St. Eleftherios of Illyria
Commemorated December 15th
Protector of the Diocese of Wichita and Mid-America
The Passion of the Hieromartyr Eleftherios of Illyria
Troparion, Tone 5
Being comely adorned in thy sacred priestly robes
And newly drenched with streams of thy pure and sanctified blood,
Thou didst soar aloft to stand before thy Master, Christ;
Hence never cease to intercede
For those honoring thy faith with mighty and blessed contest,
O thou overthrower of Satan,
O wise and blessed Eleftherios.
