Prayers
Apolytikion: In the flesh you lived the life of Angels, you were citizens of the desert and treasuries of grace, O Onouphrios adornment of Egypt, and Peter the light of Athos. Wherefore we honour your struggles as we sing to you: Glory to Him Who has strengthened you; glory to Him Who has made you wonderful; glory to Him Who through you works healings for all.
Kontakion: By your achievements in the wilderness you became like the Bodiless Powers, godly Onouphrios, and venerable Peter adornment of Athos, you heavenly-minded pair who sing: Alleluia.
By Abba Paphnutios: And the commandment of one tunic Father, you exceeded having gone about naked to the end. On the twelfth Onouphrios was removed from life without a tunic.
