The Seventh Day of the Month of January

Menologion

Troparion of the Feast Tone 1

When Thou wast baptized in the Jordan, O Lord,/ the worship of the Trinity made its appearance./ For the voice of the Father bore witness to Thee/ when He called Thee His beloved Son./ And the Spirit in the form of a dove/ confirmed the truth of the word./ O Christ our God, Who hast appeared and hast enlightened the world,/ glory to Thee!

Troparion of the Forerunner Tone 2

The memory of the just is celebrated with hymns of praise,/ but the Lord's testimony is enough for thee, O Forerunner/ for thou wast shown to be more wonderful than the Prophets/ since thou wast granted to baptize in the running waters/ Him whom thou didst proclaim./ Then having endured great suffering for the Truth,/ thou didst rejoice to bring, even to those in hell,/ the good tidings that God Who had appeared in the flesh/ takes away the sin of the world/ and grants us the great mercy.

Troparion of St. Brannock of Braunton Tone 1

Righteous tutor of the children of Brychan and great wonderworker, O Father Brannock,/ thou didst win many souls for Christ by thy tireless endeavors./ As Braunton's church may yet hold thy precious relics,/ pray that we, being ever mindful of our Orthodox heritage,/ may never deviate from the true faith,/ and, thereby, receive the reward of the blest.

Kontakion of the Feast Tone 4

Thou hast appeared today to the world,/ and Thy light, O Lord, has been signed upon us/ who with full knowledge sing to Thee./ Thou hast come, Thou hast appeared,/ O Unapproachable Light.

Kontakion of the Forerunner Tone 6

Jordan turned back in fear at the sight of Thy bodily presence./ And having fulfilled his prophetic ministry, John drew back trembling./ The Angelic orders were amazed/ to see Thee in the flesh baptized in the waters./ And all in darkness were illumined and praised Thee/ Who had appeared and enlightened all creation.

Kontakion of St. Brannock of Braunton Tone 5

Returning to Wales from thy pilgrimage to the Apostles/ and thy witnessing in Brittany, O Father Brannock,/ thou didst desire solitude for thy last days./ Miraculously sailing to Devon in a stone coffin,/ thou didst find Braunton pleasing to God./ Wherefore we praise Him for His great mercy and sing hymns,/ keeping festival to glorify and venerate thy most holy memory.
