As You were voluntarily raised upon the cross for our sake, / grant mercy to those who are called by Your Name, O Christ God; / make all Orthodox Christians glad by Your power, / granting them victories over their adversaries, / by bestowing on them the Invincible trophy, Your weapon of Peace.
Martyrs Trophimus, Sabbatius, and Dorymedon of Synnada

God praised in Trinity has glorified a trinity of martyrs: / Trophimus, Sabbatius, and Dorymedon. / By their faith, they overthrew the adversary. / Through their prayers, O Christ our God, have mercy on us.
Kontakion — Tone 8
As the foundation of athletes and the confirmation of piety / the Church honors and glorifies your brilliant suffering, / wise and glorious Trophimus, ever-praised and blessed athlete. / Together with your fellow sufferers, ask cleansing for those who hymn you, / for you are invincible.
Saint Theodore, Prince of Smolensk and Yaroslav, and his sons Saints David and Constantine
Troparion — Tone 4
From your youth you clung to Christ’s love / and you eagerly kept his laws. / You were enriched with miraculous gifts / and now pour forth healings, Theodore, David and Constantine / pray to Christ our God to save those who honor you!
Kontakion — Tone 8
While in the flesh you were radiant lamps living like the angels. / By fasting, vigils and faith you grew like the trees in paradise. / You blossomed in prayer through the grace you received. / You have become mighty physicians, healing infirmity of souls. / O glorious wonderworkers Theodore, David, and Constantine, / pray to Christ our God for the forgiveness of those who venerate your memory!
Martyr Zosimas the Hermit of Cilicia
Troparion — Tone 1
The image of God was truly preserved in you, O Father, / 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 instead for the soul, since it is immortal. / Therefore your spirit, venerable Zosimas, rejoices with the angels.
Kontakion — Tone 2
As a venerable and proven ascetic, as an honorable and renowned martyr, / and as a model of the desert life, O most exalted Zosimas, / we sing hymns of praise to you, / for you have trampled upon serpents.
Saint Theodore of Tarsus, Archbishop of Canterbury
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 Theodore, / entreat Christ our God / that our souls may be saved.
