Troparion for TRANSFIGURATION of OUR LORD — Tone 7
You were Transfigured on the Mount, O Christ God, / revealing Your glory to Your disciples as far as they could bear it. / Let Your everlasting Light shine upon us sinners! / Through the prayers of the Theotokos, O Giver of Light, glory to You!
Kontakion for TRANSFIGURATION of OUR LORD — Tone 7
On the Mountain You were Transfigured, O Christ God, / and Your disciples beheld Your glory as far as they could see it; / so that when they would behold You crucified, / they would understand that Your suffering was voluntary, / and would proclaim to the world, / that You are truly the Radiance of the Father!
Martyr LAURENTIUS of Antioch Chief of the seven deacons of Rome (259) roasted like a fish ― cooked to death on a gridiron
Troparion of archdeacon LAURENTIUS — Tone 4
Victorious martyr of Christ our God, / by the sign of the Cross you gave sight to the blind; / you distributed the riches of the Church to the poor; / you were tried by fire and no evil was found in you. / As you endured the burning, / may your prayers extinguish the flames of our many sins, / blessed Archdeacon Laurence!
Troparion of St LAURENCE — Tone 3
Aflame with the Spirit like a living coal/ thou didst burn up the thorns of error,/ O blessed trophy-bearer Laurence,/ archdeacon of Christ./ Like rational incense thou didst become a whole burnt offering/ to Him Who magnified thee./ Wherefore shelter from all assaults of the enemy those who glorify thee.
Troparion of St LAURENCE — Tone 4
Victorious martyr of Christ our God, / by the sign of the Cross you gave sight to the blind; / you distributed the riches of the Church to the poor; / you were tried by fire and no evil was found in you. / As you endured the burning, / may your prayers extinguish the flames of our many sins, / blessed Archdeacon Laurence!
Troparion of St LAURENCE — Tone 4
In his suffering, O Lord,/ Thy martyr Laurence 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.

Τῷ θείῳ Πνεύματι, καταυγαζόμενος, ὡς ἄνθραξ ἔφλεξας, πλάνης τὴν ἄκανθαν, Ἀρχιδιάκονε Χριστοῦ, Λαυρέντιε Ἀθλοφόρε· ὅθεν ὡς θυμίαμα, λογικὸν ὡλοκαύτωσαι, τῷ σὲ μεγαλύναντι, τῷ πυρὶ τελειούμενος· διό τοὺς σὲ τιμῶντας θεόφρον, σκέπε ἐκ πάσης ἐπηρείας.

Your heart burned with divine fire / as the flames of the passions died within you. / God-bearing martyr Laurence, the pillar of those who struggle, / you cried out in the midst of your contest: / “Nothing can separate me from the love of Christ.”

Κοντάκιον. Ἅγιος ΛΑΥΡΈΝΤΙΟΣ — Ἦχος β’. Τὰ ἄνω ζητῶν
Πυρὶ θεϊκῷ, φλεχθεῖς τὴν καρδίαν σου, τὸ πῦρ τῶν παθῶν, εἰς τέλος ἐναπέσβεσας, Ἀθλητῶν ἑδραίωμα, θεοφόρε Μάρτυς Λαυρέντιε· καὶ ἐν ἄθλοις ἐβόας πιστῶς· Οὐδέν με χωρίσει, τῆς ἀγάπης Χριστοῦ.
Μεγαλυνάριον. Ἅγιος ΛΑΥΡΈΝΤΙΟΣ
Χαίροις ὁ Διάκονος τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὁ διακονήσας, ἐν τῇ χάριτι εὐσεβῶς· χαίροις ὁ τελέσας, διὰ πυρὸς ἀνδρείως, τὸν ἔνθεον ἀγῶνα, Μάρτυς Λαυρέντιε.
Troparion of St GERAINT — Tone 8
Thou wast a Confessor for the Faith, a friend and father of saints/ and a wise and pious king, O holy Geraint./ Even in the Age of Saints thy virtues shone forth, O righteous one,/ and as thou wast a shining beacon guiding thy subjects in Devon into the way of salvation,/ intercede we beseech thee, with Christ our God,/ for those who call upon thee, that He will save their souls.
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
O God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
愿上帝怜恤我罪人
O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,
for the sake of the prayers
of Thy most pure Mother,
our holy and God-bearing fathers and all the saints, have mercy on us.
Amen.
