All venerable and holy Fathers of the Holy Mount Athos, Troparion, in Tone I —
In hymns let us honor the fathers of the wilderness of Athos, the angels in
the flesh, the confessors and the venerable, holy hierarchs and martyrs; and,
emulating their virtues, let us cry aloud, saying: Glory to Him who hath
glorified you! Glory to Him Who hath crowned you! Glory to Him Who hath shown
you to be our intercessors amid tribulations!
Kontakion, in Tone IV, "O Thou Who wast of Thine own will lifted up on the
Cross..." —
Come ye, let us all praise the fathers who have made Mount Athos a heaven,
who have shown forth therein an angelic life, and have assembled a multitude of
monks; and let us cry out unto them: deliver us from every misfortune and
temptation, O ye multitude of the venerable, boast of Athos.
All Russian Saints, Troparion, in Tone VIII —
The land of Russia doth offer Thee, O Lord, all the saints who have shone
forth in it, as the beauteous fruit of Thy salvific splendor. By their
supplications and through the Theotokos preserve Thou the Church and our land in
profound peace, O most Merciful One.
Kontakion, in Tone III, "Today the Virgin... " —
Today the choir of the saints who have pleased God in our land standeth forth
in the Church and invisibly prayeth to God for us. With them the angels give
glory, and all the saints of the Church of Christ celebrate with them; for all
together they entreat the pre-eternal God for us.
Troparion of the Sunday, Tone I —
When the stone had been sealed by the Jews; / while the soldiers were guarding Thy most pure
Body; / Thou didst rise on the third day, O Savior, / granting life to the world. / The powers of
heaven therefore cried to Thee, O Giver of Life: / Glory to Thy Resurrection, O Christ! / Glory to
Thy Kingdom! / Glory to Thy dispensation, O Thou Who lovest mankind.
Hymn to the Theotokos, Tone I —
When Gabriel announced to Thee, O Virgin, “Rejoice!” / with that word the Master of all was
incarnate in Thee, O Holy Ark. / As the righteous David said, / Thy womb became more spacious
than the heavens, bearing Thy Creator. / Glory to Him Who took abode in Thee! / Glory to Him
Who came from Thee! / Glory to Him Who freed us by being born of Thee!
Kontakion of the Sunday, Tone I —
As God, Thou didst rise from the tomb in glory, / raising the world with Thyself. / Human
nature praises Thee as God, for death has vanished! / Adam exults, O Master! / Eve rejoices,
for she is freed from bondage, and cries to Thee: / Thou art the Giver of Resurrection to all,
O Christ!
Holy Martyr Aquilina, Troparion, Tone IV —
Thy ewe-lamb Aquilina crieth out to Thee with a loud voice, O Jesus:/ "I love
Thee, O my Bridegroom,/ and, seeking Thee, I pass through many struggles:/ I am
crucified and buried with Thee in Thy baptism,/ and suffer for Thy sake, that I
may reign with Thee;/ I die for Thee that I might live with Thee./ As an
unblemished sacrifice accept me,/ who sacrifice myself with love for Thee// By
her supplications save Thou our souls, in that Thou art merciful.
Holy Hierarch Triphyllius, Bishop of Leucosia in Cyprus, Troparion, Tone IV —
The truth of things revealed thee to thy flock as a rule of faith,/ a model
of meekness and a teacher of abstinence/ wherefore thou hast attained the
heights through humility/ and riches through poverty.// O hierarch Triphyllius
our father, entreat Christ God that our souls be saved.
Kontakion of the Holy Hierarch, Tone VIII, "To thee, the champion
leader..." —
Receiving the purity of virginity through the excellence of thy life, O
Triphyllius,/ thou wast the first hierarch of Leucosia/ and wast shown to be its
evangelizer and instructor in the knowledge of God.// Wherefore, with joy we cry
out to thee: Rejoice, O adornment of hierarchs!
Kontakion of the Martyr, Tone II, "Seeking the highest..." —
Having utterly purified thy soul with the beauties of thy virginity/ and
attained the heights by martyrdom, O most honored Aquilina,/ wounded with the
love of Christ thy Bridegroom,/ thou standest before Him with the angels in
gladness.// With them cease thou never to pray for us all.
