Apolytikion of Theoctistus the Righteous
Plagal of the Fourth Tone
With the rivers of your tears, you have made the barren desert fertile. Through sighs of sorrow from deep within you, your labors have borne fruit a hundred-fold. By your miracles you have become a light, shining upon the world. O Theoctistus, our Holy Father, pray to Christ our God, to save our souls.
Kontakion of Theoctistus the Righteous
Fourth Tone
Thou didst rise out of the West, O Theoctistus, mystically illumining the Church of Christ like a bright sun with the resplendent and sacred rays of thine ascetical labours, O righteous one.
