Saints Athanasios and Theodosios of Cherepovets, disciples of Saint Sergius of Radonezh - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 3

Let us honor the first two Russian luminaries: / Athanasios, who was sent by God, and Theodosios, the gift of God. / For they were the first to shine forth with the angelic life from the mountains of Kiev, / illuminating all the ends of our land, and showing to many the right path to Heaven; / and they were the first Fathers for monks, having brought to God the ranks of the saved; / and now, standing in Heaven before the unwaning Light of God, they pray for our souls.
