Irmos: The sea monster thrust forth, like a babe from the womb, Jonah whom it had swallowed; and the Word, Who dwelt within the Virgin and took flesh of her, issued forth, preserving her incorrupt. He kept her who gave Him birth unharmed, for He Himself was not subject to corruption.
Kontakion, in Tone I: Spec. Mel.: “The angelic choir…”—
Ye have been shown to be heirs of Eden most sweet, O new martyrs of the land of Russia. Blessed are ye, for your weeping hath found solace in heaven. Ye thirsted after righteousness, and therewith ye are now abundantly satisfied in the kingdom of heaven.
Theotokion: The whole choir of the prophets, taught by God, foretold the mystery of thine ineffable and divine conception of the divine Word through thee, O Virgin Mother; for thou hast truly revealed the most true and ancient counsel.
Troparia of the Apostle:
Irmos: Jonah was swallowed, but was not held fast in the belly of the monster; for, serving as an image of Thee, Who didst suffer and wast given over for burial, he issued forth from the whale as from a bridal chamber. And he said to the watchmen, the vain and false guardians: Ye have forsaken His mercy!
After Ode VI, the kontakion of the resurrection, and its ikos.
In cruel imprisonment, the daughters of the Tsar and their holy mother drew forth consolation for themselves from the writings of the holy Fathers, and thus betrothed themselves unto Christ. And Alexis their brother was borne in the arms of the martyred Tsar to the place where those royal persons and their four fellow sufferers were slain. And they intercede before God for our race as animate sacrifices.
Theotokion: Many times hath our race been delivered from misfortunes and evils by people praying before thy holy icons, O Mother of God. O Mistress, in thine intercession bring together all of our supplications for deliverance from tribulation most cruel.
Thou wast shown to be a chariot of God, O God-pleasing Timothy, bearing His divine name before the face of the godless tyrants, undaunted by their savagery; for thou didst array thyself in the invincible might of the Savior.
The mine-shaft became a tomb wherein the venerable martyr Elizabeth ended her royal path with Barbara, her sister in the Lord, and six others. There the Princess bound the wounds of the passion-bearer Prince John. O ye holy martyrs of Alapaevsk, tend now the wounds of our souls!
Thou didst receive a magnificent crown, O divinely wise apostle Timothy, who art most rich; thou wast crowned with the diadem of the kingdom as is meet, and hast stood before the throne of thy Master, rejoicing with Paul in the mansions of heaven, O blessed one.
O favored ones of God who have suffered in these dreadful days in the Russian land, ye renowned and unknown alike, monks, nuns, men, women and children: Strengthen us by your prayers, that the way may be made straight before the Lord for us who commemorate your struggle.
Perfumed with the noetic myrrh of Christ Who for our sake abased Himself by assuming flesh, O most honored Timothy, thou didst receive His sweet fragrance; and thou hast transmitted it to those who have recourse to thee with faith, O holy initiate of the ineffable mysteries of His noetic love.
Troparion of the Martyr
Manifestly illumined by the radiance of the Cross, thou didst dispel the gloom of falsehood and didst triumph, contending against the tyrant, O most glorious one; and, rejoicing, thou didst receive thy trophies of victory, O Anastasius, martyr of Christ, joining chorus with the armies of the martyrs.
O ye faithful, let us all hymn Timothy, the divine disciple and companion of Paul, honoring with him the wise Anastasius, who shone forth from Persia like a star and dispelleth the passions of our souls and our bodily infirmities.
Ikos: The annual festival of the saints hath shone forth more brightly than the sun, illumined the faithful, dispelled all the power of the demons in its myriad forms, washed away infirmities and fulfilled the petitions of those who make entreaty. Wherefore, wretch though I am, I make haste and offer supplication out of the pain of my passion-plagued heart, that I may receive what I desire and obtain what I need: surcease from grief, a life free from sorrow, remission of transgressions and divine healing of soul and body.
