O Dorotheos, wise Hierarch of Christ,/ thou didst receive the light of wisdom as a gift from the Father of lights./ Thou didst increase the talents given to thee/ and contest in thine old age beyond the bounds of nature./ And thou, O Hieromartyr, art interceding for our souls.
Kontakion of St. Dorotheos Tone 3
By preaching Orthodox doctrine, O Hieromartyr,/ thou didst offer thyself as a godly and holy gift./ Thou didst first excel in asceticism/ and then contest in martyrdom,/ and attain to receiving the victor's prize from Christ our God.
