Kontakion, Tone IV, Having been lifted up... — O pure one, full of divine grace,/ thou hast given all the faithful a garment of incorruption,/ thy sacred robe, wherewith thou didst cover thy sacred body,/ O protection of all mankind./ With love do we celebrate its deposition,/ and cry out to thee with fear, O pure one:// Rejoice, O Virgin, thou boast of Christians! St. Juvenal, patriarch of Jerusalem, Troparion, in Tone IV — The truth of things revealed thee to thy flock as a rule of faith, a model of meekness and teacher of abstinence. Wherefore, thou didst attain the heights through humility and riches through poverty. O father Juvenal, entreat Christ God, that our souls be saved. Kontakion, in Tone II — Assembling now, with hymns let us honor Juvenal, the boast of Jerusalem, the namesake of youth, who today hast been translated to the life which waxeth not old, the heir of the apostles, fellow initiate of the mysteries with the God-bearing fathers, explainer of the dogmas of Orthodoxy, denouncer of false doctrines, the universal teacher of the Truth.
