Troparion

As the enlighteners of the Serbs, O God-bearing Fathers,
holy patriarchs and great shepherds,
guardians of the Apostolic traditions,
unshakable pillars, and teachers of Orthodoxy:
Beseech Christ, the Master of All,
to grant peace to the world, and to our souls great mercy.

Kontakion

Enthroned as hierarchs, and living lives worthy of praise,
in God-pleasing manner you guided your people to knowledge of God:
Because of this you were glorified by Him
through miracles and incorruption,
as befits pupils of the grace of God.
