The Third Day of the Month of May

Menologion

Troparion of St. Theodosius Tone 8

From thy youth on wings of virtue thou didst speed on thy monastic way and attain to thy desire./ Thou didst settle in a cave and live radiantly fasting, persevering in prayer like the Bodiless Ones./ Thou didst illumine Russia as a shining lamp./ O Father Theodosius, pray to Christ our God that our souls may be saved.

Troparion of Ss Timothy and Maura Tone 4

Let us the faithful honour Timothy/ with Maura his faithful fellow-athlete, the bride of Christ,/ and let us praise their bold endurance;/ for being crucified they lovingly followed Him Who was slain/ and Who has nailed all our sins to the Cross.

Kontakion of St. Theodosius Tone 3

Today we venerate the star of Russia, blessed Theodosius,/ who has shone from the east to the west;/ he has enriched his whole land/ with miracles and blessings/ and has established there the monastic life.

Kontakion of Ss Timothy and Maura Tone 4

Having endured many wounds and receiving crowns from God,/ O great Timothy and glorious Maura,/ pray to God for us who celebrate your memory,/ that He may grant peace to His flock and people;/ for He is the strength of the faithful.
