Saint John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople
Troparion — Tone 8
Grace shining forth from your mouth like a beacon has illumined the inhabited earth; / it has disclosed to the world treasures which wealth cannot buy; / and has set forth for us the height of humility. / Instructing us by your words, O Father John Chrysostom, / intercede with the Word, Christ God, that our souls may be saved.
Kontakion — Tone 2
(Podoben: “When You had fulfilled Your dispensation for our sakes”1...)
You received divine grace from Heaven, / and by your lips you teach all men to worship the one God in Trinity, / O most blessed Venerable John Chrysostom. / We praise you, as is meet, / for you are a guide, making divine things clear.
1 Kontakion for the Ascension.

Troparion — Tone 4
Your holy martyrs Nicephorus, Antoninus, and Germanus, 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!
Martyr Manetha of Cæsarea in Palestine
Troparion — Tone 3
Your holy martyr Manetha, O Lord, / through her sufferings has received an incorruptible crown from You, our God. / For having Your strength, she laid low her adversaries, / and shattered the powerless boldness of demons. / Through her intercessions, save our souls!
Kontakion — Tone 2
(Podoben: “You sought the heights...”)
You appeared as a bright star announcing Christ with your radiance, / which is repulsive to this world, O Martyr Manetha; / extinguishing the allure of false gods, / you enlighten the faithful, / always interceding for us all.
Monastic Martyr Damascene of the Lavra
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 Damascene, 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 Damascene, / we sing hymns of praise to you, / for you have trampled upon serpents.
Stockholm Icon of the Mother of God
Troparion — Tone 4
Let us sinners and wretched people now run most earnestly to the Theotokos, / and let us fall down in repentance, crying out from the depths of our souls: / “O Sovereign Lady, have compassion on us, / help us, and come quickly, for we are perishing from a multitude of transgressions. / Do not turn your servants away empty-handed, for we have you as our only hope.”
Kontakion — Tone 6
We have no other help, we have no other hope, but you, O Sovereign Lady. / Help us, for in you do we hope, / and of you do we boast, for we are your servants. / Let us not be put to shame.
