Troparion of St. Methodios Tone 1

Thy blood, O wise Methodios,/ cries to God from the earth like the blood of Abel./ O holy Martyr, thou didst preach Christ's incarnation/ and defeat the false doctrines of Origen./ Thou hast entered the heavenly bridal chamber:/ Pray to Christ our God that our souls may be saved.

Troparion of St. Kallistos Tone 4

The truth of things revealed thee to thy flock/ as a rule of faith, a model of meekness, and a teacher of temperance./ Therefore thou hast won the heights by humility, riches by poverty./ Holy Father Kallistos, intercede with Christ our God/ that our souls may be saved.

Kontakion of St. Methodios Tone 4

O Priest and initiate of the Holy Trinity,/ preacher of Divine commandments/ and support of the Orthodox,/ thou didst expose the errors of false doctrine/ and shed thy blood as a martyr for the Faith./ O Methodios, standing before Christ with the Angels,/ pray that we may be saved.
