Troparia and Kontakia to Saint Igor of Chernigov and Kiev

Troparion, Tone 4

Today has come the most honorable commemoration of the passion-bearer, / the right-believing Prince Igor, / calling the people to the most honorable temple of the Savior, / where a multitude of the devout, joyfully assembled, / celebrates your holy memory in prayer / and cries to you with faith: / Pray, O holy one, / that the land of Russia, the city of Chernigov, and all Orthodox Christians / may attain salvation in peace and well-being.

Another Troparion, in the Same Tone

Enlightened by divine baptism / and illumined by the light of the Holy Spirit, / you received the Gospel of Christ into your heart, / fulfilling in deed the word of the Son of God, / O right-believing Prince Igor. / Pray to our all-good Savior / to grant us, who honor your precious memory, / peace and mercy / and the salvation of our souls.

Kontakion, Tone 6

You exchanged the glory of earthly princedom / for the humble monastic habit, / and, having ended your earthly life in suffering, / you now rejoice in heaven, / praying earnestly for those who honor you, / O Igor, boast of those who suffer for Christ.

Another Kontakion, Tone 8

You dyed your princely diadem with your blood, / O divinely wise passion-bearer Igor. / Taking the cross in your hand instead of a scepter, you became victorious / and offered yourself as a blameless sacrifice to the Master. / For, like an innocent lamb, you were slain by servants, / and now you stand rejoicing before the Holy Trinity. / Pray that our souls may be saved.
