"You were made worthy of the joy and rejoicing of the Angels..."

St. Tryphon the Great Martyr and Unmercenary (source)


You were made worthy of the joy and rejoicing of the Angels, O all-blessed Tryphon, having denied the joys of this life, and through steadfastness of soul, you counted all [worldly] things as nothing, and with endurance, proceeded to Martyrdom, and you ever intercede on behalf of our souls.
-Prosomoion of the Stichera for the feast of St. Tryphon

Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us! Amen!
