Dormition of the Righteous Anna, the Mother of the Most Holy Theotokos
Troparion — Tone 4
Divinely-wise Anna, you carried in your womb the pure Mother of God, who gave life to our Life. / Therefore, you are now carried joyfully to the inheritance of heaven, / to the abode of those who rejoice in glory, / where you seek forgiveness of sins for those who faithfully honor you, ever blessed one.
Kontakion — Tone 2
We celebrate the memory of the progenitors of Christ, / and with faith we ask their help, / that deliverance from every affliction be granted to those who cry out: / “Be with us, O God, who in Your good pleasure glorified them.”
Virgin Martyr Eupraxia of Tabenna
Troparion — Tone 4
(Podoben: “Joseph was amazed...”)
Your lamb Eupraxia, / calls out to You, O Jesus, in a loud voice: / “I love You, my Bridegroom, / and in seeking You, I endure suffering. / In baptism I was crucified so that I might reign in You, / and I died so that I might live with You. / Accept me as a pure sacrifice, / for I have offered myself in love.” / Through her prayers save our souls, since You are merciful.
Kontakion — Tone 2
(Podoben: “You sought the heights...”)
Finding your most revered temple to be a source of healing for our souls, / we the faithful cry out to You with a loud voice: / “O most renowned Virgin Martyr Eupraxia, / entreat Christ God unceasingly on behalf of us all.”
Venerable Makarios, Abbot of Zheltovod and Unzha
Troparion — Tone 5
Today your city of Galich praises you, for within its boundaries you shone as a great sun; / and by your miracles, O Venerable Makarios, you have illumined all things. / Now pray to the Lord that our souls may be delivered from the temptations of the Enemy, / and that your city may be protected from the invasion of pagans.
Kontakion — Tone 2
You appeared as a second Moses, O Venerable one, for he divided the sea with his staff, / and you conquered the passions like Amalek,1 passing through the impenetrable wilderness with an untroubled mind. / There, by your prayers, you worked great miracles, feeding hungry people to satiety. / Now pray to the Lord to give consolation to all those in sorrow, O ever-memorable Father Makarios, / and to the region of Galich, and praise and affirmation to all the Russian land.
