The memory of the righteous is praised with hymns, and for you the testimony of the Lord is sufficient, O Forerunner. For you were truly shown to be more honorable than the prophets, since you were deemed worthy to baptize in the waters Him whom you had proclaimed. Therefore, having suffered for the truth, with joy you proclaimed God even to those in Hades—Him who was manifested in the flesh, who took away the sin of the world and granted us great mercy.(Troparion of Saint John the Baptist)

When You were baptized in the Jordan, O Lord, the worship of the Holy Trinity was revealed; for the voice of the Father bore witness to You, calling You His beloved Son, and the Spirit, in the form of a dove, confirmed the truth of His word. O Christ God, Who have revealed Yourself and enlightened the world, glory to You.
(Troparion, Tone 1)
