Saint Alexander, Patriarch of Constantinople - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 4
O God of our Fathers, / always act with kindness towards us; / take not Your mercy from us, / but guide our lives in peace / through the prayers of the Patriarchs Alexander, John, and Paul.
Troparion — Tone 4
(Podoben: "Go quickly before us...")
Christ, the God over all,1 / has appointed you as a venerable shepherd of His Church, O Godly-wise Alexander, / a light upon the lampstand,2 a faithful steward, / and the most holy example of a pillar of Orthodoxy. / Therefore, we keep festival in your memory.
1 Ephesians 4:6
2 Matthew 5:15
Kontakion — Tone 8
Set aflame by the love of Christ, O glorious ones, / you took up the yoke of His precious Cross revealing yourselves as followers in His footsteps by your way of life, / and you became partakers of His divine glory, / divinely-wise Alexander, with wonderful John and glorious Paul. / As you stand before His throne, earnestly pray for our souls.
Kontakion — Tone 8
With your flock, as one who was delivered from the ungodly, / I bring tokens of victory and thanksgiving to you, O invincible valiant hierarch, / for you overcame the foolish Arius, and silenced the arrogant philosopher. / Therefore, I say to you: Rejoice, thrice-happy Father.
