Saint Germanus, Bishop of Paris - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 7

Holy Germanus, as bishop of Paris you remained the monk you always were, / cherishing the beauty of the Liturgy and developing the cult of the saints. / Your miracles merited your veneration by young and old alike. / It was thus that you exercised a happy influence over the powerful, / and prevailed on them to free slaves and release prisoners. / And in the name of Christ, in the Church of Gaul you made concord and peace to reign.

Troparion — Tone 8

Let us celebrate the father of the poor, the treasure of the needy, / the master of wisdom of kings and powerful men, / the unifier of the Church of Gaul, the unmercenary healer of all illnesses: / Saint Germanus, the founder of the abbey that still bears his name, / the crafter of peace, the exemplary pastor of Paris: / for he intercedes for our souls before Christ our God.
