Troparion of the Forefeast of The Annunciation ― Tone 4
Today is the prelude of joy for the universe! / Let us anticipate the feast and celebrate with exultation: / Gabriel is on his way to announce the glad tidings to the Virgin; / He is ready to cry out in fear and wonder: / Rejoice, O Full of Grace, the Lord is with You!
ΠΡΟΕΌΡΤΙΟΝ ― Ἀπολυτίκιον ― Ἦχος δ´
Σήμερον τῆς παγκοσμίου χαρᾶς τά προοίμια, τήν πρoεόρτιον ᾆσαι προτρέπεται· ἰδού γάρ Γαβριήλ παραγίνεται, τῇ Παρθένῳ κομίζων τὸ Εὐαγγέλιον, καί πρὸς αὐτήν ἐκβοήσεται· Χαῖρε Κεχαριτωμένη, ὁ Κύριος μετά σοῦ.

Troparion of ST ZACHARIAS ― Tone 3
Thy life of fasting, O blessed Zacharias,/ has given thee power over demons./ We pray that we may escape their snares,/ and may receive forgiveness of our sins and great mercy.
• • •
Troparion of ST CAIRLON ― Tone 4
O holy Cairlon, thou didst repose in the Lord/ and wast raised to life by Saint Daga./ Then living the risen life while yet on earth/ thou didst spend thy years in apostolic labours./ Pray to Christ our God to save our souls.
• • •
Apolytikion of ST ARTEMON of Seleucia ― Tone 3
You healed by divine grace, your words were speechless by nature, bearing obedience, Holy One, and firmly contesting Artemon, becoming worthy of a double crown from God; Venerable Father, entreat Christ God, to grant us the great mercy.
• • •
Apolytikion of ST ARTEMON of Laodicea ― Tone4
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 Artemon, entreat Christ God to save our souls.

ST TIKHON the Patriarch of Moscow — Troparion — Tone 1
Let us praise Tikhon, the patriarch of all Russia, / And enlightener of North America / An ardent follower of the Apostolic traditions, / And good pastor of the Church of Christ. / Who was elected by divine providence, / And laid down his life for his sheep. / Let us sing to him with faith and hope, / And ask for his hierarchical intercessions: / Keep the church in Russia in tranquility, / And the church in North America in peace. / Gather her scattered children into one flock, / Bring to repentance those who have renounced the True Faith, / Preserve our lands from civil strife, / And entreat God’s peace for all people!
ST TIKHON the Patriarch of Moscow — Troparion — Plagal Tone 1
To the new world sent forth as a shepherd of the flock, thou wast called back to the old, to take up the Cross as a staff and from wolves and faithless shepherds to defend the Church; and after thee, the sheep of Christ knew no shepherd to be true who kept not thy good confession, wherein, O Tikhon, preserve us unharmed throughout our earthly pilgrimage.

ΠΡΟΕΌΡΤΙΟΝ ― Κοντάκιον ― Ἦχος δ´. Ἐπεφάνης σήμερον
Ἐπελεύσει Πνεύματος τοῦ Παναγίου, τοῦ Πατρός τόν σύνθρονον, καί ὁμοούσιον φωνῇ, τοῦ Ἀρχαγγέλου συνέλαβες, Θεοκυῆτορ, Ἀδάμ ἡ ἀνάκλησις.

Kontakion of ST ZACHARIAS ― Tone 4
Thou wast illustrious in fasting,/ and didst appear terrible to demons;/ strengthen us also by thy prayers, O venerable Zacharias,/ that we may lead a life of fasting, and be delivered from the demons' attacks,/ and so may bless thee.
• • •
Kontakion of ST ARTEMON of Laodicea ― Tone4
Made worthy of a sacred confession, and completing your life as a martyr, you were translated to heaven, receiving from God an unfading crown. Therefore we celebrate your holy memory, calling out: Remember us, as you stand before Christ, O wise Hieromartyr Artemon.
• • •
ST TIKHON the Patriarch of Moscow — Kontakion — Tone 3
Today the assembly of New Martyrs / Stands together with us in the Church / And together we raise a festive song / Celebrating the uncovering of the relics of our Hierarch Father Tikhon / Who defeated the enemy and preserved the Faith / While protecting the flock entrusted to him. / For he ever prays for us all / That we may never be deprived of the Love of God.
ST TIKHON the Patriarch of Moscow — Kontakion — Tone 4
The most holy Patriarch, ven'rable Tikhon, the Confessor of the Faith, hath gained from Christ the crown of life; for he did labour with godly zeal and strove till death in defence of the Church of Christ.

Ἤγγικεν ἡ λύτρωσις τῶν βροτῶν· Γαβριὴλ γὰρ σπεύδει, χαρμοσύνως πρὸς Ναζαρέτ, βοῆσαι τὸ χαῖρε, τῇ Κεχαριτωμένῃ· τὸν Λόγον γὰρ συλλήψῃ, Πατρὶ τὸν σύνθρονον.
