Troparion to St. Vaast, bishop of Arras,
(Natalice in 539 AD)

You were a hermit, then a priest, and you had Mission *
To teach the king Clovis Orthodox faith .*
You became bishop of Arras, and you work *
To rekindle the flame Christian in this place .*
You then received the siege of Cambrai .*
St. Vaast, intercede with God for our souls!

You were a monk at the monastery of Goose Island, *
Then Bourges with the pious saint Austregesilus , *

For the date of the saint's feast, we chose the date of natalice (birth to Heaven) more traditional in the Orthodox Church. The troparia of our invention are not written in rhymed Alexandrine, and can sing the traditional Slavic colors. We in the West many local intercessors who watch over us so for centuries. Many are, alas, completely forgotten. It is natural that we celebrate together with the holy Russian, Greek, Serbian or Romanian who brought Orthodoxy in our land. Often, these relics blessed saints abandoned, have, when they were revered and honored an icon, shown the grace of God through the miracle of myrrh.
That the prayers of our fathers in the holy Orthodox faith of the West, and our sponsors spiritual saints Eastern Orthodox acting together, lead us to the eternal kingdom of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit ! Amen!
