Venerable Alypios, Iconographer of the Kiev Near Caves - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 8
Depicting the faces of the Saints on boards as a skillful artist, / you wrote their good deeds diligently on the tablets of your heart, / and therefore, like an icon, you were beautifully adorned with the grace of the priesthood as with a golden oklad, / by Christ God, the Savior of our souls, O Alypios praised by all.
Kontakion — Tone 2
From a young age, you strove toward God, / and you were given over to the study of iconography, / and when you painted the heavenly church of the Theotokos, / and contributed to its adornment, / you beheld the radiance of the Holy Spirit and received the power to work miracles; / therefore, since your icons are miraculous, we honor and glorify you, O wondrous Alypios.
