Kontakion - Tone 4
Today we celebrate together your honored memory,
And we faithfully beseech you, O holy Joannicius
That we may find mercy with the Lord!
Troparion - Tone 8
By a flood of tears you made the desert fertile,
And your longing for God brought forth fruits in abundance.
By the radiance of miracles you illumined the whole universe!
O our holy father Joannicius, pray to Christ our God to save our souls!
Troparion - Tone 4
In your manner a participant,
And in your throne a successor of the Apostles,
You discovered action an entrance into visions,
O inspired one of God.
Therefore directing the Word of truth,
You suffered for the faith even unto blood.
O Bishop and Martyr Nicander, pray to Christ God that our souls may be saved!
