Saint OSWALD, roi de Northumbrie, martyr mort pour le Christ en combattant le roi païen de Mercie, Penda, à la bataille de Maserfelth (642).
Troparion of St Oswald tone 5
Example to kings, champion of the Faith/ and missionary of God's Holy
Word,/ thou didst excel in spiritual virtues O Father Oswald./ With
Aidan's help thou didst lift from Northumbria the heavy yoke of
heathenism/ and fearing nothing, thou didst confront the forces of
darkness,/ thereby exchanging thy earthly crown for the crown of
martyrdom./ We who are blessed to have/ thy precious relics with us to this day/ entreat thee for thy prayers/ that Christ our God will grant us His great mercy.
