Venerable Ananias the Iconographer
Troparion — Tone 8
In you, O Father, was preserved with exactness what was according to the image; / for you took up the Cross and followed Christ. / By so doing, you taught us to disregard the flesh, for it passes away; / but to care for the soul, since it is immortal. / Therefore, O Venerable Ananias, your spirit rejoices with the Angels.
Kontakion — Tone 2
(Podoben: “You sought the heights...”)
Having divinely armed yourself with purity of soul / and firmly grasping unceasing prayer as a spear, you slew the hordes of demons. / Therefore, we beseech you, O Father Ananias: / “Always intercede for those who honor you.”
Hieromartyr Pancratius, Bishop of Taormina in Sicily
Troparion — Tone 8
As a flaming arrow You were sent from on high / to the throne of Taormina to wound godless impiety / and to illumine the hearts of the faithful, / confirming them in the faith through the word of God. / And having completed your course You did suffer unto bloodshed. / O Hieromartyr Pancratius, pray for all who praise your memory.
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 Pancratius entreat Christ God to save our souls.
Kontakion — Tone 8
You were a brilliant star in Taormina, O blessed Pancratius, / and You became a hieromartyr for Christ. / Standing before Him now, pray for those who honor you.
Kontakion — Tone 4
Pancratius, you were revealed as a brilliant star for the people of Taormina; / you were also shown to be a sufferer for Christ. / Since you now stand before Him, O blessed one, pray for those who honor you.

Troparion — Tone 4
Your holy martyrs Patermuthius, Coprius, and Alexander, 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!
Saint Theodore, Bishop of Edessa
Troparion — Tone 4
You were a follower of the Apostles and a pillar of divine teachings, / therefore you came to Christ, and by your prayers, O blessèd Theodore, / you illumined the Caliph Mavi with the light of Baptism. / By professing the Faith, he shed his blood and received that which he asked: a crown from Christ the King. / O Hierarch Theodore, entreat Him to save our souls.
Troparion — Tone 4
Against your will, you received your flock as a Hierarch, / but of your own free will you contested for the Church, / and the unbelieving Caliph Mavi converted to the Faith with the help of earth from the Lord's tomb. / Along with his physical blindness, you also healed his soul, and instructed him in piety. / At the same time you drove heretics away from the Church like wolves. / O most revered Hierarch Theodore, / pray that our souls may be saved.
Kontakion — Tone 4
Shining like the sun with radiant life, O Hierarch Theodore, / you appeared before the Babylonian Caliph with miracles, making him a servant of Christ. / Now standing with him before the throne of the Trinity, / remember us who celebrate your glorious memory, / O wise one.
Kontakion — Tone 4
By your good will, you graciously illumined your child, / the revered Mavi, at the Life-Giving Tree. / You went to Constantinople, / where you healed the eyes of the virtuous Empress Theodora with earth from the Lord's tomb and restored her sight. / From there, with the desired treasure again in Babylon / you strengthened the honorable Mavi for his martyrdom for Christ; / therefore we cry out to you: / “Rejoice, revered Theodore, / disciple of Christ, the Good Shepherd.”
Saint Dionysios the Rhetorician and his disciple Saint Mētrophánēs
Troparion — Tone 3
(Podoben: “The Divine Faith...”)
You consumed the roots of the passions with divine coals, / and shone ascetically on Athos, / for radiant with the unwaning light, / you were shown as equals to the God-bearers. / O wise Dionysios and godly Mētrophánēs, entreat Christ God that great mercy may be granted unto us.
Kontakion — Tone 8
(Podoben: “O Victorious Leader...”)
As most sacred initiates of the Trinity, and of equal standing, and communicants with the Monastic Saints, / O wise Dionysios and Mētrophánēs, / never cease to quash the schemes of the Enemy against us, / so that we may cry: “Rejoice, O God-bearers.”
