Menologion

Troparion of St. Athanasius the Great Tone 3

O Hierarch Athanasius, thou wast a pillar of Orthodoxy/ supporting the Church with divine doctrines;/ for thou didst proclaim the Son to be of one essence with the Father,/ and didst put Arius to shame./ O righteous Father, entreat Christ our God to grant us His great mercy.

Troparion of Ss Boris and Gleb Tone 2

O Passion-bearers and fulfillers of the Gospel of Christ,/ chaste Boris and guileless Gleb:/ you did not oppose the attacks of the enemy, your brother,/ when he killed your bodies but could not touch your souls./ Let him therefore mourn while you rejoice with the Angels/ standing before the Holy Trinity./ Pray that those who honour your memory may find grace with God/ and that all Orthodox people may be saved.

Troparion of St. Gluvias Tone 2

O glorious Father Gluvias,/ thou didst bring the light of Christ to Cornwall/ while thy brother holy Cadoc enlightened Wales./ As thou dost intercede for all mankind,/ pray to Christ our God to grant us His great mercy.

Kontakion of St. Athanasius the Great Tone 2

Thou didst plant the dogmas of Orthodoxy/ and cut out the thorns of false doctrine;/ thou didst water the seeds of Faith with the rain of the Spirit, O righteous Father./ Therefore we call thee blessed.

Kontakion of Ss Boris and Gleb Tone 3

Today your memory shines forth, noble sufferers,/ and summons us to glorify Christ our God./ Those who come to the shrine of your relics/ receive healing through your prayers,/

  • for you are holy physicians.
