ST NICHOLAS Planas
Troparion of ST HESYCHIOS ― Tone 1
Thou didst fling away the honours of the world/ and joyfully profess the glory of Christ./ In the power of the Spirit thou didst endure shame/ as though it were an honour,/ and meet death by drowning, O glorious Hesychios,/ to rejoice forever with Christ the Wellspring of life.
Apolytikion of ST HESYCHIOS ― Tone 4
Thy Martyr, O Lord, in his courageous contest for Thee received the prize of the crowns of incorruption and life from Thee, our immortal God. For since he possessed Thy strength, he cast down the tyrants and wholly destroyed the demons' strengthless presumption. O Christ God, by his prayers, save our souls, since Thou art merciful.
Ἅγιος ἩΣΎΧΙΟΣ ―Ἀπολυτίκιον ― Ἦχος α´. Τὸν τάφον σου Σωτήρ
Ἄξιας κοσμικῆς, ἀπορρίψας τὸ κλέος, τὴν δόξαν τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ὡμολόγησας χαίρων, Ἡσύχιε πανένδοξε, Ἀθλητῶν ἐγκαλλώπισμα· ὅθεν ἔφερες, ὥσπερ τιμὴν τὴν αἰσχύνην, καὶ τὸν θάνατον, ἐν πνιγμονῇ τῶν ὑδάτων, δυνάμει τοῦ Πνεύματος.
Ἅγιος ἩΣΎΧΙΟΣ ―Ἀπολυτίκιον ― Ἦχος δ´
Ὁ Μάρτυς σου Κύριε, ἐν τῇ ἀθλήσει αὐτοῦ, τὸ στέφος ἐκομίσατο τῆς ἀφθαρσίας, ἐκ σοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν· ἔχων γὰρ τὴν ἰσχύν σου, τοὺς τυράννους καθεῖλεν ἔθραυσε καὶ δαιμόνων τὰ ἀνίσχυρα θράση. Αὐτοῦ ταῖς ἱκεσίαις Χριστέ ὁ Θεός, σῶσον τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν.

Troparion of ST FERONA ― Tone 4
Blessed ascetic of Iona's isle,/ thou didst strengthen the foundation of thy kinsman Colum Cille, O righteous Ferona,/ bringing stability to Christ's holy Church and salvation to men's souls.
• • •
Troparion of ST THEODOTUS ― Tone 4
By sharing in the ways of the Apostles, / you became a successor to their throne. / Through the practice of virtue, you found the way to divine contemplation, O inspired one of God; / by teaching the word of truth without error, you defended the Faith, even to the shedding of your blood. / Hieromartyr Theodotus, entreat Christ God to save our souls.
• • •
Troparion of The "REIGNING" Icon ― Tone 4
Seeking the city of Sion, we flee today beneath thy protection, O pure Virgin, and none can assail us, for there is no city as powerful as the one of Him Who is God, and no other might to equal that of the mercy of the Virgin Mistress.
• • •
Troparion of ST GISTILIAN Tone 1
Following the commandments of Christ thou didst instruct many in the True Faith, O Father Gistilian, establishing churches and monasteries to serve the faithful. Pray for us, O Saint, that we may profit by thine example for the salvation of our souls.
●
Kontakion of ST HESYCHIOS ― Tone 4
When thou didst follow in the steps of the Martyrs, thou didst ascend unto the height of divine love, which made thee Godlike, O most wise Hesychius; when thou didst forsake the court of a king that was earthly, thou wast honoured in the courts of the King of the Angels; and cast into the river, thou didst find the living water of true and eternal life.
Kontakion of ST HESYCHIOS ― Tone 6
Thou didst follow in the athletes' footsteps/ and ascend to God, deified by His love./ Thou didst prove to be equal with the assembly of martyrs on high/ in renouncing all things passing./ When thou wast cast into the river/ thou didst attain to the Source of Living Waters,/ Holy Athlete Hesychios,/ fervent intercessor for the faithful.
Ἅγιος ἩΣΎΧΙΟΣ ―Κοντάκιον ― Ἦχος πλ. β´. Τήν ὑπέρ ἡμῶν
Τούς ἀθλητικούς ἀγῶνας ἰχνηλατήσας, πρός θεουργικήν, ἀγάπην ἀνεπτερώθης, καί τῆς ἄνω Συγκλήτου, ἐδείχθης ὁμότιμος, ἀρνησάμενος τήν πρόσκαιρον, καί ζωῆς πρός ὕδωρ ἔφθασας, ποταμοῦ ῥιφείς τοῖς ῥεύμασιν, Ἡσύχιε Ἀθλητά, εὐσεβῶν πρεσβευτά.
• • •
Kontakion of ST FERONA ― Tone 2
In the Western Isles the flame of faith shone brightly/ by thy tireless and ascetic labours,/ O bastion of Orthodoxy, great Father Ferona./ Wherefore we bless thy name, praying for strength/ to show forth the same steadfastness in our lives.
• • •
Kontakion of ST THEODOTUS ― Tone 3
You denounced the depths of false belief. / With the Orthodox faith you wounded the delusion of idolatry. / As a godly, whole burnt sacrifice, / You refreshed the ends of the earth with your wonders! / O holy hierarch Theodotus, our father, / Entreat Christ God to grant us great mercy!
• • •
Kontakion of The "REIGNING" Icon ― Tone 8
To thee, the champion leader, do we offer hymns of victory, for thy might hath been given to us, and we are not afraid; for our salvation is not of this world, but we are defended by the lovingkindness of the all-exalted Mistress. Today we rejoice therein, for the Mistress hath come to watch over her land.
• • •
Kontakion of ST GISTILIAN ― Tone 5
Truly we hymn thee, O Father Gistilian, for thou didst labour to strengthen the church in Wales, giving thy life to this noble and God-pleasing cause. Ever blessing thy memory, we implore thy prayers for us sinners.
• • •
Kontakion of ST NICHOLAS Planas ― Tone 3
Humble of spirit and pure of heart, illustrious in life and dispassionate of a truth, wast thou, O wise one. Thou didst illumine all by the virtues and dost grant grace unto them that draw nigh unto thee; and by thine intercessions, thou dost heal them that call upon thee, O Father Nicholas.

Ἅγιος ἩΣΎΧΙΟΣ ― Μεγαλυνάριον
Βουλὰς ἀσεβούντων ὑπεριδών, ἐν βουλῇ Κυρίου, ἐπορεύθης θεοπρεπῶς, καὶ ἀνδραγαθήσας, Ἡσύχιε ἐν ἄθλοις, λαμπρῶς ἐμεγαλύνθης, δόξῃ τῇ κρείττονι.
