Wednesday ~ Dedicated to the Honorable Cross and the Mother of God
Troparion (Tone 1)
O Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance. Strengthen our Public Authorities in every good deed, and protect your nation with your cross.
Stavrotheotokion (Tone 1)
O pure one, we have acquired your protection and have been kept from harm through your intercessions, and surrounded at all times with the grace of your Son’s cross: wherefore we all exalt you with great devotion.
Kontakion (Tone 4)
O Christ our God who chose of your own free will to be raised upon the cross, gran your mercies to your new people who are called by your name. In your power, gladden the hearts of our Public Authorities; strengthen them in every good deed so that your alliance may be for them a weapon of peace and a standard of victory.
