Troparion — Tone 4
By sharing in the ways of the Apostles, / you became a successor to their throne. / Through the practice of virtue, you found the way to divine contemplation, / O inspired one of God; / by teaching the word of truth without error, / you defended the Faith, even to the shedding of your blood. / Hieromartyr Gregory entreat Christ God to save our souls.
Kontakion — Tone 2
Today, let us the faithful, praise with songs and hymns / the admirable hierarch Gregory as an initiate in the sacred mysteries. / He was a contender for the truth, a vigilant pastor and teacher, / a light for the whole world, / interceding with Christ that our souls may be saved!
Venerable Gregory, Abbot of Pelsheme and Wonderworker of Vologda
Troparion — Tone 8
By a flood of tears you made the desert fertile, / and your longing for God brought forth fruits in abundance. / By the radiance of miracles you illumined the whole universe! / O our holy father Gregory, pray to Christ our God to save our souls!
Saint Michael, first Metropolitan of Kiev
Troparion — Tone 4
The prophecy of the first-called apostle has been fulfilled today: / Grace has illumined the hills of Kiev and the faith is increased. / Those who were not a people / are now the people of God, a holy nation, / a flock of Christ of which you, O Michael, are first shepherd, / and you serve it by bringing baptism. / O Hierarch, standing before God pray that all may be saved!
Kontakion — Tone 2
You appeared as a second Moses, / bringing the vine from Egyptian idolatry into the land of promise. / You said of it: Faith shall be established in this land, / and fruit to nourish the world shall flourish on the summits of Kiev, / more than on the heights of Lebanon. / Having this harvest we bless you, O Hierarch Michael!
Martyrs Rhipsime and Gaianḗ of Armenia and those with them
Troparion — Tone 4
Your holy martyrs, O Lord, / through their sufferings have received incorruptible crowns from You, our God. / For having Your strength, they laid low their adversaries, / and shattered the powerless boldness of demons. / Through their intercessions, save our souls!
