Тропарь преподобного Агафона Печерского, в Дальних пещерах, глас 8
Блага Небесная ради дел твоих стяжавый,/ благости тезоимените, Агафоне,/ моли Благаго Господа, молим тя тепле,/ яко да не лишит нас вечных благ Своих.

Кондак преподобного Агафона Печерского, в Дальних пещерах, глас 2
Ведый известно, яко снедию род человечь испаде из рая,/ постом же паки вниде в онь,/ постное избрал еси себе житие,/ в немже крепце подвизался, блаженне Агафоне,/ и бесовская шатания тем низлагая,/ приял еси целебныя дары от Христа Бога,/ Емуже присно молися о душах наших.
