Troparion of St Ruman Tone 5
Thou didst dazzle us with a jewel, a treasure,/ a pearl of great price,
O righteous Father Ruman,/ in the God-pleasing life and asceticism of
the desert./ Thy selfless devotion, love of animals/ and patience in the
face of calumny are our guiding lights./ Wherefore, O Saint, pray that
the unprofitable servants who hymn thee/ be granted great mercy.
Kontakion of St Ruman Tone 5
Today we keep festival in thy honour, holy Ruman,/ for caring nothing
for thyself/ thou didst face danger, false accusation and misdirected
piety/ for the love of Him Who is the Creator of all things.
