COMMEMORATION OF THE DEPOSITION OF OUR FATHER AMONG THE SAINTS SWITHUN, BISHOP OF WINCHESTER


Troparion of the holy bishop, in Tone IV

The grace of God manifestly revealed thee to thy flock as a teacher of compunction, a model of meekness and a champion of piety; for by thy surpassing humility thou didst attain the summit of holiness, and for thy manifold virtues thou hast received a crown on high. O holy bishop Swithun our father, entreat Christ God, that He save those who honour thy memory with love.


Kontakion of the holy bishop, in Tone II

With hymns the Church glorifieth thee, O Swithun most great, as the adornment of bishops and a model of all the virtues. Since thou hast acquired great boldness with the Lord Most High, in thine entreaties beseech Him earnestly to grant speedy deliverance from every tribulation and peril unto those who lovingly honour thy sacred memory.

Ikos: Throughout the Christian world hath the fame of the wondrous Swithun spread, so that the pious of many and divers nations avail themselves of his great boldness before the King of kings; for by the power of the Holy Spirit which rested in him he gave speech to the mute, hearing to the deaf, made withered limbs whole and restored the paralysed, and he granteth speedy deliverance from every tribulation and peril unto those who lovingly honour his sacred memory.
