For the Martyr Andrea of Rome in Trebizond
Troparion (Tone 4)
O Holy Martyr Andrea,
You gave your life for the sake of your Church,
As another Nicholas you defended the poor from dishonor,
And in the Church of the Lord you received your crown.
You turned your back on your persecutors,
Because your eyes were fixed upon the Lord.
Pray that our souls be saved.Kontakion (Tone 4)
Let us praise the holy Martyr Andrea
For by the witness of his life Christ our God has shown forth,
He went to a distant land to protect the poor,
And preached our Lord Christ to those who but knew Him in part,
Let us cry to him: —Rejoice in Christ God, O glory of martyrs.—
