Let us the faithful honour Nektarios,/ offspring of Silyvria and guardian of Aegina,/ who has appeared in latter years, a true friend of virtue, as a God-filled servant of Christ./ For he dispenses all manner of healing to those who with reverence cry out:/Glory to Christ Who has glorified thee; glory to Him Who has worked wonders in thee:/ glory to Him who through thee has wrought healing for all.

Troparion of SS ONESIPHORUS and PORPHYRIUS — Tone 3
You sought the delights of heaven/ and became martyrs of the Lord,/ O renowned Onesiphorus and Porphyrius./ Wherefore you drove God's golden chariot on the heavenly course./ O divine Martyrs, entreat Christ our God to grant us His great mercy.
Troparion of SS ONESIPHORUS and PORPHYRIUS — Tone 4
Your holy martyrs, Onesiphorus and Porphyrius, 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!
Troparion of SS ONESIPHORUS and PORPHYRIUS — Tone 4
In their sufferings, O Lord,/ Thy martyrs received imperishable crowns from Thee our God;/ for, possessed of Thy might,/ they set at nought the tormentors and crushed the feeble audacity of the demons.// By their supplications save Thou our souls.

Θείαν ὄνησιν, ἰχνηλατοῦντες, πορφυρίζοντα, ὤφθητε κρίνα, Ὀνησιφόρε κλεινὲ καὶ Πορφύριε· ὅθεν ὡς ἅρμα τοῦ Λόγου χρυσήλατον, πρὸς τὴν οὐράνιον νύσσαν ἠλάσατε. Θεῖοι Μάρτυρες, Χριστῷ τῷ Θεῷ πρεσβεύσατε, δωρήσασθε ἡμῖν τὸ μέγα ἔλεος.
Ἀπολυτίκιον ― Ἦχος δ´. Ταχύ προκατάλαβε
Οἱ Μάρτυρές σου, Κύριε, ἐν τῇ ἀθλήσει αὐτῶν, στεφάνους ἐκομίσαντο τῆς ἀφθαρσίας, ἔκ σοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, σχόντες γὰρ τὴν ἰσχύν σου, τοὺς τυράννους καθεῖλον, ἔθραυσαν καὶ δαιμόνων, τὰ ἀνίσχυρα θράση. Αὐτῶν ταῖς ἰκεσίαις, Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός, σῶσον τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν.
Troparion of ST BENEN ― Tone 1
O best loved disciple and successor of Ireland's Enlightener,/ thy God-blessed witness for our saving faith is sorely needed,/ most reverend Hierarch Benen.

Troparion of ST PABO ― Tone 8
Revered "Pillar of Northern Britain" and Light of Monastics, O Father Pabo,/ leaving thy family and homeland, thou didst inspire us, O holy one,/ to respect the monastic virtues which attain to the salvation of souls.
Troparion of ST MATRONA — Tone 8
In thee, O mother, that which was created according to the image of God was manifestly saved./ For accepting thy cross thou didst follow after Christ,/ and praying thou didst learn to disdain the flesh,/ for thou didst transcend it to take care of thine immortal soul.// Wherefore, with the angels doth thy soul rejoice, O venerable Matrona.
Ἀπολυτίκιον τῆς Ὁσίας ― Ἦχος πλ. δ´
Ἐν σοὶ Μῆτερ ἀκριβῶς διεσώθη τὸ κατ᾽ εἰκόνα· λαβοῦσα γὰρ τὸν σταυρόν, ἠκολούθησας τῷ Χριστῷ, καὶ πράττουσα ἐδίδασκες, ὑπερορᾷν μὲν σαρκός, παρέρχεται γάρ· ἐπιμελεῖσθαι δὲ ψυχῆς, πράγματος ἀθανάτoυ· διὸ καὶ μετὰ Ἀγγέλων συναγάλλεται, Ὁσία Ματρώνα τὸ πνεῦμά σου.

Ὁσία ΘΕΟΚΤΊΣΤΗ Ἀπολυτίκιον — Ἦχος γ’. Τὴν ὡραιότητα
Ἡ Λέσβος βλάστημα, θεῖόν σε κέκτηται, τοῖς δὲ ἀγῶσί σου, Πάρος ἡγίασται, καὶ τῷ σῶ σκήνει τῷ σεπτῷ, πεπλούτισται Ἰκαρία. Ὅθεν ὡς παρθένον σε, καὶ Ὁσίαν γεραίρομεν, καὶ ἐπιβοώμεθα, τὴν θερμὴν προστασίαν σου, ἣν δίδου τοῖς βοῶσί σοι Μῆτερ· χαίροις Ὁσία Θεοκτίστη.

Let us make haste to the Theotokos amid our misfortunes and fall down now before her holy icon, crying out with faith from the depths of our soul: Hearken quickly to our entreaty, O Virgin, in that thou art called she who is quick to hear. For thee do we, thy servants, have as a ready helper in our needs.
