Troparion of ST THECLA ― Tone 3
Inspired by the divine teacher's words/ thou wast inflamed with love for thy Creator./ Thou didst disdain all earthly pleasures/ and endure wild beasts and fire./ O glorious Thecla, companion of Paul,/ entreat thy divine Bridegroom/ to grant us His great mercy.
Troparion of ST THECLA ― Tone 3
Taught by the words of Paul, O Thecla, bride of God,/ and confirmed through faith by Peter, O divinely called one,/ thou wast shown to be the protomartyr and first sufferer among women./ Thou didst enter the flame as it were a place abloom with flowers,/ and the wild beasts and bulls stood in awe of thee,/ for thou didst arm thyself with the Cross.// Wherefore, O most lauded one, entreat Christ, that our souls be saved.
Apolytikion of ST THECLA ― Tone 4
You were enlightened by the words of Paul, O Bride of God, Thekla, and your faith was confirmed by Peter, O Chosen One of God.

O all-praised one, intercede before Christ God that our souls may be saved.

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.

O all-blessed Father Silouan, / Flaming zealot of the seraphim’s love for the Lord / And fervent imitator of Jeremiah who wept for the people, / Hearing the call of the Mother of the Lord of Hosts, / With wise courage you spewed out the sinful serpent / And withdrew from the snares of the world to the mountain of Athos, / Where in labors and prayer, joined with tears, / In abundance you acquired the grace of the holy Spirit with which our hearts are enflamed. / Being strengthened by you, we cry out with compunction: / My Lord, my Life and the Joy of your saint, / Save the world and us from all cruel things!
