Life

Saint Titus was a soldier who was known for his bravery. One day, he was seriously wounded in battle. An illness caused by his wound forced him to leave the military service, so he entered the Kiev Caves Monastery. There he spent the rest of his life in prayer and repentance, and attained the heavenly Kingdom.

Troparion

Тропарь преподобного Тита Печерского, бывшего воина, в Дальних пещерах
глас 3
Воинство тленное оставль,/ в нетленном ввоенился еси Христови,/ и оружием его крестным победив подземных ефиопов,/ победы венец от Христа, Тите, славно приял еси,/ Емуже молися даровати нам мир и велию милость.

Kontakion

Кондак преподобного Тита Печерского, бывшего воина, в Дальних пещерах
глас 6
Воина Христова храбраго,/ щитом преподобия обложшагося/ и воев невидимых крепко победивша,/ приидите, вернии, восхвалим,/ Тита крепкодушнаго и возопиим:/ прииди, святе, к нам и никтоже озлобит ны.
