Troparion of the Forefeast Tone 4

Today Anna betroths us to joy instead of grief,/ having blossomed forth a fruit, the only Ever-Virgin./ She brings her with gladness into the temple of the Lord/ in fulfillment of her vow./ She is the Mother and Temple of God the Word.

Troparion of Ss Gregory and Proclus
Tone 4
The twofold lamps of divine gifts,/ Proclus shepherd of New Rome and Gregory scion of Decapolis,/ guide us by the light of grace as divinely-inspired fathers./ Let us draw near and eagerly beseech them,/ that we may receive forgiveness and the salvation of our souls.

Kontakion of the Forefeast Tone 4

Today the world is filled with gladness/ at the feast of the Mother of God,/ and cries out: She is the heavenly tabernacle.

Kontakion of St. Gregory Tone 3

The Church knows thee as a sun enlightening all/ with virtue and rays of healing./ We celebrate thy memory/ and honour thy struggles,/ O blessed Father Gregory.

Kontakion of St. Proclus Tone 4

Today the most honoured of cities/ celebrates thy holy departure to heaven,/ O blessed Father Proclus.
