Chrysanthus

Hieromartyr

Commemorated March 19

The holy, glorious and right-victorious Martyr Chrysanthus (or Chrysanthos ) is a hieromartyr who was killed around AD 283. He is commemorated on March 19 along with his wife St. Daria .

Troparion

Having been a participant of the character and a successor of the apostles on the throne, thou, O God-inspired one, didst find work in coming into visions; whilst therefore rightly dividing the word of truth, for the sake of the faith didst thou suffer even unto the shedding of thy blood. O hieromartyr Chrysanthus, intercede before Christ the God that our souls may be saved.

Kontakion

Having lived piously among hierarchs and having gone through the path of martyrdom, thou, O God-wise one, hast extinguished the sacrifices of idols and wast a protector unto thy flock. Wherefore, in honouring thee, in our hearts we cry out unto thee: Do ever deliver us from dangers through thine intercessions, O Chrysanthus, our father.
