Today we also commemorate the translation of the holy and incorrupt relics of
Saint Philip from the Monastery of Solovki, where he was Abbot, to
the Cathedral of the Dormition in Moscow, his Metropolitan throne.
This came to pass in 1652, some eighty years after his martyric death
in Tver. (See also Jan. 9 and Oct. 5.)
Apolytikion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone:
O Successor of first prelates, pillar of Orthodoxy, champion of truth, new
confessor, Saint Philip, thou didst lay down thy life for thy flock. Wherefore,
since thou hast boldness with Christ, pray for the suffering Russian land
and them that worthily honour thy holy memory.
Kontakion in the
Third Tone:
Let us praise most wise Philip, guide and teacher of Orthodoxy, herald of truth,
emulator of Chrysostom, lamp of Russia, who fed his children spiritually with
the food of his words; for by chanting praise with his tongue, he taught us
to chant with our lips as an initiate of the grace of God.
