Venerable Elias of Murom, Wonderworker of the Kiev Near Caves - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 4

Come, all ye faithful, let us honor our Venerable Father Elias of Murom with spiritual songs, / the lamp of the Monastery of the Caves, and great intercessor for all Russia, / who has shown us the image of military and spiritual feats, / and who now shines with miracles of grace. / In the same way, flocking to the shrine of his relics, / we kiss them and cry out with love: / “Entreat Christ God to preserve our land / and to grant us great mercy.”

Troparion — Tone 3

Today the Russian land rejoices, / glorifying its warrior and wonderworker Elias of Muromets, / for he abides in the Church Triumphant, / and is its kinsman in the Church Militant, / asking the Lord for help against the visible and invisible enemies of Holy Russia, / so that the Russian people may glorify and honor Christ God without hindrance.

Kontakion — Tone 8

As a great luminary of the Russian land, / you appeared as an invincible commander of the Heavenly King, / and divinely inspired adornment of monastics. / And now, standing with the Angels before the Throne of God, / entreat the Master Christ, the Creator of all, / that we may be delivered from all troubles and sorrows, / that those who honor your holy memory may cry to you: “Rejoice, Venerable Elias, our Father.”
