42 Martyrs of Ammoria in Phrygia
Troparion — Tone 4
Your forty-two 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!
Kontakion — Tone 4
Forty-two holy martyrs of Ammoria, / you contended for the sake of Christ on earth; / you were revealed as crown-bearing martyrs, / and have been received into the life of the joy of heaven. / Since you overthrew all the wiles of the enemy / by your sufferings and the blood of your wounds, / you continually send down from on high remission of sins to those who praise you.

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 Saints Conon and Conon.
Kontakion — Tone 2
As venerable and proven ascetics, as honorable and renowned martyrs, / and as models of the desert life, O most exalted Conon and Conon, / we sing hymns of praise to you, / for you have trampled upon serpents.
Venerable Arcadius of Cyprus
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 Arcadius, pray to Christ our God to save our souls!
