Saint Porphyrius, Bishop of Gaza - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 4

Who can tell of your labors and illnesses leading to godly devotion, O Father? / For you labored incessantly day and night, cleansing Gaza of its wickedness, / and planting piety; / therefore, as the protector of your flock, O Porphyrios, / entreat Christ God for the salvation of our souls.

Troparion — Tone 4

Adorned with the royal purple of your virtues, / you were glorious as a hierarch and shone forth resplendently, O wise Porphyrios. / You were excellent in word and deed / strengthening all with the grace of godliness. / Since you always serve Christ, do not cease to pray for the world.

Kontakion — Tone 2

[Podoben: “With the streams of your blood...” (See the Kontakion for the Great Martyr Demetrios)]
Adorned with a most holy disposition, / you were resplendent in the vesture of the priesthood, O most blessed and godly-minded Porphyrios, / and you are renowned for your miracles of healing, / ceaselessly interceding for all of us.
