Prayers
Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone: After disciplining thyself with Prayer and Fasting on the mountain, thou didst destroy the hosts of Spiritual enemies with the weapon of the Cross. Thou didst bravely arm thyself again for Martyrdom, and wast Crowned both for thy life and for thy death, O Blessed Hieromartyr Dometius.
Kontakion in the Second Tone: Thou didst rise above Earthly things which drag down the mind, thou wast a great guide of Monks, O Dometius. Thou didst not fear the furious Emperor, who would not honour God. Therefore O Hieromartyr, thou didst die Chanting the Hymn: God is with me and no one is against me.
