Righteous Ones Troparion Tone 2 Proclaim the wonder, O Joseph, to David, the ancestor of God; you have seen a Virgin great with child; and you gave glory with the shepherds; you worshipped with the Magi, and received the news from the Angel.// Pray to Christ God to save our souls! Righteous Ones Kontakion Tone 3 Today godly David is filled with joy; Joseph and James offer praise. The glorious crown of their kinship with Christ fills them with great joy. They sing praises to the One ineffably born on earth,// and they cry out: “O Compassionate One, save those who honor You!” Nativity Kontakion Tone 3 Today the Virgin gives birth to the Transcendent One, and the earth offers a cave to the Unapproachable One!
