Memorial Saturday
Troparion — Tone 8
Only Creator, with wisdom profound, You mercifully order all things, / and give that which is needed to all men: / Give rest, O Lord, to the souls of Your servants who have fallen asleep, / for they have placed their trust in You, our Maker and Fashioner, and our God.
Kontakion — Tone 8
With the saints give rest, O Christ, to the souls of Your servants, / where there is neither sickness nor sorrow, and no more sighing, / but life everlasting.
Venerable Bessarion, Wonderworker of Egypt

O God of our Fathers, / always act with kindness towards us; / take not Your mercy from us, / but guide our lives in peace / through the prayers of the venerable Bessarion and Hilarion the New.
Kontakion — Tone 2
You imitated the powers on high, venerable Bessarion, / living by example the life of those who take flight. / Led by steadfast desire to the heavenly good things of Christ the King, / you put passing things from your mind and attained to Him. / Entreat Him without ceasing for the sake of us all!

Saint Jonah, Bishop of Perm
Troparion — Tone 4
In truth you were revealed to your flock as a rule of faith, / an image of humility and a teacher of abstinence; / your humility exalted you; / your poverty enriched you. / Hierarch Father Jonah, / entreat Christ our God / that our souls may be saved.
Venerable Paisius, Abbot of Uglich
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 Paisius, pray to Christ our God to save our souls!

Virgin Martyrs Archelais, Thekla, and Susanna, at Salerno
Troparion — Tone 1
As reasonable lambs, you were guided by Christ, the Chief Shepherd, / along the path of martyrdom. / You finished your course and kept the faith; / therefore, honored Archelais, Thekla, and Susanna, / with joyful hearts, we magnify Christ today, as we honor your holy memory!
Pimenov Icon of the Mother of God
Troparion — Tone 4
Let us sinners and wretched people now run most earnestly to the Theotokos, / and let us fall down in repentance, crying out from the depths of our souls: / O Sovereign Lady, have compassion on us, / help us, and come quickly, for we are perishing from a multitude of transgressions. / Do not turn your servants away empty-handed, for we have you as our only hope.
Kontakion — Tone 6
Steadfast protectress of Christians, / most constant advocate before the Creator, / do not despise the voices of us who have sinned, / but in your goodness come speedily to help us, who cry to you in faith. / Hasten to intercede for us, O Theotokos, / and speedily make supplication, for you always protect those who honor you.
Kontakion — Tone 6
We have no other help, we have no other hope, but you, O Sovereign Lady. / Help us, for in you we hope, / and of you we boast, for we are your servants. / Let us not be put to shame.
Martyr Gelasius
Troparion — Tone 3
Your holy martyr Gelasius, O Lord, / through his sufferings has received an incorruptible crown from You, our God. / For having Your strength, he laid low his adversaries, / and shattered the powerless boldness of demons. / Through his intercessions, save our souls!
Kontakion — Tone 2
(Podoben: “You sought the heights...”)
You appeared as a bright star announcing Christ with your radiance, / which is repulsive to this world, O Martyr Gelasius; / extinguishing the allure of false gods, / you enlighten the faithful, / always interceding for us all.
