Troparion

The image of God was truly preserved in you, O Father,
for you took up the Cross and followed Christ.
By so doing you taught us to disregard the flesh for it passes away
but to care instead for the soul, since it is immortal.
Therefore your spirit, venerable Luke, rejoices with the angels.

Kontakion

As a venerable and proven ascetic, as an honorable and renowned martyr,
and as a model of the desert life, O most exalted Luke,
we sing hymns of praise to you,
for you have trampled upon serpents.
