Troparia
St. Basil the Confessor, Fellow Faster of the Holy Procopius,
Troparion, Tone I —
A dweller in the desert, an angel in the flesh,/ and a wonderworker wast
thou,/ O our God-bearing father Basil./ Receiving heavenly gifts through
fasting, vigil and prayer,/ thou healest the sicknesses and souls/ of those who
with faith have recourse unto thee./ Glory to Him Who gaveth thee strength!/
Glory to Him Who hath crowned thee!// Glory to Him Who worketh healings for all
through thee!
Kontakion, Tone II "Seeking the highest" —
Receiving divine revelation from on high,/ thou didst withdraw from the midst
of the tumult, O wise one;/ and having lived the monastic life venerably, thou
didst receive the power to work miracles and to heal diseases by grace,// O most
blessed and sacred Basil.
