The Master has established you as a resplendent sun Shining on all the faithful. He has accepted your life, faith and contest as myrrh, O glorious Martyr Phocas, For he is rich in mercy!
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.
