HIDE TROPARIAMartyrs Zenaida and Philonilla of Tarsus, Troparion, Tone IV
Having finished the race and kept the Faith, through martyrdom ye were led to
Christ, the Lamb and Shepherd, as reason-endowed ewe-lambs. Wherefore, with
joyous soul we celebrate your holy memory today, magnifying Christ, O right
wondrous Zinaida and Philonilla.
Kontakion, in Tone II
O emulators of Stephen, the first among athletes, and fellow laborers with
the physicians who charged no fee: for the sake of Christ, the Chief
Cornerstone, ye were stoned to death, persecuted by hardhearted people; and
having acquired boldness before the Holy Trinity, ye drive away the ailments of
suffering men. O martyrs, beseech the merciful God, that we who honor your
sufferings with faith may be saved.
Holy Apostle Philip of the Seventy, Troparion, Tone III
O holy apostle Philip/ entreat the merciful God// that He grant to our souls
remission of transgressions.
Venerable Theophanes the Confessor and Hymnographer, Bishop of Nicea,
Troparion, Tone VIII
O instructor of Orthodoxy, teacher of piety and purity,/ beacon for the whole
world, divinely inspired adornment of hierarchs./ O most wise Theophanes
by thy doctrines thou hast illumined all.// O harp of the Spirit, entreat Christ
God that our souls be saved.
Kontakion of Theophanes (after Ode III), Tone II "Seeking the highest"
Thundering forth the divine incarnation of Christ,/ thou didst utterly
denounce the incorporeal foe,/ O wondrous Theophanes./ Wherefore, we all piously
cry out to thee with faiths:/ Pray thou unceasingly in behalf of us all!
Kontakion of the Apostle, Tone IV "Having been lifted up"
The most wondrous fisher of nations,/ conversor with the disciples of
Christ,/ Philip, forechosen from among the apostles,/ doth today bestow a wealth
of healing upon the world,/ and doth protect them that praise him from evil
circumstances./ Wherefore, together we cry aloud to him:// Save us all by thy
prayers, O apostle!

Typikon Signs
 vigil for great feasts; a more festive service where all of the unfixed hymns are dedicated to the feast.
 "vigil" to a certain saint when All Night vigil is celebrated. The order of the service is similar to a Polyeleos (magnification) service, in that small vespers, great vespers and matins are combined (from this comes the vigil) and that there is the blessing of breads and the anointing with oil at the end of matins.
 "cross", "Polyeleos", "with the Polyeleos", "Polyeleos service", that is the type of service during which the "Polyeleos" (Praise/Magnification) is sung during matins (the majestic singing of the 134 and 135 psalms with verses); in addition, during this service there is a reading from the Gospel, the prokeimenon, gradual antiphons, the canon with 8 troparions, the praises and Great Doxology are sung, and during vespers "Blessed is the man" is sung (first "Glory" of the 1st kathisma), there is an entrance, Old Testament readings (parameia) and during lityia all of the verses may be sung to the saint.
 "doxology", "with doxology" during this service to the saint it is proper to sing the Great Doxology at the end of matins (in services of a lower rank, the doxology is read), also at this service are sung several Sunday Theotokions, sedalions after the kathisma (psaltery reading) to the saint, the katavasia during the canon, also at the end of matins are sung the praise verses, the Great Doxology, and the entire ending of matins follows the order of a feast.
 "six verse", "up to six"; all six stikhera of "Lord, I cry" are sung to the saint, there is a stikhera for "Glory" of the Apotischa for both vespers and matins; troparion to the saint, and the canon of matins is sung to the saint in six troparions.
, , no sign "without a sign"; the most ordinary, daily service to a saint, to whom it is customary to sing only three stikhera at "Lord I cry" and the canon of matins in four troparions. There may not be a troparion to the saint.
