The 22nd Day of the MONTH OF JANUARY

HOLY MARTYR ALEXANDER OF MUNICH

Troparion Tone 4

Today a light adorns our city,/ having within it thy holy relics, O Holy Martyr Alexander;/ for which sake pray to Christ God/ that He deliver us from all tribulations,/ for gathered together in love we celebrate thy radiant memory/ imitating thy bravery,// standing against the godless powers and enemies.

Kontakion Tone 4

From thy mother thou didst inherit the love of Christ,/ and through the love of thy care-giver thou wast nourished in the fear of God, O all-glorious one,/ to Whom thou didst give thyself, O all-honourable Alexander,/ and thou dost diligently pray with the angels.// Beseech on behalf of all who honour thy memory forgiveness of their sins.

Magnification

We magnify thee, O Holy Passion-bearer Alexander; and we honour thy holy sufferings, which thou hast endured for the sake of Christ.
