Saint Averkios the Wonderworker, Bishop of Hieropolis, Equal of the Apostles
Troparion — Tone 4
You appeared to your flock as a rule of faith, / an Image of humility and a teacher of abstinence. / Because of your lowliness, Heaven was opened to you; / because of your poverty, riches were granted to you. / O Holy Bishop Averkios, entreat Christ God to save our souls.
Troparion — Tone 5
You emulated the zeal of the Apostles / and shone forth like a morning star, / and your works revealed your God-given power: / you guided the erring to God, / O Hierarch Averkios.

Those who renounced the perishing comforts of this world, / preferring the eternal things of Heaven, / were incorrupt after death and rose from the dead / and buried the snares of the devils! / O Faithful, let us then honor them, singing a hymn of praise to Christ!
