Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 4

Adorned with the royal purple of your virtues, / you were glorious as a hierarch and shone forth resplendently, wise Porphyrius. / You were excellent in word and deed / and you strengthen all with the grace of godliness. / As you ever serve Christ, do not cease to pray for the world.

Kontakion — Tone 2

You were adorned by your holy way of life / and were resplendent in the robe of the priesthood, all-blessed, divinely-wise Porphyrius. / You are famous for your powers of healing / and you unceasingly pray for us all.
