Troparion - Tone 4
By sharing in the ways of the Apostles,
you became a successor to their throne.
Through the practice of virtue, you found the way to divine contemplation, O
inspired one of God;
by teaching the word of truth without error, you defended the Faith, even to
the shedding of your blood.
Hieromartyr Phocas entreat Christ God to save our souls.
Kontakion - Tone 2
The Master established you as a brilliant sun
shining on all the faithful, glorious hieromartyr Phocas.
He has accepted your life, faith and contest as myrrh,
for He is rich in mercy.
