May 14, - Commemoration of the Holy Martyr Isidore of Chio 
 




Troparion - Tone 4

Enlisted by the King of the Ages, you spurned the earthly king and his army to boldly preach Christ our God. Therefore, you have completed your contest and shine forth as His glorious martyr. Entreat Him to save our souls, for we honor you, blest Isidore.

Kondakion - Tone 3

In your combat with the dragon, You gained the victory, O martyr Isidore. As a radiant beacon from Egypt, You shone forth to illumine all under the sun, advancing towards Him who shone forth from the Virgin Mother of God, for whose sake you were slain, O Passion-Bearer, offering yourself as a fragrant sacrifice.

Kondakion - Tone 4

You have been revealed as a great guide to the world through your prayers, O holy one. Therefore, we praise you today, divinely-wise martyr, glorious Isidore.
