At the aposticha, these stichera, in Tone V: Spec. Mel.: “Rejoice…”—

Now and ever..., Theotokion, or this Stavrotheotokion: Spec. Mel: “When from the Tree...”—

Rejoice, O Life-bearing Cross, invincible victory of piety; for through thee hath the gate of paradise been opened, enlightenment been given to new lands, the darkness of idolatry been abolished, the dominion of death been trampled down, and mortals are upborne to the heavens! Rejoice, O ye faithful, and be glad, for the glory of the Life-bearing Cross, the hope of the new martyrs and of the venerable Herman, is proclaimed in a new land, and imparteth to all the faithful great and rich mercy.

Now & ever…: Theotokion, in the same tone—

At the blessing of the loaves, the troparion of the saint, in Tone IV—

Now and ever..., Theotokion, or this Stavrotheotokion: Spec. Mel: “As valiant among the martyrs...”—

Stichos: Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.

Troparion, in Tone IV—

Rejoice, O venerable guide of the newly-chosen flock of Christ, who didst enlighten the hearts of the unbelieving with the grace of the word of God, didst teach them with the spirit of meekness and the piety of humility, and didst root within them the truth of the Faith by brotherly love and charity. O wondrous elder Herman, herald of the light of Christ and dispeller of the darkness of the demons, illumine also our hearts, driving away the darkness of unbelief, that we may find great mercy with the Lord.

Or this Troparion, in Tone I—

Stichos: What shall I render unto the Lord for all that He hath rendered unto me?

O venerable father, all-praised and holy hierarch, filled with the doctrine of the apostles, and manifest as the habitation of the divine Spirit by thy virtuous life, with thy teachings thou didst drive off the wolves that beset the Church, and didst make clear the Faith of the Orthodox, and wast a pillar and champion of piety. Wherefore, working wonders throughout the ends of the earth, thou didst transform a serpent into gold, and didst raise up a dead woman to question her. Yet, O thou who art right wondrous among the fathers, converser with the teachers of the Church, pray to the Savior, that He save our souls.

Rejoice, O defender of the newly-enlightened people, most simple and lowly, before the mighty of this world: for by thy life’s blood thou becamest a mediator for them, an instructor and most humble servant of their race. And likewise, thou wast a friend to those afflicted with an incurable disease, listening to their cries and groaning day and night; and, comforting them, thou didst lead them to the healing of heaven, O fearless shepherd of thy flock, even though thou didst decline priestly ordination. Rejoice, O thou who didst take pity on the wild beasts, as did the venerable Seraphim! Rejoice, thou who with the flame of faith didst put down the conflagration of material fire!

The all-pure Mistress, beholding Christ slain, Who slayeth the deceiver, exclaimed bitterly crying out to Him Who had come forth from her womb, and marvelling at His long-suffering, exclaimed: “O my most beloved Child, forget not Thy handmaid! O Thou Who lovest mankind, delay not my consolation!”

Glory…, in Tone VI—

N.B. In Greek usage, the service to St. Spyridon is of Doxology rank, rather than of six-stichera rank, as in the Slavonic Menaion. Therefore, if Greek usage is followed, the above Aposticha stichera are omitted and, at the Praises, four stichera, in Tone I: Spec. Mel: “Joy of the ranks of heaven...”—

O venerable father, the sound of thy corrections hath gone forth into all the earth; wherefore, thou hast found the reward of thy labors in the heavens, hast routed the hordes of the demons, and attained unto the ranks of the angels, whose life thou didst blamelessly emulate. As thou hast boldness before Christ God, ask thou peace for our souls.

Illumined with the radiance of the Spirit, thou didst dispel the darkness of the foolish prating of Arius, O wise hierarch. Wherefore, in simplicity, faithfully teaching the Trinity, thou wast glorified by the wise and learned, and didst confirm the Council. Twice

Christ the Lord, my Creator and Deliverer, Who came forth from thy womb, O all-pure one, and robed Himself in me, hath freed Adam from the curse. Wherefore, like the angel do we unceasingly cry out to thee, O most pure one, who art truly the Mother of God and Virgin: Rejoice! Rejoice, O Mistress, thou intercession, protection and salvation for our souls!

Illumined with heavenly rays and with the power of Christ, thou dost bestow healing of both soul and body upon those who even now celebrate thy memory with faith, O divinely blessed father and wonderworker. Cease thou never to intercede for us.

O venerable Herman, ascetic of the northern wilderness and gracious advocate for all the world, teacher of the Orthodox Faith and good instructor of piety, adornment of Alaska and joy of all America: entreat Christ God, that He save our souls. Twice

In thy faithfulness to the commandments, thou wast shown to be a husbandman of Christ, the True Vine, O God-bearer. Wherefore, having mystically received the talent of the kingdom from on high, pray thou without ceasing for us who honor thee, O wise Spyridon.

And “Virgin Theotokos, rejoice!…”, once.

O father Spyridon, venerable and wise, by thy virtues hast thou been shown to be a divine vessel of holy hierarchs. Wherefore, being an intercessor of the Church, thou didst cast out the chiefs of the heretics and, in council, didst cast down the blasphemy of Arius to the earth. Therefore, working wonders in word and deed, entreat the Savior, that our souls be saved.

She who knew not wedlock, beholding Thee nailed to the Tree of the Cross, O Jesus, weeping said: “O sweet Child, why hast Thou left me, who gave Thee birth, alone, O unapproachable Light of the all-unoriginate Father? But haste Thou and glorify Thyself, that those who glorify Thy divine sufferings may receive divine glory!

The truth of things revealed thee to thy flock as a rule of faith, a model of meekness and teacher of abstinence. Wherefore, thou hast attained the heights through humility, and riches through poverty. O father Spyridon, entreat Christ God, that our souls be saved!

Thou wast shown forth as a champion of the First Council and a wonderworker, O Spyridon, our God-bearing father. Wherefore, thou didst speak to one dead in the grave, and didst transform a serpent into gold. And, whilst chanting thy holy prayers, thou didst have angels serving with thee, O most sacred one. Glory to Him Who hath given thee strength! Glory to Him Who hath crowned thee! Glory to Him Who worketh healings for all through thee!
