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.
Martyr Polyeuktos of Melitene in Armenia
Troparion — Tone 1
(Podoben: “O citizen of the desert...”)
The light of godliness shone upon you from heaven, / and you became a noble soldier of Christ. / When you were beheaded you were numbered with the choirs of Martyrs, / with whom, O godly-minded Polу́euktos, always pray for those who cry: / “Glory to Him strengthened You. / Glory to Him Who crowned you. / Glory to Him Who, through you, grants healings for all.”
Troparion — Tone 4
(Podoben: “Be quick to anticipate...”)
Your Martyr Polу́euktos, O Lord, / through his contest received an incorruptible crown from You, our God; / for, possessed of Your strength, / he laid the tyrants low and shattered the powerless boldness of the demons. / By his supplications, save our souls.
Kontakion — Tone 4
(Podoben: “You appeared today...”)
When the Savior bowed his head in the Jordan, / the heads of the dragons were crushed;1 / when Polу́euktos was beheaded, the deceiver was put to shame.
1 Genesis 3:15, 1 John 3:8.

O Hierarch Philip, successor of the First Hierarchs, / pillar of Orthodoxy, champion of truth, and new confessor; / you laid down your life for your flock. / As one having boldness before Christ, pray for your city, / and for the people who rightly revere your holy memory.
Kontakion — Tone 8
After you fell asleep, they found on your body a treasure which is not subject to theft: / two crosses and the heaviest iron chains. / With fasting and prayers you pleased God, O Hierarch Philip, / pray to Christ God for all of us.
Kontakion — Tone 3
Let us praise the most wise Phillip, the instructor of Orthodoxy and herald of truth, / emulator of Chrysostom, and luminary of Russia, / who nourished his spiritual children with the food of his words; / for with his tongue he sang praises, / and taught us to chant with our lips as an initiate of the mysteries of God's grace.

Saint Peter, Bishop of Sebaste, in Armenia
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 Peter, / entreat Christ our God / that our souls may be saved.
Kontakion — Tone 2

O Hierarch Peter, divine thunder, spiritual trumpet, / planter of faith and pruner of heresies, great favorite of the Trinity, / while standing with the Angels before God, / pray unceasingly for us all.
