Apolytikion of St. Dumitru (Tone 8): O luminary of Orthodoxy, support and teacher of the Church, treasure of priesthood and divine interpreter of dogmas, O Father Dumitru, most honourable vessel of choice and herald of grace, intercede with Christ our God that our souls may be saved.
Apolytikion of Ss. Cleopa and Paisie (Tone 3): Let us honor from our hearts the graceful spiritual fathers of Moldavia, who struggled on earth with faith and one heart, the great and humble Cleopas, the preacher of Christ, and the gentle and long-suffering Paisios, saying: Glory to Him who has glorified you! Glory to Him who has enlightened you! Glory to Him who has shown you as unceasing intercessors for us!
