In the middle of the Feast, O Savior, / fill my thirsting soul with the waters of godliness, as You did cry to all: / If anyone thirst let him come to me and drink! / O Christ God, Fountain of our life, glory to You!
Kontakion — Tone 4
Christ God, the Creator and Master of all / cried to all in the midst of the Feast of the law: / Come and draw the water of immortality! / We fall before You and faithfully cry: / Grant us Your bounties, for You are the Fountain of our life!

(Podoben: “Seeking the highest...”)
Let us praise the apostle of Christ, Andronicus, / the all-radiant star who illumined the nations with the light of the knowledge of God. / Together with him we praise all-wise Junia, / who shone with righteousness. / To them let us cry out: / “Unceasingly pray to Christ God for us all.”
Saint Euphrosynē, Great Princess of Moscow
Troparion — Tone 5
From childhood, you were someone pleasing to God, / and leaving your radiant royal palace, you arrived at the Convent you founded. / Having crossed the abyss of the sea of life, / now with the Angels, you glorify Christ God in songs. / O Venerable Euphrosynē, / do not cease to pray that He will always preserve your Convent, / and grant us peace and great mercy.
Kontakion — Tone 2
You scorned all the good things of this world as vain, / and exhausted your body with fasting and vigilance, / you pleased God with your unceasing prayers, O Venerable Euphrosynē, / and receiving the gift of healing from Him, / you restored the sight of the blind man, and alleviated many other ailments. / Therefore, we cry out with joy, / “Glory to God, Who is wondrous in His Saints.”

Great Martyr Nicholas of Sofia (Bulgaria)
Troparion — Tone 3
You were enriched by the dawn of the Spirit, O glorious one, / and from Whom you received boldness, you brought forth the Trinity one in essence at the Lord's judgment; / therefore, you were pelted with stones, but were not defeated by this. / You were burnt in the fire, and denounced the delusion of the godless. / O much-suffering Saint Nicholas, entreat Christ God to grant our souls great mercy.
Kontakion — Tone 2
Let us praise the godly Nicholas in songs, / a true champion of piety, and invincible helper in troubles; / for in his last year he appeared as a most luminous star, / enlightening the hearts of the faithful; / and now he stands with the Angels before the Holy Trinity, / praying unceasingly for all of us.
