LEAVETAKING OF THE FEAST OF THE NATIVITY OF OUR LORD
Righteous JOSEPH the Betrothed, Holy Righteous DAVID the King, and JAMES Brother of the Lord // MOVABLE HOLIDAY ON THE SUNDAY AFTER THE NATIVITY OF OUR LORD GOD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST //
ST MELANIA the Younger — the Roman
ST DOSITHEUS Vasich — metropolitan of Zagreb
Troparion of the Feast — Tone 4
Thy Nativity, O Christ our God,/ has shone to the world as the light of wisdom./ For by it those who worshipped the stars/ were taught by a star to adore Thee,/ the Sun of Righteousness,/ and to know Thee, the Orient from on high./ O Lord, glory to Thee.
Troparion of SS JOSEPH, DAVID and JAMES — Tone 2
Proclaim the wonder, O Joseph, / to David, the ancestor of God: / you saw a Virgin great with Child, / you gave glory with the shepherds, / you worshipped with the Magi, / you received the news from the angel. / Pray to Christ God to save our souls!
Apolytikion of ST MELANIA the Younger — Tone 4
You tread to the end of the path of virtue and were betrothed to God the Word. You rejoiced in the contest, O Anysia; and you, O Melania, shone with the light of dispassion, together, radiant with virtue in the world. And now we ask you to implore Christ the Lord that he may be gracious to us!
Apolytikion ST MELANIA the Younger — Tone 4
In your fervent desire for the angelic life, you renounced the comforts of this earth. In watchfulness you practiced sobriety and deep humility. Therefore, most wise Melania, you became a pure vessel filled by the Holy Spirit, who adorned you with gifts, attracting all to your divine fervor, leading them to the Master and Savior of our souls.
Apolytikion ST MELANIA the Younger — Tone 4
You tread to the end of the path of virtue and were betrothed to God the Word. You rejoiced in the contest, O Anysia; and you, O Melania, shone with the light of dispassion, together, radiant with virtue in the world. And now we ask you to implore Christ the Lord that he may be gracious to us!
Apolytikion ST MELANIA the Younger — Plagal Tone 4
In thee the image was preserved with exactness, O Mother; for taking up thy cross, thou didst follow Christ, and by thy deeds thou didst teach us to overlook the flesh, for it passeth away, but to attend to the soul since it is immortal. Wherefore, O righteous Melania, thy spirit rejoiceth with the Angels.
Troparion ST MELANIA the Younger — Tone 8
The image of God was truly preserved in you, O Mother, / 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, O holy Mother Melania, rejoices with the angels.
Ὁσία ΜΕΛΆΝΗ Ἀπολυτίκιον — Ἦχος δ’. Ταχὺ προκατάλαβε
Τοῦ πλούτου σκορπίσασα, τὰς μυριάδας σεμνή, τὸν πλοῦτον τῆς χάριτος, δι’ ἐναρέτου ζωῆς, Ὁσία ἐπλούτησας· σὺ γὰρ δι’ ἐγκρατείας, καὶ ζωῆς ἰσαγγέλου, σκεῦος τοῦ Παρακλήτου, ἐπαξίως ἐδείχθης· διὸ σὲ μακαρίζομεν, Μελάνη θεόληπτε.
Troparion of ST DOSITHEUS — Tone 8
O champion of Orthodoxy, teacher of purity and of true worship, / enlightener of the universe and adornment of hierarchs. / All-wise father Dositheus, you have enlightened all by your teachings. / Interceed with Christ God to save our souls.

Kontakion of the Feast — Tone 3
Today the Virgin gives birth to the Transcendent One,/ and the earth offers a cave to the Unapproachable One./ Angels with Shepherds glorify Him,/ the wise men journey with the star;/ since for our sake the eternal God was born as a little child.
Kontakion of SS JOSEPH, DAVID and JAMES — Tone 3
Today godly David is filled with joy; / Joseph and James offer praise. / The glorious crown of their kinship with Christ fills them with great joy. / They sing praises to the One ineffably born on earth, / and they cry out: “O Compassionate One, save those who honor You!”
Kontakion ST MELANIA the Younger — Tone 3
Like a lamp with two flames you illumine Christ’s Church with mystical radiance. In your martyr’s contest you brought forth fruits a hundred-fold, O Anysia; and you, O Melania, were resplendent in asceticism. You were found worthy of the incorruptible life of the blessed!
Kontakion ST MELANIA the Younger — Tone 3
As a two-fold lamp you illumine the Church of Christ / with truly mystical radiance. / You brought forth a hundred-fold fruit through your contest, O Anysia; / and you shone forth in asceticism, O Melania. / You were both found worthy of the incorruptible life of the righteous.
Kontakion ST MELANIA the Younger — Tone 3
As a doubly-shining lamp, of truly mystical brightness, do ye shine upon the Church, like a high-towering beacon: thou with beams of martyr's glory, O Anysia; thou with rays of great ascetic deeds, O Melania. Now together ye are honoured, by Christ your Bridegroom, for your travails in His Name.
Kontakion ST MELANIA the Younger — Tone 4
Being illumined in thy soul with the bright rays of Him that hone forth unto us from a Virgin, with virtues wast thou brilliant, O all-lauded one; for having dispersed on earth thy corruptible riches, thou didst store up for thyself greater riches in Heaven; and in ascetic labours thou didst shine; hence, O Melania, with longing we honour thee.
Ὁσία ΜΕΛΆΝΗ Κοντάκιον — Ἦχος πλ. δ’. Τῇ ὑπερμάχῳ
Τῇ ἰσαγγέλῳ πολιτείᾳ σου δοξάσασα
Μῆτερ Μελάνη τὸν λαμπρῶς σε θαυμαστώσαντα
Οὐρανίου κατηξίωσαι εὐκληρίας.
Ἀλλ’ ὡς θείας ἀπολαύουσα λαμπρότητος
Σκοτασμοῦ ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμᾶς ἀπάλλαξον
Τοὺς βοῶντάς σοι, χαίροις Μῆτερ ἰσάγγελε.

Ὁσία ΜΕΛΆΝΗ Μεγαλυνάριον
Ἔρωι τῷ θείῳ τὴν σὴν ψυχήν, πτερώσασα Μῆτερ, ἠγωνίσω ἀσκητικῶς, καὶ ἀντί τοῦ πλούτου, τοῦ ἐπιγείου εὗρες, Μελάνη μακαρία, ὄλβον οὐράνιον.
