Martyrs Galaction and his wife, Epistemis, at Emesa
Troparion — Tone 4
Let us the faithful honor these two betrothed athletes: / Galaction and modest Episteme. / Their ascetic labors blossomed into martyrdom, therefore we cry to them: / “Glory to Him who has strengthened you! / Glory to Him who has crowned you! / Glory to Him who through you grants healing to all!”
Troparion — Tone 4
Your 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 2
Having fought the good fight in frequent battles, / you were numbered among the martyrs of Christ / together with your faithful husband and companion in struggle, Galaction. / With him, you intercede with the one and undivided God, O Galaction, / for the salvation of us all!
Kontakion — Tone 2
You are numbered among the hosts of martyrs / for you were illustrious in mighty contests. / Galaction, together with Episteme your faithful wife and companion in struggle, / unceasingly intercede to the one God for us all.
Repose of Saint Jonah, Archbishop of Novgorod
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 Jonah, / entreat Christ our God / that our souls may be saved.
Apostles Patrobus, Hermes, Linus, Gaius, and Philologus, of the Seventy

Holy Apostles Patrobus, Hermes, Linus, Gaius, and Philologus, / entreat the merciful God, / to grant our souls forgiveness of transgressions.
Saint Gregory, Archbishop of Alexandria
Troparion — Tone 4
By sharing in the ways of the Apostles, / you became a successor to their throne. / Through the practice of virtue, you found the way to divine contemplation, / O inspired one of God; / by teaching the word of truth without error, / you defended the Faith, even to the shedding of your blood. / Hieromartyr Gregory entreat Christ God to save our souls.
