Troparion of Ss ALEXANDER and ANTONINA ― Tone 1
Let us praise the two holy Martyrs,/ renowned Alexander and noble Antonina;/ in their holy contests they shone with love, faith and healing/ for those who cry together:/ Glory to Him Who has strengthened you; glory to Him Who has crowned you;/ glory to Him Who through you works healings for all.
Troparion of Ss ALEXANDER and ANTONINA ― Tone 4
Thy Martyrs, O Lord, in their courageous contest for Thee received as the prize the crowns of incorruption and life from Thee, our immortal God. For since they possessed Thy strength, they cast down the tyrants and wholly destroyed the demons' strengthless presumption. O Christ God, by their prayers, save our souls, since Thou art merciful.
Ἅγιοι ἈΛΈΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ καὶ ἈΝΤΩΝΊΝΑ ― Ἀπολυτίκιον ― Ἦχος α’. Τῆς ἐρήμου πολίτης
Ξυνωρὶς ἡ ἁγία τῶν Μαρτύρων ὑμνείσθω μοι, σὺν τῷ εὐκλεεῖ Ἀλεξάνδρῳ, Ἀντωνίνα ἡ πάνσεμνος· ἀγάπη γὰρ καὶ πίστει εὐσεβεῖ, ἐκλάμψαντες ἐν ἄθλοις ἱεροῖς, ἰαμάτων ἐφαπλοῦσι μαρμαρυγάς, τοῖς πόθῳ ἀνακράζουσι· δόξα τῷ ἐνισχύσαντι ὑμᾶς, δόξα τῷ στεφανώσαντι, δόξα τῷ ἐνεργοῦντι δι’ ὑμῶν, πᾶσιν ἰάματα.
Ἅγιοι ἈΛΈΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ καὶ ἈΝΤΩΝΊΝΑ ― Ἀπολυτίκιον ― Ταχύ προκατάλαβε
Οἱ Μάρτυρες σου Κύριε, ἐν τῇ ἀθλήσει αὐτῶν, τὸ στέφος ἐκομίσαντο τῆς ἀφθαρσίας, ἐκ σοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν· σχόντες γὰρ τὴν ἰσχύν σου, τοὺς τυράννους καθεῖλον· ἔθραυσαν καὶ δαιμόνων τὰ ἀνίσχυρα θράση. Αὐτῶν ταῖς ἱκεσίαις Χριστὲ ὁ Θεός, σῶσον τὰς ψυχὰς ἡμῶν.

Troparion of St JOHN of Tobolsk ― Tone 8
Thou wast a guide of virtue, a comforter of orphans and an unmercenary physician of the sick;/ a help of the suffering and an intercessor to the Lord;/ beseech Him to save our souls.
• • •
Troparion of St TIMOTHY ― Tone 1
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 Timothy entreat Christ God to save our souls.
• • •
Apolytikion of St SAVVAS ― Tone 1
The boast of Stageira and the pride of Athos, let us praise with odes Hieromartyr Savvas; strongly he lived in asceticism and contested, he defeated the treacherous enemy, and through a vision he was made worthy of the divine voice foretelling his martyrdom. Glory to Christ Who glorified you, Glory to Him Who gave you strength, Glory to Him Who in these latter days crowned you.
• • •
CHINESE Martyrs ― Apolytikion ― Tone 3"Seeing how beautiful..."
When you renounced your false ancestral errors all,
you came to know that Christ is God and Lord of all.
When you courageously proclaimed that He is the only Savior
you endured the suffering and the tortures as if you were
bodiless, and you received from His hand the unfading crown.
And now you intercede for all of China
to see the light of knowledge, O Martyr Saints.
CHINESE Martyrs ― Troparion― Tone 5
In a pagan land ye were enlightened by the Orthodox Faith, / and having lived in the Faith but a little time, / ye inherited the eternal Kingdom. / By the purity of your Christian ways / ye put to shame the false Confucian piety / and trampled demon-inspired Buddhism underfoot as refuse, / sanctifying the Chinese land with your blood. / Wherefore, we pray: / Entreat the Master of all / that He enlighten your land with Orthodoxy in these latter times, // and strengthen us therein.
CHINESE Martyrs ― Apolytikion ― Tone 1
Minister to Christ, true priest of glory, reasonable sacrifice and blameless victim, thou gavest thyself up to the stadium with thy flock, O father, Chi - Sung in Beijing. Therefore pray for us who keep thy precious memory with faith.
CHINESE Martyrs ― Apolytikion ― Tone 2
Thou hast become a participator in the customs of the Apostles and a successor to their throne thou hast found the way of ascending to behold God, by thy faithful struggle unto blood with thy flock in Beijing, O God inspired, hieromartyr Chi - Sung Pray to Christ our God, that our souls might be saved.
CHINESE Martyrs ― Apolytikion ― Tone 3
Let us the flock of Christ with love and piety now glorify with hymns and truly joyous odes the faithful Martyrs of the truth who suffered for Christ in China. For having confessed the Faith, they all bravely went unto death as lambs which were sacrificed for our Shepherd and Master Christ. And therefore to the Martyrs we cry out: Remember us all, who sing your praises.
• • •
ALL SAINTS ― Troparion ― Tone 4
In all the world, O Christ our God, Thy Church is adorned with the blood of Thy martyrs as with purple and fine linen. Through them she cries to Thee: Send down Thy compassion to Thy people, grant peace to Thy community, and to our souls the great mercy.
ALL SAINTS ― Troparion ― Tone 4
As with fine porphyry and royal purple, / Your church has been adorned with Your martyrs’ blood shed throughout all the world. / She cries to You, O Christ God: / Send down Your bounties on Your people, / Grant peace to Your habitation, and great mercy to our souls!
ALL SAINTS ― Apolytikion ― Tone 4
Your Church, O Christ our God, clothed itself in the blood of Your martyrs from throughout the world, as though it were a robe of linen and purple; through them, she cries out to You, "Send down upon Your people compassion, grant peace to Your commonwealth, and to our souls, great mercy."

Kontakion of Ss ALEXANDER and ANTONINA ― Tone 2
Let us bless godly Alexander and Antonina,/ spiritual kinsmen in Christ and of one mind in holiness;/ receiving their struggles and wounds as fragrant myrrh/ He has glorified them.

Kontakion of St JOHN of Tobolsk ― Tone 2
To those in the darkness of ignorance thou wast a light,/ a comforter of widows and orphans, and a physician to the weak,/ a guide to the young and the light of joy to parents./ Pray to Christ our God to grant Faith in our land/ and great mercy to His people.
• • •
CHINESE Martyrs ― Kontakion ― Tone 4 "You who were lifted..."
In recent times you imitated the martyrs of former times in your victorious contests, O blessed Saints, for you competed valiantly for Christ. Watering the holy Church of the great land of China with your blood, you have received a crown from Lord’s hand. As you are standing near Him in the heights, commemorate us who honor your martyrdom.
CHINESE Martyrs ― Kontakion ― Tone 1
O Martyrs of these latter times, / ye whitened your garments in the blood of the Lamb, / and shed your own blood for Christ. / Wherefore, ye now minister unto Him day and night / in the Church of heaven. / Therefore, entreat Christ for us, O glorious Martyrs, / that He hide His little flock from the beguilement of Antichrist, / and that He lead all of us out of great tribulation // unto a land of never-waning light.
CHINESE Martyrs ― Kontakion ― Tone 4
The divine Metrophanes, the martyred shepherd, with his great and faithful flock, have hallowed China with their blood; wherefore we praise them with sacred hymns, for they were faithful to Christ even unto death.

ALL SAINTS ― Kontakion ― Tone 8
The universe offers to Thee, O Lord, as the Planter of Creation, the God-bearing martyrs as the first-fruits of nature. By their prayers, O Most Merciful One, through the Mother of God keep Thy Church, Thy estate, in deep peace.
ALL SAINTS ― Kontakion ― Tone 8
The universe offers You the God-bearing martyrs, / As the first fruits of creation, O Lord and Creator. / Through the Theotokos, and their prayers establish Your Church in peace!
