Troparion, Tone 4: Like a radiant star, you shone from east to west, / for after leaving your homeland, you reached the region of Vyatka. and the God-protected city of Khlynov, / where you established a Monastery for the glory of the Most Holy Theotokos. / There you gathered a multitude of monks, directing them to the path of salvation. / You were a converser with Angels and a colleague of Fasters, / O Venerable Tryphon. / With them, entreat Christ God for the salvation of our souls.

Kontakion, Tone 8: You placed the fear of God in your soul as the beginning of the foundation of the virtues, O blessed one; / from your youth you took up your cross, and devoutly followed Christ, / putting on the Angelic image; / you were a wondrous monk, blossoming with virtues, and striving for God. / You were merciless, regarding your body as an enemy, O Father, / and by your patience you became like gold tested in a furnace. / Do not forget to visit your children now, and remember us who revere your glorious memory, / that we may cry out to you: “Rejoice, O wise Tryphon, instructor of monks.”
