Commemorated on April 29
Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 6
Of Your Mystical Supper, O Son of God, / accept me today as a communicant. / For I will not speak of Your mysteries to Your enemies, / neither like Judas will I give You a kiss, / but like the thief will I confess You. / Remember me, O Lord, in Your Kingdom!
Troparion — Tone 4
By Your precious blood, / You have redeemed us from the curse of the law. / By being nailed to the cross and pierced by a spear, / You have poured forth immortality for man. / O our Savior, glory to You!
Kontakion — Tone 8
Come, let us all sing the praises of Him who was crucified for us, / for Mary said when she beheld Him upon the tree: / Though You endure the cross, You are my Son and my God!
