Ἀπολυτίκιον. Ἁγία ΧΡΙΣΤΊΝΑ — Ἦχος δ΄
Ἡ ἀμνάς σου Ἰησοῦ, κράζει μεγάλη τῇ φωνῇ. Σὲ Νυμφίε μου ποθῶ, καὶ σὲ ζητοῦσα ἀθλῶ, καὶ συσταυροῦμαι καὶ συνθάπτομαι τῷ βαπτισμῷ σου· καὶ πάσχω διὰ σέ, ὡς βασιλεύσω σὺν σοί, καὶ θνήσκω ὑπὲρ σοῦ, ἵνα καὶ ζήσω ἐν σοί· ἀλλ᾽ ὡς θυσίαν ἄμωμον προσδέχου τὴν μετὰ πόθου τυθεῖσάν σοι. Αὐτῆς πρεσβείαις, ὡς ἐλεήμων, σῶσον τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν.
Ἀπολυτίκιο. Ἁγία ΧΡΙΣΤΊΝΑ — Ἦχος πλ. α’. Τὸν συνάναρχον Λόγον
Τοῦ πατρός σου τὴν πλάνην λιποῦσα πάνσεμνε, τῆς εὐσεβείας ἐδέξω τὴν θείαν ἔλλαμψιν, καὶ νενύμφευσαι Χριστῷ ὡς καλλιπάρθενος· ὅθεν ἠγώνισαι στερρῶς, καὶ καθεῖλες τὸν ἐχθρόν, Χριστῖνα Μεγαλομάρτυς. Καὶ νῦν ἀπαύστως δυσώπει, ἐλεηθῆναι τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν.
Troparion of Ss BORIS and GLEB — Tone 2
O Passion-bearers and fulfillers of the Gospel of Christ,/ chaste Boris and guileless Gleb:/ you did not oppose the attacks of the enemy, your brother,/ when he killed your bodies but could not touch your souls./ Let him therefore mourn while you rejoice with the Angels/ standing before the Holy Trinity./ Pray that those who honour your memory may find grace with God/ and that all Orthodox people may be saved.
Troparion of St DECLAN — Tone 4
Thou wast a bright light in Ireland before the days of St Patrick,/ O holy Father Declan./ Thou didst travel in Europe and return to found a monastery/ where thou wast ever kind to the poor./ We praise thee, O glorious Hierarch.
Apolytikion of St THEOPHILOS — Tone 1
You courageously confessed God incarnate, you spit upon the unbelieving teachings of the Hagarenes. You were burnt by them with fire, spreading fragrance through the earth, O thrice-blessed Theophilos, the true friend of God. Rejoice therefore, neomartyr of Christ. Rejoice, boast of the Church. Rejoice, offspring of Zakynthos and the ornament of Chios.
Ἀπολυτίκιον. Ἅγιος ΘΕΌΦΙΛΟΣ – Ἦχος πλ. α’. Τὸν συνάναρχον Λόγον
Ἐκ Ζακύνθου βλαστήσας Μάρτυς Θεόφιλε, ἀθλητικῶς ἠγωνίσω ὑπὲρ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ, καὶ ὡς θῦμα καθαρὸν αὐτῷ προσήνεξαι, διὰ πυρὸς τελειωθείς, ἐν τῇ Χίῳ ἀνδρικῶς· διό σε ἀνευφημοῦμεν, ὡς ἀθλητὴν τοῦ Σωτῆρος, καὶ πρεσβευτὴν ἡμῶν θερμότατον.
