Apolytikion for The Elevation of the Venerable and Life-Giving Cross
Save your people, O Lord, and bless your inheritance. Grant to your people victory, against their enemies. And protect your commonwealth, by your Cross.

Kontakion
Lifted up on the Cross by Your free will, Christ God, grant mercies to the new commonwealth that bears Your name. Gladden our faithful rulers by Your power, giving them victories over their adversaries. May Your alliance be for them a weapon for peace, an invincible standard.
