Troparion

Holy Hieromartyr & Wonderworker Tychon of Amathus, Troparion, in Tone I —
A desert dweller, an angel in the flesh,/ and a wonderworker wast thou shown to be,/ O our God-bearing father Tychon,/ for having acquired heavenly gifts through fasting, vigilance, and prayer,/ thou dost heal the infirm,/ and the souls of those who have recourse to thee with faith./ Glory to Him Who hath given thee strength!/ Glory to Him Who hath crowned thee!// Glory to Him Who worketh healings for all through thee!

Kontakion, Tone III, "Today the virgin..." —
Persevering in the struggle of the love of God, O holy one,/ from on high thou didst receive the power of the Comforter/ to cast down the idols of falsehood,/ to save men, to cast out demons and to heal sickness.// Wherefore, we honor thee as a friend of God, O blessed Tychon.
