Troparion of ST SIMEON ― Tone 4
As instructor of the divinely inspired doctrines/ thou didst train martyrs for contest by thy words and deeds./ O holy Hierarch Simeon,/ thou didst suffer with them and cry out to Christ while hastening to Him:/ We are counted as sheep for the slaughter for love of thee, O Saviour.
Apolytikion of ST SIMEON ― Plagal Tone 1
All the powers of Heaven were awestruck and amazed at the achievements and deeds of the holy Martyrs of Christ; for contending well in mortal bodies clothed with flesh, they overcame the fleshless foe by the power of the Cross and invisibly subdued him. And now they pray to the Lord, that He might bestow His mercy on our souls.
Ἅγιος ΣΥΜΕὼΝ καὶ οἱ σὺν αὐτῷ Μαρτυρήσαντες ― Ἀπολυτίκιον ― Ἦχος πλ. α´
Τῶν ἁγίων Μαρτύρων τά κατορθώματα, οὐρανῶν αἱ δυνάμεις ὑπερεθαύμασαν, ὅτι ἐν σώματι θνητῷ τόν ἀσώματον ἐχθρόν, τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ Σταυροῦ ἀγωνισάμενοι καλῶς, ἐνίκησαν ἀοράτως, καὶ νῦν πρεσβεύουσι τῷ Κυρίῳ, ἐλεηθῆναι τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν.
Ἅγιος ΣΥΜΕὼΝ καὶ οἱ σὺν αὐτῷ Μαρτυρήσαντες ― Ἀπολυτίκιον ― Ἦχος δ´. Ὁ ὑψωθεὶς ἐν τῷ Σταυρῷ
Ὡς ὑποφήτης τῶν ἐνθέων δογμάτων, μαρτυρικὸν συνασπισμὸν ἐπαλείφεις, λόγοις ὁμοῦ καὶ πράξεσι πρὸς ἄθλους ἱερούς· μεθ’ ὧν καὶ συνήθλησας, Συμεὼν Ἱεράρχα, καὶ Χριστῷ ἀνέδραμες, σὺν αὐτοῖς ἀνακράζων· Ἰδοὺ ἡμεῖς ὡς πρόβατα σφαγῆς, τῇ σῇ ἀγάπῃ, Σωτὴρ ἐλογίσθημεν.

Troparion of ST ZOZIMAS of Solovki ― Tone 4
O wise Father Zosimas, thou didst make the wilderness thy dwelling,/ intent on the Kingdom of Heaven./ Thou didst live as an earthly angel in fasting, vigil and prayer./ Thy abundant tears made the wilderness sprout and blossom./ As thou hast boldness with God, remember thy children.

Troparion of ST MACARIOS of Corinth ― Tone 1
Let us praise Macarios, Hierarch of Corinth, adornment of Chios,/ radiant in deed, word and prayer:/ he has received from God the power to heal/ and to cast out spirits./ Glory to the Father Who has chosen him; glory to the Son Who has exalted him;/ glory to the Holy Spirit Who through him works healings for all.

Δόξα τῷ σὲ δοξάσαντι Χριστῷ, δόξα τῷ σὲ στεφανώσαντι, δόξα τῷ τὰ ὀστᾶ σου πηγὴν θαυμάτων ἀναδείξαντι.

Apolytikion of Martyrs of Lesvos ― Tone 4
Having contended on Lesvos for the sake for Christ God, you have sanctified the island since the discovery of your sacred relics, O blessed ones; wherefore we honor you, O God-bearing Raphael, together with Nicholas and virgin Irene, as our divine protectors and intercessors with the Lord.
Ἀπολυτίκιον τοῦ Ἁγίου ΡΑΦΑΉΛ ― Ἦχος δ´. Ταχὺ προκατάλαβε
Ἐν Λέσβῳ, ἀθλήσαντες, ὑπὲρ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ, αὐτὴν ἡγιάσατε, τῇ τῶν Λειψάνων ὑμῶν, εὑρέσει μακάριοι. Ὅθεν ὑμᾶς τιμῶμεν, Ῥαφαὴλ θεοφόρε, ἅμα σὺν Νικολάῳ καὶ παρθένῳ Εἰρήνῃ, ὡς θείους ἡμῶν προστάτας καὶ πρέσβεις πρὸς Κύριον.

Τοῦ θείου Λειψάνου σου, τῇ ἀνευρέσει σοφέ, ἡ Λέσβος πεπλήρωται, τῆς ἐκ Θεοῦ δαψιλῶς, δοθείσης σοι χάριτος· σὺ γὰρ Ὁσιομάρτυς, Ῥαφαὴλ παραδόξως, φαίνῃ πλείστοις ἀνθρώποις, καὶ ἰάσεις παρέχεις· διὸ τοῖς θαυμασίοις σου, πιστοὶ εὐφραινόμεθα.

Troparion of the Iveron Icon ― Tone 1
The audacity of those who hate the image of the Lord and the might of the impious came godlessly to Nicaea, and emissaries inhumanly interrogated the widow who piously venerated the icon of the Mother of God; but at night, she and her son cast the icon into the sea, crying out: "Glory to thee, O pure one, for the trackless sea hath given thee its breast! Glory to thy straight journey, O thou who alone art incorrupt!"
Troparion of the Iveron Icon ― Tone 7
From thy Holy Icon, O Lady Theotokos, blessed myrrh has flowed abundantly. Thou hast thereby consoled those, in exile, faithful unto thee, and hast enlighten the unbelievers by thy Son's light. Therefore O Lady, with tears we bow down to thee. Be merciful to us in the hour of judgment. Lest having received thy mercy we be punished as those who have been contemptuous of it. But grant us through thy prayers to bring forth spiritual fruit, and save our souls.

Wounded with love for Christ thou didst take His Cross on thy shoulders./ In divine armour with unceasing prayer as thy lance/ thou didst hew down the legions of demons./ So we cry to thee: Rejoice, Father Zosimas, holy adornment of monks.

Kontakion of ST MACARIOS of Corinth ― Tone 3
The Island of Chios sings praises to Macarios, Hierarch of Corinth:/ In heaven the Hierarchs receive him;/ the Martyrs, for he trained them for contest;/ the Ascetics, for he was of their number./ Through his prayers, O Christ our God, save our souls.

Even though thy holy icon was cast into the sea by the widow who was unable to save it from the foe, O Theotokos, yet hath it been shown to be the preserver of Mount Athos and the gatekeeper of the Monastery of Iveron, frightening away the enemy and delivering from all misfortunes and dangers them that honor thee in our homeland.
