Venerable Barlaam, Abbot of Khutyn, Novgorod - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 3

Exhausting your body by sleeping on the earth, praying, and keeping vigil, O Venerable one, / you dispelled all carnal thoughts / and become a copious stream of healing for those who come to you with faith; / O Barlaam, our Father, / pray to Christ God for the salvation of our souls.

Kontakion — Tone 8

As a second Elijah, O Father, you brought down rain from the heavens, / for he brought down fire and astonished the king, / but you pleased your people and instituted a festival. / Great Novgorod takes pride in you, having your relics in itself, / preserving it unshaken by enemies, so that we may cry out to you: / “Rejoice, Venerable Barlaam, our Father.”
