St. John the Russian, Troparion, in Tone IV
The Lord, Who summoned thee forth from thine earthly captivity to the mansions of heaven, preserveth thy body intact and impar-teth to it the ability to heal, O righteous John; for thou, who wast captured in Russia and sold in Asia, didst live piously among the Moslem infidels, in great endurance, and, having sown here in tears, thou reapest there in ineffable joy. Wherefore, entreat Christ God, that our souls be saved.
Kontakion, in Tone IV
The day of the commemoration of thy holy deeds hath dawned, O holy father John, gladdening the souls of the pious who honor thee with faith.
Kontakion, in Tone VIII
On the day of thine honored commemoration, O saint, Russia, who raised thee in piety, is gladdened by thee, and Asia, where thou didst travel the narrow path of suffering captivity and ascetic struggles, rejoiceth in thy healing relics. Thou hast been shown to be a precious vessel of the grace of God, which do thou also beg for us who honor thee, that we may cry out to thee: Rejoice, O John, thou namesake of grace!
