Venerable Pelagia the Penitent - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 4
(Podoben: “You were lifted up on the Cross...”)
Like a fragrant rose growing among thorns, / you were revealed to the Church by your virtuous deeds / becoming a source of joy for the faithful. / You offered your life as a sweet-smelling fragrance / to Him who made you wondrous. / Entreat Him to deliver us from every passion of soul and body, / O righteous Pelagia.
Kontakion — Tone 2
(Podoben: “You sought the heights...”)
You exhausted your body through fasting, vigils, and prayer / earnestly entreating the Creator that you might receive complete forgiveness for your former deeds. / Truly, you received this, O Mother Pelagia, / thereby showing us the way to repentance.
