Aposticha stichera, in Tone VI: Spec. Mel.: “On the third day…”—

Grace hath prevailed, faith hath proved stronger, and all have been filled with the understanding of God. And we have been enriched with salvation because of the apostles and teachers.

Now & ever…: Theotokion—

Troparion, in Tone IV—

Stichos: The saints shall boast in glory, and they shall rejoice on their beds.

Glory…, Now & ever…: Theotokion—

After the blessing of the loaves, the troparion, in Tone IV—

O Lord, Thou hast made wondrous Thy three saints with heavenly mysteries, the teaching of men and the confluence of most divers graces, together with corrections which vanquish every word of heresy.

Stichos: Thy priests shall be clothed with righteousness, and Thy righteous shall rejoice.

Let Basil, the divine intelligence, Gregory, the divine voice, and John, the most beautiful lamp, the three highest favorites and ministers of the Trinity, be glorified!

Glory…, in Tone VI—

O good, blessed and faithful servants, ye goodly husbandmen of the vineyard of Christ, who bore the burden of the day and increased the talant given you: Ye did not envy those who came after you; wherefore, the gates of heaven have been opened unto you. Entering, therefore, into the joy of Christ your Master, pray for us, O holy teachers.

No one who hath recourse unto thee, O all-pure Virgin Theotokos, departeth from thee ashamed; for he asketh grace and receiveth a gift for his profitable petition.

In that ye share in the ways of the apostles, O teachers of the whole world, entreat the Master of all, that He grant peace to the world and great mercy to our souls.

The mystery hidden from before the ages and unknown even to the angels, through thee, O Theotokos, hath been revealed to those on earth: God incarnate in unconfused union, Who willingly accepted the Cross for our sake and, thereby raising up the first-formed man, hath saved our souls from death.

As is meet, today let us praise together the spiritual initiates of the mysteries, the noetic clarions of God, the divine reflections: Basil the great, the divine Gregory of fiery inspiration, and John, truly golden-mouthed, who poureth forth upon us golden streams of doctrines.

Stichos: The saints shall boast in glory, and they shall rejoice upon their beds.

As is meet, let us praise with hymns the foundation of the Faith, the godly and vigilant mind, the most radiant rivers of golden streams and the honored luminaries, the champions of the Trinity, the receptacles of the grace of the Spirit, the unshakable pillars, the confirmation of the Church.

Stichos: Thy priests shall be clothed with righteousness, and Thy righteous shall rejoice.

O thrice-blessed Basil, divinely wise Gregory and most golden and all-honored John, ye instruments of the Spirit, clarions of the divine thunder, lightning-flashes of preaching, most radiant beacons, rendered golden and luminous by God: Entreat Christ, that He save those who honor you.

Glory…, in Tone II—

Today are the souls of mortals upborne from earthly things; today do they become heavenly on the day of the saints’ commemoration; for the gates of heaven are opened, and the words of the Master are spoken unto us. Words proclaim the Word, and tongues hymn His wonders. And we cry out to the Savior: Glory to Thee, O Christ God, for through them hath peace been given to the faithful!

Now & ever…, of the coming feast, in the same tone—

Today is Christ borne into the sanctuary as a babe; today doth He become subject to the law Who gave the law to Moses! The armies of the angels marvelled, beholding Him Who holdeth all things carried in the arms of an elderly man. And, full of reverence, Symeon cried out, rejoicing: “Now let me depart from this fleeting life to a rest which waxeth not old, O Savior; for I have see Thee and am glad!”

In that ye share in the ways of the apostles, O teachers of the whole world, entreat the Master of all, that He grant peace to the world and great mercy to our souls. Twice

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