Afterfeast of the Theophany of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
Troparion — Tone 1
When You, O Lord were baptized in the Jordan / the worship of the Trinity was made manifest / for the voice of the Father bore witness to You / and called You His beloved Son. / And the Spirit, in the form of a dove, / confirmed the truthfulness of His word. / O Christ, our God, You have revealed Yourself / and have enlightened the world, glory to You!
Kontakion — Tone 4
Today You have shown forth to the world, O Lord, / and the light of Your countenance has been marked on us. / Knowing You, we sing Your praises. / You have come and revealed Yourself, / O unapproachable Light.
Venerable Theodosius the Great, the Cenobiarch

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! / Our Father Theodosius, pray to Christ God to save our souls!
Kontakion — Tone 8
Planted in the courts of your Lord, you blossomed beautifully with virtue, / and increased your children in the desert, showering them with streams of your tears, / O chief shepherd of the divine flock of God. / Therefore, we cry to you: “Rejoice, Father Theodosius.”
Venerable Michael the Fool-for-Christ of the Klops Monastery, Novgorod
Troparion — Tone 8

Yelets Icon of the Mother of God
Troparion — Tone 4
Today the ancient city of Yelets rejoices with exultation, / remembering the glorious miracle of the Most Holy Theotokos, / when on the streets of the capital city of Moscow the people met her wonderworking Icon, / then the Sovereign Lady, on Mount Argamach in the city of Yelets, / came out to meet the wicked Tamerlane, / turning back his formidable offensive. / Contemplating the wondrous appearance of the newly-painted Icon, / and thanking our Protectress for all her blessings, / we humbly cry: “Do not forsake us in the future, O Merciful Mother.”
