Troparion to St. Sidónia, Tone 1. Special Melody: While Gabriel Was Saying.
O Virgin, thou didst follow the Virgin Theotokos. * Thou dost hold the Robe without seam, which She fashioned for our Saviour. * Sidónia, thou faithful saint of God, * thou gavest thyself wholly unto Christ, * and He brought thee to the mansions in Heaven’s heights, * to dwell in His Light forever. * Pray thou that we may all be taken up * by the Lord’s hand into Paradise. * Plead for us when thou dost return the Robe to Him on Judgment Day.

Troparion to St. Nina, Tone 4
O Handmaid of the Word of God,
who in preaching has equalled the first-called Apostle Andrew,
And hast emulated the other Apostles,
O enlightener of Iberia and reed pipe of the Holy Spirit,
Holy Nina, Peer of the Apostles:
pray to Christ God to save our souls.
