TROPARION

Let  us praise the holy and glorious apostle Luke  with  sacred chants; 

 for he is a living doctor who heals human weakness, the ills of souls, and the sickness of nature. He is the awesome writer of Christ's gospel and

    the story of the Acts of the Apostles. He recorded for the Church what had been unwritten.
