Commemorated on July 22
The Transfer of the Relics of the Hieromartyr Phocas from Sinope to
Constantinople occurred on July 22 in either the year 403 or 404. His
life is found under September 22.
TROPARION - TONE 4
By sharing in the ways of the Apostles, / you became a successor to
their throne. / Through the practice of virtue, you found the way to
divine contemplation, / O inspired one of God; / by teaching the word
of truth without error, you defended the Faith, / even to the shedding
of your blood. / Hieromartyr Phocas entreat Christ God to save our
souls.
KONTAKION - TONE 2
The Master established you as a brilliant sun / shining on all the
faithful, glorious hieromartyr Phocas. / He has accepted your life,
faith and contest as myrrh, / for He is rich in mercy.
