Today is the feast of St. Gregory the Theologian.

Troparion - Tone 1

The sweet-sounding shepherd’s pipe
of your theology
overpowered the trumpeting
of the orators;
for having searched the depths of the Spirit
eloquence was also bestowed upon you.
Pray to Christ God, Father Gregory,
that our souls may be saved.

Kontakion - Tone 3

By words of theology you unraveled the complex webs of the orators,
glorious Gregory,
and adorned the Church with the robe of Orthodoxy woven from on high.
Wearing it, she cries out with us, her children:
“Rejoice, O Father, supreme mind of theology.”
