(Holiday 50 days after Easter)
Blessed are you, Christ our God, / who are all wise fishers of phenomena, / sending down the Holy Spirit to them, / and thereby catching the universe, // Lover of mankind, glory to you.
In Russian
Blessed are You, Christ our God, who revealed the wise fishers (in the apostles), sent down the Holy Spirit to them, and caught the universe with them. Glory to You, Lover of Humanity.
Yavlei – the one who has revealed. Catch - caught.
This troparion says that Jesus Christ sent down the Holy Spirit to the apostles and through them attracted the whole world to Himself.
Why are the apostles called fishers?
Because they, like fishermen with a net, caught people with their preaching and led them to the true faith.
