Apolytikion of the Appearance of the Cross ― Tone 1
The image of Thy Cross at this time shone brighter than the sun, when Thou didst spread it out from the holy Mount of Olives to Calvary; and in making plain Thy might which is therein, O Savior, Thou didst also thereby strengthen the faithful. Keep us always in peace, by the intercessions of the Theotokos, O Christ our God, and save us.
Ἀπολυτίκιον τοῦ ΤΙΜΊΟΥ ΣΤΑΥΡΟῦ ― Ἦχος α´
Τοῦ Σταυροῦ σου ὁ τύπος νῦν ὑπὲρ ἤλιον ἔλαμψεν, ὅνπερ ἐξ ὄρους ἁγίου, τόπῳ Κρανίου ἐφήπλωσας· καὶ τὴν ἐν αὐτῷ σου Σῶτερ ἰσχὺν ἐτράνωσας, διὰ τούτου κρατύνας καὶ τοὺς πιστοὺς Βασιλεῖς ἡμῶν· οὓς καὶ περίσωζε διαπαντὸς ἐν εἰρήνῃ, πρεσβείαις τῆς Θεοτόκου Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός, καὶ σῶσον ἡμᾶς.

Troparion of ST ACACIOS ― Tone 5
O Martyr Acacios,/ by thy steadfast contest thou didst trample on the ancient serpent/ and receive the victor's crown from God./ By thine aid deliver us from the malice of the evil one,/ O prize-winner,/ and entreat Christ our God to have mercy on our souls.
• • •
Troparion of ST NIL of Sora ― Tone 4
Thou didst renounce the world and flee the tumult of life,/ O righteous and Godbearing Father Nil. /Thou didst not neglect to gather paradisal flowers from the writings of the Fathers,/ and didst pass from the wilderness to heavenly mansions,/ having blossomed as a lily of the field./ Teach us who venerate thee to tread the royal highway;/ and pray for our souls.
• • •
Troparion of ST PACHOMIOS the New Martyr ― Tone 3
Thy godly life was made radiant by the trials of holy martyrdom,/ O glorious, righteous Martyr Pachomios./ Thou didst shine forth on Athos by thine ascetical deeds/ and shed thy blood as an Athlete./ Intercede with the Lord Who has glorified thee/ that He may grant us His great mercy.
• • •
Troparion of ST JOHN of Beverley ― Tone 6
Thou hast been given to the faithful, O most sacred John, as a beauteous tree of holiness, bearing all the virtues like most sacred blooms, filling all the land with the fragrance of miracles and the sweet fruit of healings. Wherefore, O namesake of grace, entreat Christ God, that He save us who honor thee..

Ὅσιος ΝΕῖΛΟΣ ὁ ΜΥΡΟΒΛΉΤΗΣ ― Ἀπολυτίκιον ― Ἦχος δ’. Ταχὺ προκατάλαβε
Ὡς ἄνθη πανεύοσμα, τῆς ἀϊδίου ζωῆς, τὰ θεῖά σου λείψανα, ἐκ τῶν ταμείων τῆς γῆς, ἡμὶν ἀνεφάνησαν· ὅθεν μνείαν τελοῦντες, τῆς εὑρέσεως τούτων, μέλπομεν Πάτερ Νεῖλε, τὴν δοθεῖσάν σοι χάριν, δι’ ἧς πᾶσι προστάτης, εὑρίσκῃ θερμότατος.

Kontakion of the Appearance of the Cross ― Tone 4
The holy Cross which opened the closed heavens has appeared from thence and shone upon the earth. / As we receive the glory of its power we are led to the unfading Light. / We have it in wars as an unfading trophy, Thy weapon of peace.
Kontakion of the Appearance of the Cross ― Tone 4
The pure and Life-giving Cross which opened paradise / appeared in splendor above the earth, / extending its brilliant rays to the heavens. / Today we faithful accept its radiance as our guide to the eternal light. / We bear it in our struggles as an assurance of victory and triumph!
Kontakion of the Appearance of the Cross ― Tone 4
Making its rays to shine above in the heavens, the spotless Cross dawned on the earth, bright with splendour; for it had opened Heaven, which was shut of old. Granted the effulgence of its divine operation, we are surely guided to the unwaning resplendence. In battles we possess it as a true weapon of peace and a trophy invincible.
Another Kontakion of the Precious Cross ― Tone 8
O thrice-blessed and worshipful Cross of Christ,/ all we faithful venerate and magnify thee, and we rejoice at thy manifestation./ As the trophy and unconquered weapon that thou art,/ protect, cover and shelter by thy grace those who cry to thee:/ Rejoice, O Wood most blessed.

Ὁ διανύξας οὐρανοὺς κεκλεισμένους, ἐν οὐρανῷ περιφανεῖς τὰς ἀκτίνας, ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς ἀνέτειλεν ὁ ἄχραντος Σταυρός· ὅθεν οἱ τὴν ἔλλαμψιν, τῆς αὐτοῦ ἐνεργείας, δεξάμενοι πρὸς ἄδυτον, ὁδηγούμεθα φέγγος· καὶ ἐν πολέμοις ἔχομεν αὐτόν, ὅπλον εἰρήνης ἀήττητον τρόπαιον.
• • •
Kontakion of ST ACACIOS ― Tone 2
Let us fittingly acclaim the godly witness and victor over the devil./ Let us call him blessed as we pray:/ Cease not to entreat the Saviour, O Acacios,/ that thy servants may be saved;/ for thou hast great boldness before the Lord.
• • •
Kontakion of ST NIL of Sora ― Tone 1
Beholding the blessings of Paradise and delighting in her beauties,/ thou didst bring forth fragrant fruits of God-enlightened understanding./ O chalice of divine compunction, Father Nil, pray to Christ that we thy disciples/ may rejoice eternally with thee.
• • •
Kontakion of ST PACHOMIOS the New Martyr ― Tone 4
Thou didst become illustrious on Athos by thine ascetic life and didst later excel in martyrdom./ For thou wast given wings by thy love for God,/ O divinely-wise Martyr, glorious Pachomios.

Kontakion of ST JOHN of Beverley ― Tone 4 “Thou hast appeared today…”
Thou wast a fruitful branch of Christ, the Tree of Life, a God-bearing and most holy hierarch, O John, and unto Him thou singest with the angels: “Thou art the radiant joy of Thy saints, O Master and Lord!”

Ὅσιος ΝΕῖΛΟΣ ὁ ΜΥΡΟΒΛΉΤΗΣ ― Κοντάκιον ― Ἦχος δ’. Ἐπεφάνης σήμερον
Τὰ σεπτά σου λείψανα περικυκλοῦντες, ἐξ αὐτῶν λαμβάνομεν, ἁγιασμοῦ τὰς δωρεάς, Μυροβλυτῶν ἐγκαλλώπισμα, Νεῖλε θεόφρον, Ἀγγέλων ὁμόσκηνε.
