St. Cyril of Alexandria

Commemorated June 9

Troparion of St. Cyril of Alexandria, Tone 1

With all reverence let us praise the light of the world, the great orator and champion of the Mother of God; for by his fiery teachings he burned the heresy of Nestorius. Wherefore let us cry to him: O divine Cyril, intercede with Christ to strengthen the Orthodox faith.
