The Fourteenth Day of the Month of January

Menologion

Troparion of the Feast Tone 1

When Thou wast baptized in the Jordan, O Lord,/ the worship of the Trinity made its appearance./ For the voice of the Father bore witness to Thee/ when He called Thee His beloved Son./ And the Spirit in the form of a dove/ confirmed the truth of the word./ O Christ our God, Who hast appeared and hast enlightened the world,/ glory to Thee!

Troparion of St. Sabbas of Serbia Tone 3

Thou wast a guide to the Way of Life,/ a first Hierarch and a teacher;/ thou didst come and enlighten thy home country, O Sabbas,/ and give it rebirth by the Holy Spirit./ Thou hast planted thy children like olive trees in the spiritual Paradise./ O Equal-to-the-Apostles and Saints,/ pray to Christ our God to grant us His great mercy.

Troparion of St. Nina, Equal-To-The-Apostles Tone 4

O handmaid of the Word of God,/ who in preaching equaled the first-called Apostle Andrew,/ and emulated the other Apostles,/ enlightener of Iberia and reed-pipe of the Holy Spirit,/ holy Nina, pray to Christ our God to save our souls.

Troparion of St. Kentigern Mungo Tone 4

Thy name, most radiant ascetic and wonderworker,/ all praised and great Father Kentigern Mungo,/ which means ''dear friend'',/ is godly sweetness to our wretched ears./ Thus named by thy tutor who foresaw thy missionary service/ thou wast the truest friend and pastor to the Britons of Strathclyde./ Wherefore, O Saint, befriend us in this hour of need/ that we may labour for Christ, as He wills,/ and thereby be found worthy of His great mercy.

Kontakion of the Feast Tone 4

Thou hast appeared today to the world,/ and Thy light, O Lord, has been signed upon us/ who with full knowledge sing to Thee./ Thou hast come, Thou hast appeared,/ O Unapproachable Light.

Kontakion of St. Sabbas of Serbia Tone 8

Thou art glorified as a great Hierarch and companion of the Apostles;/ and as thou hast boldness towards Christ God save us by thy prayers,/ that we may cry: Rejoice, O wise Father Sabbas.

Kontakion of St. Nina Tone 2

Let us sing praises to the chosen of Christ,/ Equal-to-the-Apostles and preacher of God's word,/ the bearer of good tidings who brought the people of Katralina/ to the path of life and truth,/ the disciple of the Mother of God,/ our zealous intercessor and unwearing guardian,/ the most praised Nina.

Kontakion of St. Kentigern Mungo Tone 6

Thou didst exchange thy staff with thy own dear friend and Iona's Founder,/ O great Kentigern Mungo./ Severe in thy asceticism,/ thou who didst risk thy life traveling on foot/ and who didst sing psalms at night rather than give up the body to sleep,/ didst find taking a bath to be fatal./ Pray that we, who keep festival in thy honour/ may always put the things of the spirit before the things of the body.
