Troparion to St Modan, solitary

(Natalice the 6th century)

son of an illustrious leader, you have become a monk .*

On the green island of Hibernia, you preached *

The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, *

Living alone in the land of Scotland .*

St. Modan, ask the Lord to save our souls!

For the date of the saint's feast, we chose the date of natalice (birth to Heaven) in the more traditional 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 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 Father, Son and Holy Spirit! Amen!
