At the aposticha, the stichera from the Octoechos; and Glory…, in Tone VIII —

The regiment of Christ’s martyrs hath been strengthened against the enemy; and among them the right glorious and most excellent athletes Sergius and Bacchus shine like luminaries. By them was the evil host of demons forced to turn in flight; by them were the tyrants amazed and the angels astonished, beholding the incorporeal foe trampled underfoot by corporeal men. And the Church of the faithful, celebrating their most festive feast and universal joy, crieth out: O thou Who through the weakness of the flesh didst bind the mighty one, save Thou our souls through the prayers of Thy saints!

Now & ever…: Theotokion, or this stavrotheotokion: Spec. Mel.: “O all-glorious wonder…” —

Troparion, in Tone IV —

“What is this sight which I see, which mine eyes behold, O Master? Thou Who sustainest all creation, dost die, lifted up upon the Tree, granting life to all!” the Theotokos said, weeping, when she beheld the God and man Who had ineffably shone forth from her uplifted upon the Cross.

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

Or this troparion, in Tone V —

In their sufferings, O Lord, Thy martyrs received imperishable crowns from Thee, our God; for, possessed of Thy might, they cast down the tormenters and set at nought the feeble audacity of the demons. By their supplications save Thou our souls.

Glory…, Now & ever…: Resurrectional theotokion, in the same tone.

Troparion of the holy hierarch, in Tone IV—

O much-suffering Sergius and all-glorious Bacchus, ye adornment of Christian athletes and eye of the Church of Christ, enlighten the eyes of our souls. Entreat the Lord, that we may escape the darkness of sin and may be shown to share in the never-waning light, through your supplications, O saints.

Mindful of the words of the holy Apostle Paul, that here on earth we have no continuing city, but we seek rather the promised land on high, thou didst depart thy beloved homeland, O saint, that thou mightest become a citizen of the heavenly Jerusalem.

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

Fleeing the malice of the ungodly, O Jonah, thou didst scale mighty mountains and cross arid plains; but ever mindful of the words of him who crieth in the wilderness, thou didst prepare the ways of the Lord, making straight a highway for God in the desert.

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

Thou didst not falter when thou didst follow Christ, O ever-memorable one, for in thy progress through life thou didst manifestly see that every valley was exalted, every mountain and hill were made low, the crooked paths made straight and the rough places plain.

Glory…, in Tone VIII—

A good shepherd and fervent teacher wast thou for thy flock, O holy hierarch Jonah, and we ever extol thee in hymnody as the splendid ornament of the Church of God. Wherefore, we beseech thee: Never cease to pray for those who hymn thee and keep thy memory; and ever intercede, that we be granted remission of sins and salvation for our souls.

O unwedded Virgin who didst ineffably conceive God in the flesh, Mother of God Most High: Accept the entreaties of thy servants, O most immaculate one, granting unto all cleansing of transgressions; and, accepting now our supplications, pray thou that we all be saved.

Thou wast a good pastor for the Russian people, who had departed in exodus to live in a foreign land, guiding them in every way, but especially by the love of Christ, in all ways providing a model of love unfeigned. O father Jonah, holy hierarch of Christ, entreat Him for the salvation of our souls.
