Having received the faith of Christ in your heart as a breastplate,
you trampled upon inimical forces, O much-suffering champion,
and you have been crowned eternally with a heavenly crown, as one invincible.
Great Martyr Theodore the Tyro (Recruit) - 17 February
🎶troparion🎶
Great are the accomplishments of faith,
for the Holy Martyr Theodore rejoiced in the fount of flames as though at the waters of rest;
for having been made a whole burnt offering in the fire,
he was offered as a sweet bread to the Trinity.
By his entreaties, O Christ God, save our souls!

Faced with terrible sufferings,
the fearless athletes of the Lord rejoiced;
they conversed with one another ignoring the flesh.
Therefore, they have inherited eternal glory,
ever praying for us who praise their struggles.
Martyrs Pamphilius the Presbyter, Valens the Deacon, and those with them, at Caesarea in Palestine - 16 February
🎶troparion🎶
Your holy martyrs, Pamphilius and his companions, O Lord,
through their sufferings have received incorruptible crowns from You, our God.
For having Your strength, they laid low their adversaries,
and shattered the powerless boldness of demons.
Through their intercessions, save our souls!
Sunday of Meatfare of the Last Judgment - 15 February
🎶kontakion🎶
When You, O God, shall come to earth with glory,
all things shall tremble
and the river of fire shall flow before Your judgment seat;
the books shall be opened and the hidden things disclosed!
Then deliver me from the unquenchable fire,
and make me worthy to stand at Your right hand, Most Righteous Judge!

Delighting in abstinence, O divinely wise one,
since you curbed the desires of the flesh,
your faith was seen to increase;
and you blossomed as a plant in the midst of Paradise,
most sacred Father Auxentios.
Venerable Auxentius of Bithynia - 14 February
🎶troparion🎶
O citizen of the desert and angel in the body,
you were shown to be a wonderworker, our God-bearing Father Auxentios;
through fasting, vigil, and prayer, you received heavenly gifts,
healing the sick, and the souls of those who run to you with faith.
Glory to Him Who strengthened you.
Glory to Him Who crowned you.
Glory to Him Who, through you, works healing for all!

Let us worthily praise with hymns the ever-venerable Martinian,
the tried ascetic who struggled for piety,
an honorable athlete by deliberate choice,
and a resolute citizen and inhabitant of the desert;
for he has trampled down the serpent.
Saints Martinian, Zoe, and Photina of Caesarea in Palestine - 13 February
🎶troparion🎶
You quenched the flames of passion, blessed Martinian, with abundant tears;
you calmed the waves of the sea and checked the assaults of wild beasts, saying:
“Almighty God, You are most glorious, for You have saved me from the fire and storm!”
