At the Aposticha, these stichera, in Tone II—

Glory...: The foregoing is repeated

Departing thy native region and travelling to the city of Kiev, thou didst there, at the relics of the wonderworkers of the Caves, receive a blessing for the path of saving struggle. Thus do thou also send down a blessing upon us who keep thine all-holy and most honored memory.

Troparion, in Tone IV—

Now and ever..., of the Forefeast, in Tone V—

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

Glory…, Now & ever…: the troparion of the Forefeast, in Tone IV—

Great skill didst thou lovingly receive in the obedience of monastic struggles, O venerable father Seraphim, and thou didst astonish the brethren by thy patience and love. Pray that our souls be saved.

After “Now lettest Thou Thy servant depart…”, the troparion of the righteous one, in Tone IV—

Stichos: Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord; in His commandments shall he greatly delight.

Glory…, Now & ever…: Troparion of the Forefeast, in the same tone—

Strengthened by the counsels of the abbot, thou didst dwell in the wilderness of Sarov, O father; thou didst make haste to abide there in prayerful struggle, and wast shown to be a habitation of the Holy Spirit.

Christ our God cometh to the River Jordan to be baptized, desiring to cleanse us of our iniquities by His appearance, in that He alone is good and loveth mankind.

From thy youth didst thou love Christ, O blessed one; and, aflame with the desire to serve Him alone, thou didst struggle in the wilderness in unceasing prayer and labor; and with compunction of heart acquiring the love of Christ, thou wast shown to be the beloved favorite of the Mother of God. Wherefore, we cry unto thee: Save us by thy prayers, O our venerable father Seraphim.

Make ready, O Zebulun! Adorn thyself, O Naphtali! O River Jordan, leaping up, receive thou the Master Who cometh to be baptized! Rejoice, O Adam, with our first mother! Hide not yourselves as ye did before in paradise; for He that beheld you naked hath revealed Himself, that He may clothe you in your primal raiment. Christ hath appeared, desiring to make all creation new!

O all-glorious wonder, how in a weak nature great might was shown forth, the delusion of the demons was overcome and all the assaults and wiles of the evil one destroyed! O righteous Juliana, blessed among women, entreat Christ God, Who loveth mankind, that our souls be saved.

Stichos: Wondrous is God in His saints, the God of Israel.

In thy purity, chastity and other virtues, O righteous Juliana, thou wast a temple of Christ; wherefore, thou didst contain within thyself the Holy Spirit. Him do thou entreat, that our souls be saved.

Stichos: In congregations bless ye God, the Lord from the wellsprings of Israel.

A helper and benefactor of the poor, the orphaned and the widowed wast thou, O right laudable Juliana; wherefore, thou hast also acquired inexhaustible riches in the heavens. There do thou beseech Christ God, that our souls be saved.

Glory…, in Tone VI—

Let Juliana, the dove of Christ, be honored, in that all praise and glory becometh her; for, having woven for herself a wreath of praises and lived in the midst of the world in a God-pleasing manner, pleasing Him by almsgiving and prayer, and having acquired great boldness before Him, she poureth forth healings in abundance upon those who approach her with faith. Wherefore, we also cry out to her: O blessed and thrice-blessed one, entreat Christ unceasingly for our rulers and hierarchs, and for all Orthodox Christians, that we may be delivered from the assault of aliens, from famine, pestilence and civil strife, and that He save our souls.

Now & ever…: Doxasticon of the forefeast, in Tone I—

Come, all ye faithful, and, forsaking the land of Judæa, let us traverse the wilderness of Jordan; and there shall we behold today Him Who for our sake hath appeared in the flesh, requesting baptism in the streams of the Jordan of the Baptist, who refused, crying aloud in fear: “I dare not touch Fire with my hand of clay! Jordan and the sea fled and turned back, O Savior; and how can I place my hand upon the crown of the head of Thee before Whom the seraphim tremble? Jordan withdrew when Elisha received the mantle of Elijah; how then is it that it hath not sunk into chaos and the nethermost depths, beholding Thee naked in its streams? How is it that it doth not scald me, who am set all afire by Thee?” “Wherefore dost thou hesitate to baptize my Lord, O Baptist?” the Jordan cried out to John. “Why hinderest thou the cleansing of many? Sanctify all creation, and remain Thou also to sanctify me, and the nature of water, for it is for this that Thou hast made Thyself manifest!”

Shining forth with grace divine, even after death thou hast revealed the radiance of thy life; for thou pourest forth fragrant myrrh for healing upon all the sick who approach the shrine of thy relics with faith, O righteous mother Juliana. Entreat Christ God, that our souls be saved.

Make ready, O Zebulun! Adorn thyself, O Naphtali! O River Jordan, leaping up, receive thou the Master Who cometh to be baptized! Rejoice, O Adam, with our first mother! Hide not yourselves as ye did before in paradise; for He that beheld you naked hath revealed Himself, that He may clothe you in your primal raiment. Christ hath appeared, desiring to make all creation new!

More splendid than the sun was the feast of the nativity of Christ which hath passed, but brilliant and all-radiant is the coming feast of His divine epiphany also shown to be. For that one, the shepherds and angels, rendering glory, worshipped God Who had become man; but on this one John, touching the Master with his right hand, saith with trembling: “Hallow me and the waters, O Thou Who alone hast great mercy!”

Stichos: Therefore will I remember Thee from the land of Jordan and Hermoniem.

Make ready, O River Jordan! For, lo! Christ God cometh to be baptized by John, that in thy waters He might crush the heads of the invisible serpents by His divinity! Rejoice, O desert of Jordan! Ye mountains, exult in gladness; for our eternal Life cometh to restore Adam! O Forerunner John, thou art the voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare ye the ways of the Lord and make straight His paths!”

Stichos: The waters saw Thee, O God, the waters saw Thee and were afraid.

Let the desert of Jordan rejoice, and let it blossom like a lily; for therein hath been heard the voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare ye the way of the Lord!” For He Who set forth the mountains with a measure and the forested places with His scales, Who as God filleth all things, is baptized by a servant, granting rich gifts at the beginning of His impoverishment. Eve once heard: “In pain thou shalt give birth to children”; but now the Virgin hath heard: “Rejoice, O thou who art full of grace! The Lord is with thee, Who hath great mercy!”

Glory…, Now & ever…, the composition of Anatolius, in Tone VIII—

“O Forerunner John, who knewest Me, the Lamb, while yet in the womb of thy mother, minister unto Me at the river, offer unto Me service with the angels. Stretching forth thy hand, touch the all-pure crown of My head; and when thou seest the mountains smoke and Jordan turn back, cry aloud with them: O Lord, Who wast incarnate of the Virgin for our salvation, glory be to Thee!”
