==Hymns==
[[Troparion]] ([[Tone]] 2 )
:The memory of the righteous is celebrated with hymns of praise,
:But the Lord¹s testimony is sufficient for you, O Forerunner.
:You were shown in truth to be the most honorable of the prophets,
:For you were deemed worthy to baptize in the streams of the Jordan Him whom they foretold.
:Therefore, having suffered for the truth with joy,
:You proclaimed to those in hell God who appeared in the flesh,
:Who takes away the sin of the world, and grants us great mercy.

[[Kontakion]] (Tone 5 )
:The glorious beheading of the Forerunner,
:Became an act of divine dispensation,
:For he preached to those in hell the coming of the Savior.
:Let Herodias lament, for she entreated lawless murder,
:Loving not the law of God, nor eternal life,
:But that which is false and temporal.
