Troparion of the Prophet Ezekiel Tone 3

Inspired by the Holy Spirit, O Prophet of God,/ thou didst proclaim the fulfillment of mysteries:/ God the Word's ineffable abasement/ and the resurrection of the dead from all past ages./ O glorious Ezekiel, entreat Christ our God to grant us His great mercy.

Troparion of Sts Simeon and John Tone 4

Righteous John and divine Symeon,/ united to God and united in soul to one another:/ one of you lived an inspired life in the desert,/ and the other by his foolishness made a fool of Belial./ Now you are rejoicing in heavenly glory: ever watch over us.

Kontakion of the Prophet Ezekiel Tone 4

Thou didst appear as a Prophet of God/ and foretell the Lord's incarnation to all,/ even of the Lamb and Creator Who became manifest as God's eternal Son.

Kontakion of Sts Simeon and John Tone 2

Let us praise angelic and Godbearing Symeon/ who in the flesh appeared fleshless and shone with virtues;/ and with him let us praise glorious John,/ for they ever intercede with Christ our God for us all.
