Posted by Hello

ICON OF THE MOTHER OF GOD OF THE BURNING BUSH
HOLY PROPHET MOSES THE LAW-GIVER AND SEER OF GOD
BABYLAS, BISHOP OF ANTIOCH, HIEROMARTYR

Troparion of the Mother of God Tone 1
The miracle that Moses saw on Sinai in the burning bush/ foretold thy Virgin Childbearing, O pure Virgin./ We faithful cry to thee: Rejoice truly living bush,/ rejoice holy mountain,/ rejoice sanctified place,/ most holy Mother of God.

Troparion of the Prophet Moses Tone 2
Thou didst ascend to the summit of virtues,/ O holy Prophet Moses./ Thou wast granted to see the glory of God,/ to receive the tablets of the Law,/ and to bear grace within thee./ Thou wast the joy of the Prophets/ and a guide to piety.

Troparion of Hieromartyr Babylas Tone 4
O Babylas husbandman of righteousness,/ thou didst cut down the thorns of error./ With the radiance of thy priesthood and reddened by the streams of thy blood/ thou wast presented to Christ crying out:/ Here am I and Thy children O Jesus: graciously receive us.

Kontakion of the Prophet Moses Tone 2
The company of the Prophets rejoices with Moses and Aaron;/ their prophecy is fulfilled/ as the Cross whereby Thou hast saved us shines forth./ Save our souls by their prayers, O Christ our God.

Kontakion of Hieromartyr Babylas Tone 4
Thou didst treasure in thine heart the mysteries of the faith/ without fearing the tyrant/ O Hieromartyr Babylas, servant of Christ, preserve us.
