Saint Gurias, Archbishop of Kazan - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 3

Because of your virtuous and noble life, the most generous God raised you to the throne of the God-saved kingdom of Kazan / and enlightened the Tatar people by your teachings, O Saint Gurίas. / You brought many to Christ's chosen flock, and lived a godly life, giving aid to the poor; / and after your glorification, your body, which lay hidden for many years, wondrously appeared from the depths of the earth, / and your coffin was filled with fragrant myrrh for all those who come with faith to receive this myrrh at the shrine of your revered relics, / which pour forth healing for all. / O Holy Hierarch Gurίas, pray to Christ God for the salvation of our souls.
