Saint Joseph, Metropolitan of Astrakhan - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 6
You fought the good fight,1 crowning your life with torments for the truth, / you have moved to the heavenly abodes, / where, before the Throne of the Holy Trinity, O Hierarch Joseph, / you pray for the city of Astrakhan, and for our earthly homeland to be saved.
Kontakion — Tone 2
You shone as a bright star in Astrakhan, where you were born and raised, / and for your faithfulness to God, you suffered a martyric death. / Honoring your martyrdom, we cry to you: / “O Hierarch Joseph, who were killed by the rebels, pray to Christ God for our souls.”
1 2 Timothy 4:7.
