Canon of the saint, the acrostic whereof is “Rejoice, O Theophanes, ascetic of Vyshensk”, with 8 troparia, in Tone VIII—
Joyfully offering up laudation, and falling down humbly before thee, we ask: Accept our unworthy supplication, O holy hierarch Theophanes our father.
O earthly angel and heavenly man, abiding in seclusion in the Monastery of Vyshensk, and praying unceasingly to the Lord, thou didst make plain for all the path to salvation.
Having assembled today, O ye faithful, with hymns and spiritual songs let us praise the holy hierarch Theophanes, our true advocate before God.
