New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia.
Troparion - Tone 4 Today the Church of Russia joyfully forms a chorus,
praising her new martyrs and confessors;
hierarchs and priests, royal passion-bearers, right-believing princes and princesses,
venerable men and women, and all Orthodox Christians.
Having laid down their life for faith in Christ during the days of godless persecution,
they preserved the truth by the shedding of blood. //
By their protection, O long-suffering Lord,
preserve our land in Orthodoxy till the end of the age.
Kontakion - Tone 3 Today the new martyrs of Rus’ stand in white robes before the Lamb of God,
and with the angels they sing to God the hymn of victory:
“Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and praise, and honor,
and power, and strength be to our God //
unto the ages of ages. Amen.”
