Apolytikion (Second Tone)
When you descended to the realm of death You as life immortal rendered to Hades a mortal blow by Your all radiant dignity. And when You from infernal depths and the darkness below did raise the dead. All the hosts of heaven's powers did proclaim and cry out, O life giving Christ and our God we give glory. - Translation from Green Hymnal

Hymn of the Church
Having seen the sign of the Cross in the sky and like Paul having received his calling from heaven, and not from men, Your apostle among Kings, Lord, placed his capitol in Your hand. Preserve our country in everlasting peace, through the intercessions of the Theotokos, for You alone are the Lover of mankind.

A protection of Christians unshameable * Intercessor to our Holy Maker, unwavering * Reject not, the prayerful cries of those who are in sin * instead, come to us for you are good * Your loving help bring unto us * Who are crying in faith to you * hasten to intercede * And speed now to supplicate * As a protection for all times * Theotokos for those who honor you
