انتظرت أن يزودنا أحد بتراتيل الميناون، ولكن يبدو أنه لم يستطع أحد الوصول إلى الميناون. على كل حال، هذه بعض التراتيل والسنكسار الخاصة بعيد القديس يعقوب أخي الرب التي وضعها أحدهم في أحد المنتديات الأرثوذكسية باللغة الإنجليزية:

You were the Lord's presumed brother when He appeared in the flesh, O James the wise and righteous, His disciple and witness of mysteries of God; for together with Him you fled to Egypt as fugitives along with Joseph and Jesus' pure Mother. All together pray that we be saved.

The sacred band of Apostles selected you to be the first to serve as bishop in the city of Zion for Christ the Benefactor; for when He was born in the flesh, you were His presumed brother, and travelled with Him and believed in Him, and you followed in His steps, O James.

And, the Synaxarion reading for Matins:

James is called God’s brother because he was the son of the righteous Joseph, the betrothed of the Most-holy Theotokos; he greatly loved Jesus. According to tradition, James traveled to Egypt with the Most-holy Virgin and Joseph, when Herod sought to slay the newborn King. The Lord numbered James among His Seventy Apostles and he compiled the first Liturgy. James was Bishop of Jerusalem for thirty years and converted many Jews and Greeks to the Christian Faith. When Ananias became High Priest, he and other Jewish elders determined to kill James during the feast of Passover. They forced James to climb onto the roof of the Temple and tried to make him speak against Christ. Instead, he spoke of Christ as the Son of God and the true Messiah, and of His Resurrection. The infuriated priests and elders pushed him off the roof, but he survived. Then, one man ran up and struck James on the head with a fuller’s club and, thus, this most glorious apostle died a martyr’s death.
