The Hieromartyr Charalampus
Commemorated February 10
Troparion Tone 4
In his suffering, O Lord,
Thy martyr Charalampus received an imperishable crown from Thee our God;
for, possessed of Thy might,
he set at nought the tormentors and crushed the feeble audacity of the demons.
By his supplications save Thou our souls.
Kontakion
Perfected by the grace of the priesthood, O glorious one,
thou didst splendidly adorn the Church with thy divine suffering,
which, rejoicing, thou didst manfully accept for Christ’s sake,
O Charalampus, thou honored beacon of the whole world,
illumining the ends of the earth, in that thou art invincible.
