Prayers
Apolytikion – 4th Tone: O Tikhon our Venerable Father, thou wast shown to be an all-radiant beacon in the midst of the Russian land; for, having made thine abode in the wilderness and led a strict way of life therein, thou didst live like an incorporeal being, for which cause God hath enriched thee with the gift of Miracles.

Kontakion – 4th Tone: Forsaking thy homeland, O Venerable one, thou didst make thine abode in the wilderness, where thou didst show thy manner of life to be strict; and amazing many by thy virtues, thou didst receive from Christ the gift of Miracles. Wherefore, remember us who honour thy memory, that we may cry out to thee: Rejoice, O Venerable Tikhon our Father!
