Troparion for the EVE OF THE THEOPHANY ― Tone 4
The river Jordan was once turned back by Elisha's mantle when Elijah was taken up,/ and the waters were divided hither and thither./ The watery path became dry for him as a type of baptism/ whereby we cross the flowing stream of life./ Christ has appeared in the Jordan to sanctify the waters.
Troparion for the EVE OF THE THEOPHANY — Tone 4
Of old, the river Jordan / turned back before Elisha’s mantle at Elijah’s ascension. / The waters were parted in two / and the waterway became a dry path. / This is truly a symbol of baptism / by which we pass through this mortal life. / Christ has appeared in the Jordan to sanctify the waters!
Troparion for the EVE OF THE THEOPHANY — Tone 4
Once, the River Jordan was turned back by the mantle of Elisha when Elijah was borne aloft, and the waters were parted on either side, and the path which before was wet became dry for him, as a true image of baptism, whereby we pass through the flow of life. Christ hath appeared in the Jordan to sanctify the waters.
Troparion of SS THEOPEMPTOS and THEONAS — Tone 4
Your holy martyr Theopemptus, O Lord, / Through his sufferings has received an incorruptible crown from You, our God. / For having Your strength, he laid low his adversaries, / And shattered the powerless boldness of demons. / Through his intercessions, save our souls!
Apolytikion of SS THEOPEMPTOS and THEONAS — Tone 4
Arrayed in the robes of the Priesthood, thou dost put the enemy to flight by thy contest, O inspired Hierarch Theopemptos. Wherefore thou didst bring glorious Theonas to the knowledge of the Truth when he turned to the Lord. Pray together with him for those who honour thy contest.
Ἅγιοι ΘΕΌΠΕΜΠΤΟΣ καὶ ΘΕΩΝᾶΣ Ἀπολυτίκιον — Ἦχος δ'. Ὁ ὑψωθεὶς ἐν τῷ Σταυρῷ
Ἱερωσύνης τῇ στολῇ διαπρέπων, ἀθλητικῶς τὸν δυσμενῆ ἐτροπώσω, ὡς Ἱεράρχης ἔνθεος Θεόπεμπτε· ὅθεν πρὸς ἐπίγνωσιν, ἀληθείας προσάγεις, Θεωνᾶν τὸν ἔνδοξον, προσελθόντα Κυρίῳ· μεθ’ οὗ δυσώπει πάντοτε σοφέ, ὑπὲρ τῶν πίστει, τιμώντων τοὺς ἄθλους σου.
Troparion of ST RUMAN — Tone 5
Thou didst dazzle us with a jewel, a treasure,/ a pearl of great price, O righteous Father Ruman,/ in the God-pleasing life and asceticism of the desert./ Thy selfless devotion, love of animals/ and patience in the face of calumny are our guiding lights./ Wherefore, O Saint, pray that the unprofitable servants who hymn thee/ be granted great mercy.
Troparion of ST APOLLINARIA — Tone 4
Your lamb Apollinaria, / calls out to You, O Jesus, in a loud voice: / “I love You, my Bridegroom, / and in seeking You, I endure suffering. / In baptism I was crucified so that I might reign in You, and I died so that I might live with You. / Accept me as a pure sacrifice, / for I have offered myself in love.” / Through her prayers save our souls, since You are merciful.
Apolytikion of ST GREGORY of Acretia ― Tone 3
Beautifying a brilliant life, a precious vessel of divine grace and model of virtue you were shown to be through temperance, Venerable Gregory, holy offspring of Crete, the sacred boast of the Monastery of Akritas. And now cease not to intercede, Father, on behalf of those who honor you.
Ὅσιος ΓΡΗΓΌΡΙΟΣ ὁ ἐΝ ἈΚΡΊΤᾳ Ἀπολυτίκιον ― Ἦχος γ’. Τὴν ὡραιότητα
Βίου λαμπρότητι καλλωπιζόμενος, σκεῦος πολύτιμον τῆς θείας Χάριτος καὶ ἀρετῶν ὑπογραμμὸς ἐδείχθης δι’ ἐγκρατείας, Ὅσιε Γρηγόριε, Κρήτης ἅγιον βλάστημα, τῆς Ἀκρίτα Μάνδρας δὲ ἱερὸν ἐγκαλώπισμα. Καὶ νῦν μὴ διαλίπῃς πρεσβεύων, Πάτερ, ὑπὲρ τῶν σὲ τιμώντων.
Apolytikion of ST ROMANUS of Karpenisi ― Tone 4
You first struggled ascetically on Athos, and received the Divine will through the teachings of the Venerable Akakios, and hastened towards the trials of martyrdom and death, and you, O Romanos, stand beside the crown-bestowing Christ, interceding for us, O all-glorious one.
Troparion of ST SYNCLETICA
Adorned with wisdom and grace, O blessed Syncletica, Thou wast unshaken by hostile attacks. Ever pray for those who celebrate thy memory.
Ἁγία ΣΥΓΚΛΗΤΙΚΉ Ἀπολυτίκιον ― Ἦχος δ'. Ταχὺ προκατάλαβε
Σοφίᾳ καὶ χάριτι, κεκοσμημένη σεμνή, ἀκλόνητος ἔμεινας, ὡς ὁ Ἰὼβ ὁ κλεινός, ἐχθροῦ ἐπίθεσιν· ὅθεν Συγκλητική σε, ἡ οὐράνιος δόξα, δέδεκται μετὰ τέλος, ὡς παρθένον φρονίμην· ἐν ᾗ τῶν μεμνημένων σου ἀεὶ μνημόνευε.

Kontakion for the EVE OF THE THEOPHANY — Tone 2 "Seeking the highest"
O Christ, Who in Thy compassion and infinite mercy takest away the multitude of all our transgressions, Thou comest as a man to be baptized in the waters of the Jordan, clothing me in the raiment of the ancient glory of which I was cruelly stripped bare.

In the streams of the Jordan the Lord crieth out to John today:/ Fear not to baptize Me,// for I have come to save Adam the first-created!
Kontakion of SS THEOPEMPTOS and THEONAS — Tone 2
As priest of the Mysteries and God-like minister of grace, thou didst guide Theonas in martyrdom and bring him to the Faith, O Theopemptos. Together with him thou didst cry out in the stadium: Christ is the strength of the Martyrs.
Ἅγιοι ΘΕΌΠΕΜΠΤΟΣ καὶ ΘΕΩΝᾶΣ Κοντάκιον — Ἦχος β’. Τοὺς ἀσφαλεῖς
Ὡς ἱερεὺς, τῶν ἀπορρήτων ὅσιος, καὶ λειτουργὸς, θεοειδὴς τῆς χάριτος, μαρτυρίου τοῖς παλαίσμασι, μυσταγωγεῖς πρὶς πίστιν ἔνθεον, Θεόπεμπτε τὸν Θεωνᾶν τὸν ἔνδοξον, μεθ’ οὗ ἐν τῷ σταδίῳ ἀνεκραύγαζες· Χριστὸς τῶν Μαρτύρων τὸ ἑδραίωμα.
Kontakion of ST RUMAN ― Tone 5
Today we keep festival in thy honour, holy Ruman,/ for caring nothing for thyself/ thou didst face danger, false accusation and misdirected piety/ for the love of Him Who is the Creator of all things.

Having found your holy relics as healing for our souls, We faithful call out to you with a loud voice: / “O reknowned Virgin Martyr Apollinaria, / Intercede to Christ God for us all!”
Ἁγία ΣΥΓΚΛΗΤΙΚΉ Κοντάκιον ― Ἦχος γ’. Ἡ Παρθένος σήμερον
Ἀρετῶν ἐκλάμψασα, ταῖς οὐρανίαις ἀκτῖσιν, ὡς λαμπὰς ἀείφωτος, Συγκλιτικὴ θεοφόρε, ἤμβλυνας, τοῦ παλαμναίου ἐχθροῦ τὰ κέντρα, ἴθυνας πρὸς τὸν νυμφῶνα τῆς ἄνω δόξης, δῆμον ἅγιον παρθένων, μεθ’ ὧν δυσώπει, ἐλεηθῆναι ἡμᾶς.
Kontakion of ST SYNCLETICA
Illustrious with rays of heavenly virtue, O Godbearing Syncletica thou didst blunt the goads of the ancient enemy, and bring a company of virgins to the bridal chamber. Together with them pray for us that we may find mercy.

Megalynarion of SS THEOPEMPTOS and THEONAS
Shining with the radiance of your contest, blessed Theopemptos, you illumined the divine Theonas towards life, through the power of a miracle, and having contested together, remember us.
Ἅγιοι ΘΕΌΠΕΜΠΤΟΣ καὶ ΘΕΩΝᾶΣ Μεγαλυνάριον
Αἴγλη διαλάμπων ἀθλητικῇ, Θεόπεμπτε μάκαρ, κατεφώτισας πρὸς ζωήν, Θεωνᾶν τὸν θεῖον, θαυμάτων ἐνεργείᾳ, μεθ’ οὗ καὶ συναθλήσας, ἡμῶν μνημόνευε.
Ἁγία ΣΥΓΚΛΗΤΙΚΉ Μεγαλυνάριον
Χαίροις τῶν παρθένων ἡ καλλονή, καὶ Ἰὼβ τοῦ θείου, ἐκμαγεῖον ἐν πειρασμοῖς· χαίροις οὐρανίου, συγκλήτου κληρονόμε, Συγκλητικὴ θεόφρον, Πνεύματος ὄργανον.
