HOLY HIEROMARTYR POLYCARP ― BISHOP OF SMYRNA
Uncovering of Relics of Blessed Elderess MATRONA the Blind
Troparion of ST POLYCARP ― Tone 4
Thy name was verified by thy works,/ O wise Hieromartyr Polycarp./ Thou wast a fruitful olive tree in the house of the Lord,/ and dost nourish the Church with the spiritual bounty of thy words and deeds./ Thou dost intercede for our souls, O hierarch and steadfast Prize-winner.
Troparion of ST POLYCARP ― Tone 4
As thou didst share in the ways of the apostles/ and didst occupy their throne,/ thou didst find thine activity to be a passage to divine vision,/ O divinely inspired one./ Wherefore, ordering the word of truth,/ thou didst suffer for the Faith even to the shedding of thy blood.// O hieromartyr Polycarp, entreat Christ God, that our souls be saved.
Apolytikion of ST POLYCARP ― Tone 4
As a sharer of the ways and a successor to the throne of the Apostles, O inspired of God, thou foundest discipline to be a means of ascent to divine vision. Wherefore, having rightly divided the word of truth, thou didst also contest for the Faith even unto blood, O Hieromartyr Polycarp. Intercede with Christ our God that our souls be saved.
Troparion of ST POLYCARP ― 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 Polycarp, entreat Christ God to save our souls.
Ἅγιος ΠΟΛΎΚΑΡΠΟΣ ― Ἀπολυτίκιον ― Ἦχος δ´
Καί τρόπων μέτοχος, καί θρόνων διάδοχος, τῶν Ἀποστόλων γενόμενος, τήν πρᾶξιν εὗρες θεόπνευστε, εἰς θεωρίας ἐπίβασιν· διά τοῦτο τόν λόγον τῆς ἀληθείας ὀρθοτομῶν, καί τῇ πίστει ἐνήθλησας μέχρις αἵματος, Ἱερομάρτυς Πολύκαρπε· πρέσβευε Χριστῷ τῷ Θεῷ, σωθῆναι τάς ψυχάς ἡμῶν.
Ἅγιος ΠΟΛΎΚΑΡΠΟΣ ― Ἀπολυτίκιον ― Ἦχος δ´. Ταχὺ προκατάλαβε
Τὴν κλῆσιν τοῖς ἔργοις σου, ἐπισφραγίσας σοφέ, ἐλαία κατάκαρπος, ὤφθης ἐν οἴκῳ Θεοῦ, Πολύκαρπε ἔνδοξε· σὺ γὰρ ὡς Ἱεράρχης, καὶ στερρὸς Ἀθλοφόρος, τρέφεις τὴν Ἐκκλησίαν, λογικῇ εὐκαρπίᾳ, πρεσβεύων Ἱερομάρτυς, ὑπὲρ τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν.

Ἅγιος ΠΟΛΎΚΑΡΠΟΣ ― Κοντάκιον ― Ἦχος δ´. Ἐπεφάνης σήμερον
Καρπούς τούς λογικούς, τῷ Κυρίῳ προσφέρων, Πολύκαρπε σοφέ, ἀρετῶν δι᾽ ἐνθέων, ἐδείχθης ἀξιόθεος, Ἱεράρχα μακάριε· ὅθεν σήμερον, οἱ φωτισθέντες σοῖς λόγοις, ἀνυμνοῦμέν σου, τήν ἀξιέπαινον μνήμην, Θεόν μεγαλύνοντες.

Ἅγιος ΠΟΛΎΚΑΡΠΟΣ ― Μεγαλυνάριον
Φοῖνιξ ἀνεδείχθης καρποτελής, ὡς καρποφορίαν, περιφέρων θεουργικήν, τὴν τῶν Ἀποστόλων, ἀμέσως κοινωνίαν, δι’ ἧς ἐκτρέφεις κόσμον, Πάτερ Πολύκαρπε.

Prayer to ST MATRONA
We humbly approach you, Saint Matrona, for you are approachable by all those who repent and who request your counsel and healing. We are not worthy, but our unworthiness motivates us to seek your blessed intercession and to praise God for your healing of our spiritual, mental, and physical infirmities. We are suffering in numerous ways — due to our own conduct and our character defects, due to severe hardships and problems which we encounter in daily living, and due to the resentments of the unrepentant and the unbelievers. Saint Matrona, help us to overcome the world through Jesus Christ and through recourse to His holy Mother. When the moment arrives, may we depart this life with trust in your intercession, with hope in the Theotokos who is the “Searcher of the Lost”, and with faith in Jesus Christ. Amen.
