Στολὴν τὴν ἔνθεον, ἀμφιεσάμενος, στῦλος ὁλόφωτος, ὤφθης τῆς πίστεως, τῶν Ἀποστόλων ἐν Σιών, τὴν χάριν κεκληρωμένος· ὅθεν ἐνδιέπρεψας, εὐσέβειας τοῖς δόγμασι, καὶ πιστῶς ἐσκόρπισας, τῆς σοφίας τὸ τάλαντον. Καὶ νῦν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἐκδυσώπει, Κύριλλε Πάτερ Ἱεράρχα.

Κανόνα πίστεως, καὶ εἰκόνα πραότητος, ἐγκρατείας διδάσκαλον, ἀνέδειξε σε τῇ ποίμνῃ σου, ἡ τῶν πραγμάτων ἀλήθεια· διὰ τοῦτο ἐκτήσω τῇ ταπεινώσει τὰ ὑψηλά, τῇ πτωχείᾳ τὰ πλούσια. Πάτερ Ἱεράρχα Κύριλλε, πρέσβευε Χριστῷ τῷ θεῷ, σωθῆναι τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν.
Apolytikion of St Edward Tone 4
Celebrating the newly manifest commemoration of the holy King Edward, who shone forth of old in the virtues and suffered undeservedly we all bow down before the Icon of his honoured countenance and in gladness cry out: Truly Thou art wonderful in Thy Saints, O God.
Troparion of St Maria Tone 4
You became a bride of Christ, O venerable Mother, * and offered your body and soul to Him as a living sacrifice. * You exposed the evil side of humanity's ways * by allowing the light of the Resurrection to shine forth from you. * We celebrate your memory in love. * O Martyr and Confessor Maria, * pray to Christ our God that He may save our souls.
Troparion of St Nikolai Tone 8
O golden-tongued preacher proclaiming the risen Christ, / Everlasting guide of the cross-bearing Serbian people, / Resounding harp of the Holy Spirit, and dear to monastics who rejoice in you, / Pride and boast of the priesthood, teacher of repentance, master for all nations, / Guide of those in the army of Christ as they pray to God, / Holy Nikolai teacher in America and pride of the Serbian people, / With all the saints, implore the only Lover of mankind / To grant us peace and joy in his heavenly kingdom!
Troparion of St Nikolai 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 Nikolai, / entreat Christ our God / that our souls may be saved.
Troparion of St Lazarus Tone 1
Thou didst give a pledge of the general resurrection before Thy Passion, O Christ our God, by raising Lazarus from the dead. Therefore, we too, like the children, carry the symbols of victory and cry to Thee, the Vanquisher of death: Hosanna in the Heights! Blessed is He Who comes in the Name of the Lord.
Troparion of St Lazarus Tone 1
By raising Lazarus from the dead before Your passion, / You did confirm the universal Resurrection, O Christ God! / Like the children with the palms of victory, / We cry out to You, O Vanquisher of death; / Hosanna in the Highest! / Blessed is He that comes in the Name of the Lord!
Troparion of St Lazarus Tone 1
In Confirming the common Resurrection, O Christ God, Thou didst raise up Lazarus from the dead before Thy Passion. Wherefore, we also, like the children, bearing the symbols of victory, cry to Thee, the Vanquisher of death: Hosanna in the highest; blessed is He that cometh in the Name of the Lord.

With your lips, O wise Cyril, / And through divine inspiration / You enlightened your people / To the worship of the one Trinity, / Undivided in essence, yet divided in Hypostases. / Wherefore rejoicing, we celebrate your all-holy memory, / Offering you as our intercessor before God.
Kontakion of St Cyril of Jerusalem Tone 3
Thy divine words for the Church of Christ/ are endowed with authority from heaven;/ in teaching us the knowledge of Truth/ thou didst reveal the radiance of holiness./ And by thy intercessions thou dost heal our sufferings,/ O godly-minded Father Cyril.

Φερωνύμος γέγονε, τῇ τοῦ Χριστοῦ Ἐκκλησία, ὁ φωσφόρος λόγος σου, κῦρος οὐράνιον Πάτερ· γνῶσιν γάρ τῆς ἀληθείας Πάτερ διδάσκων, ἔλλαμψιν, ἠθῶν ὁσίων καθυπογράφεις, καί παθῶν βραβεύεις λύσιν, τῇ σῇ πρεσβείᾳ, θεόφρον Κύριλλε.
Kondakion of St Maria Tone 6
You became an instrument of divine love, O holy martyr Maria, * and taught us to love Christ with all our being. * You conquered evil by not submitting yourself into the hands of the destroyer of souls. * You drank from the cup of suffering. * The Creator accepted your death above any other sacrifice * and crowned you with the laurels of victory with His mighty hand. * Pray fervently that nothing may hinder us from fulfilling God's will * because you are a bright star shining in darkness!
Kontakion of St Nikolai Tone 3

Μεγαλυνάριον. Ἅγιος Κύριλλος Πατριάρχης Ἱεροσολύμων
Ἔλλαμψιν πλουτήσας τὴν μυστικήν, ἐν Σιὼν τῇ θείᾳ, ὡς καθάρας σου τὴν ψυχήν, ἐν τῇ Ἐκκλησίᾳ δαβιτικῶς Ὁσίων, ἐκλάμπεις ὥσπερ λύχνος, παμμάκαρ Κύριλλε.

PRAYER TO BLESSED HOSIOSMARTYRESS MARIA OF RAVENSBRUCK
O Blessed Maria, while you lived among us, you showed us that obedience to the will of God is the path to the Kingdom of heaven. Though the world was engulfed in war and had forgotten the ways of God, you never ceased to care for the sick, the homeless, the weak and the spiritually lost. You did not let the coldness of hatred enter into your being, but showed compassion toward all God's children. Now, O faithful witness of Christ our God, look down from your heavenly abode upon those who raise their voice to you in prayer. Intercede for us before the Throne of God, that we may be strengthened in love for God and love for our neighbor. Grant us the grace to see God's image in every human being. Through word and deed, you taught us to be patient in suffering, joyful in time of adversity, and to put one's trust in God's providence at all times, at every place and in each circumstance during our lifetime. Grant us to see our countless voluntary and involuntary sins. Renew our faith and trust in the Living God and His forgiveness. At the hour of our death, take us by the hand, granting us the courage to stand before the awesome judgement seat of Christ. May we be counted worthy of the joy of the eternal Kingdom awaiting all those Who love Christ with their whole hearts. Amen. We extol you, O Blessed Martyr Maria, and we honor your precious sufferings, which you endured for the sake of Christ our God.
