St. Demetrios the Myrrhgusher of Thessaloniki



Troparion - Tone 3

The world has found you to be a great defense against tribulation
and a vanquisher of heathens, O Passion-bearer.
As you bolstered the courage of Nestor,
who then humbled the arrogance of Lyaios in battle,
Holy Demetrius, entreat Christ God to grant us great mercy.


Kontakion - Tone 2

God, who has given you invincible might,
has tinged the Church with streams of your blood, Demetrius!
He preserves your city from harm,
for you are its foundation!
