The Recovery of the Relics of Saint Theodore of Sanaxar - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 4

From your youth you loved Christ with filial love, / and desiring to serve only the Lord, / you have chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away by death.1 / You devoted yourself to the one thing needful, and to the Giver of Life, / and you were found worthy to receive from Him the gifts of divine teaching and spiritual discernment, / guiding all who have recourse to you, seeking the salvation of their souls, / O divinely-wise Elder Theodore of Sanaxar.


1 Luke 10:42.
