O Holy Boniface,
hieromartyr and equal of the apostles, godly scion of England, boast of Germany, praise of France and glory of Holland!
Arrayed in vestments dyed red in the blood of thy sacrifice, intercede with boldness before the throne of the King of all, that He pacify all the nations and visit our souls with great mercy.
Troparion of the 5th of June, the feast day of Saint Boniface
