hermogenes, Patriarch of Moscow, Wonderworker of All Russia - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 4

You were the First Hierarch of the Russian land and a tireless intercessor before God. / By laying down your life for the faith of Christ and for your flock, you delivered your land from lawlessness. / Therefore we cry out to you: “Preserve us by your prayers, O Hieromartyr ErmogĂ©nes, our Father.”

Kontakion — Tone 6

Exhausted by imprisonment and starvation, you remained faithful until death, O Blessed ErmogĂ©nes, / dispelling cowardice from the hearts of your people and calling all of them to a common struggle. / In this way, you suppressed the rebellion of the wicked, and you strengthened your land as well, / so that all of us may cry out to you: “Rejoice, intercessor for the Russian land.”
