Saint Passarion

Commemorated on August 11.

Saint Passarion pursued asceticism in the first half of the fifth century. He founded a monastery in Jerusalem. He was “chorepiskopos” [vicar-bishop] of Palestine, and a converser with Saint Euthymius the Great (January 20).

Troparion

The truth of things revealed you to your flock as a rule of faith,
an icon of meekness, and a teacher of abstinence;
therefore, you acquired greatness by humility, and riches by poverty.
O Father and Hierarch Passarion,
intercede with Christ God that our souls may be saved.

O Hierarch Passarion, divine thunder, spiritual trumpet,
planter of faith and pruner of heresies,
great favorite of the Trinity, while standing with the Angels before God,
pray unceasingly for us all.
