TROPARION
Holy Hieromartyr Ignatius of Antioch, the God-Bearer, Troparion, Tone IV —
As thou didst share in the ways of the apostles/ and didst occupy their throne,/ thou didst find thine activity to be a passage to divine vision,/ O divinely inspired one./ Wherefore, ordering the word of truth,/ thou didst suffer for the Faith even to the shedding of thy blood.// O hieromartyr Ignatius, entreat Christ God, that our souls be saved.
Forefeast of the Nativity, Troparion, Tone IV —
Make ready, O Bethlehem!/ Open unto all, O Eden!/ Adorn thyself, O Ephratha!/ For the Tree of life hath blossomed forth from the Virgin in the cave./ Her womb is shown to be a noetic paradise,/ wherein lieth a divine garden,/ eating from whence we live,/ not dying like Adam.// Christ is born to raise up His image which before was fallen.
Kontakion of the Forefeast, Tone III "Today the Virgin" —
Today the Virgin cometh to give birth ineffably/ to the preeternal Word in the cave./ Dance, O world! And having heard this,/ with the angels and shepherds glorify// the preeternal God, Who is to appear as a little babe.
Kontakion of the Hieromartyr, Tone III "Today the Virgin" —
The luminous day of thy radiant struggles/ proclaimeth beforehand to all Him Who hath been Born in the cave;/ for thirsting to delight in His love,/ thou didst hasten to be devoured by the wild beasts.// Wherefore, thou hast been called the God-bearer, O most wise Ignatius.
Righteous John of Kronstadt, Troparion, in Tone IV —
With the apostles thy sound hath gone forth into all the earth;/ with the confessors thou didst endure sufferings for Christ;/ thou didst resemble the holy hierarchs in thy preaching of the Word;/ and with the venerable hast thou shone forth in the grace of God./ Therefore, the Lord hath exalted the depths of thy humility above the heavens,/ and hath given us thy name as a source of most wondrous miracles./ Wherefore, O wonderworker, who livest in Christ forever,/ take pity in thy love upon people in misfortunes;/ and hearken unto thy children,/ who with faith call upon thee,// O righteous John, our beloved pastor.
Or this Troparion, in Tone IV —
O wonderworker, who livest in Christ forever,/ take pity in thy love upon people in misfortunes;/ hearken unto thy children who with faith call upon thee,/ expecting compassionate aid from thee,// O John of Kronstadt, our beloved pastor.
Kontakion, in Tone IV —
O father John, namesake of grace, who wast chosen by God from childhood, who in thy youth miraculously received from Him the gift of learning, and in a dream wast most gloriously called to be a priest: Entreat Christ God, that we may all be with thee in the kingdom of heaven.
