Saint
Ia (Ives) of Cornwall
Dismissal
Hymn (Tone 5)
Thy life and mission were pleasing to God, most
pious Ia, for seeing thee left behind in Ireland, He miraculously
transported thee across the sea to Cornwall on a leaf. Wherefore,
O Saint, pray to God for us that we may never give way to despair
but ever trust in His great mercy.
Kontakion
(Tone 8)
By a miracle, God showed that the first should
be last and the last, first, O righteous Ia, and therefore we look
to thee as a symbol of Gospel truth, ever praising thine illustrious
memory.
