Commemorated on April 27
Troparion - Tone 1
We praise you as a kinsman of Christ,
A great hierarch and a steadfast martyr, O Simeon,
Who destroyed deceit and kept the faith;
Wherefore celebrating now your all-holy memory,
Through your prayers we receive forgiveness of sins.
Kontakion - Tone 4
Having the eloquent Simeon as a magnificent star,
The Church is enlightened and cries:
Rejoice, O precious crown of the martyrs!
Kontakion - Tone 2
As one who had become a citizen of Zion on high,
You were ordained to the throne of Zion below.
You guided your flock to the heavenly sheepfold
And were crucified for Christ,
Imitating his passion, O Simeon!
