Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 4
By sharing in the ways of the Apostles, / you became a successor to their throne. / Through the practice of virtue, you found the way to divine contemplation, O inspired one of God; / by teaching the word of truth without error, you defended the Faith, / even to the shedding of your blood. / Hieromartyr Ignatius, entreat Christ God to save our souls.
Kontakion — Tone 4
Today you rose from the east, / enlightening all of creation with your teachings, / and you are crowned with martyrdom, God-bearing Ignatius.
