Απολυτίκιον Ήχος α΄ "Της ερήμου πολίτης"
Ληξουρίου τον γόνον, Ιερέων το καύχημα, της Κεφαλληνίας φωστήρα νεοφανώς ανατείλαντα, τιμήσωμεν εν ύμνοις Π Α Ν Α Γ Η Ν, τον μύστην της Τριάδος της σεπτής, εμφανώς κεκοσμημένον προφητικώ του Πνεύματος χαρίσματι. Διο τον δοξάσαντα αυτόν λαμπρώς αντιδοξάσωμεν, ινα ευρωμεν χάριν και πταισμάτων την συγχώρησιν.

Κοντάκιον Ήχος γ΄ "Η Παρθένος σήμερον"
Χαρμοσύνοις άσμασι, Κεφαλληνία η νήσος, συγκαλείται σήμερον των φιλεόρτων τα πλήθη, έρεισμα της Εκκλησίας ανευφημήσαι, σέμνωμα νεοφανέντα Ορθοδοξίας, Παναγήν τον Θεηγόρον, Χριστού τον μυστην και ταύτης αγλάϊσμα.

Μεγαλυνάριον
Τον του Ληξουρίου γόνον λαμπρόν, Ορθοδόξων κλέος Ιερέων υπογραμμόν, της Κεφαλληνίας αγλάϊσμα το νέον, τον Παναγήν τον Θείον ύμνοις τιμήσωμεν.
