Troparia

St. Thomas Sunday, Troparion, Tone VII —
When the tomb was sealed, Thou, the Life, O Christ our God, didst rise up from the grave; and when the doors were closed, Thou, the Resurrection of all, didst stand among the disciples, and through them renew a right spirit in us, according to Thy mercy.

Kontakion, Tone VIII —
With his inquisitive right hand, Thomas probed Thy life-giving side, O Christ our God. For when Thou didst enter, the doors being shut, with the rest of the Apostles he cried to Thee: Thou art my Lord and my God.

St. Eutychius, Archbishop of Constantinople, Troparion, in Tone IV —
The truth of things revealed thee to thy flock as a rule of faith,/ a model of meekness and a teacher of abstinence/ wherefore thou hast attained the heights through humility/ and riches through poverty.// O hierarch Eutychius our father, entreat Christ God that our souls be saved.

Kontakion, Tone VIII —
Chanting, all ye people, with faith and love let us bless the godly Eutychius as a great pastor and minister, an all-wise teacher and expeller of heresies; for he entreateth the Lord in behalf of us all.
