Venerable Ephraim, Abbot of Perekop, Wonderworker of Novgorod - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 4

From your youth you submitted to God completely, O Blessed One, / and for the sake of His love you forsook your homeland and relatives, and settled in the wilderness; / there you lived an austere life, / and received the gift of miracles from God. / O Venerable Ephraim, entreat Christ God that He may save our souls.

Kontakion — Tone 8

Desiring the angelic life, O venerable one, / you forsook all earthly things, and came unto Christ; / by keeping His commandments, you were an unshakable fortress against the attacks of the Enemy. / Therefore we cry out to you: “Rejoice, Ephraim, most radiant luminary.”
