Apolytikion (Third Tone)
Amen. Let all things above in heav'n rejoice, and let all things below on earth be glad. With all the might and strength of His arm an eternal deed the Lord did perform. Beneath His feet He has trampled down death by death, and first born of the dead has He become. From the womb of Hades has He delivered us, and to all the world has granted His great redeeming mercy. - 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.
Kontakion
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 time * Theotokos for those who honor you.
Apolytikion for Marcianos & Martyrios the Notaries, Chrysanthe
Thy Martyrs, O Lord, in their courageous contest for Thee received as the prize the crowns of incorruption and life from Thee, our immortal God. For since they possessed Thy strength, they cast down the tyrants and wholly destroyed the demons' strengthless presumption. O Christ God, by their prayers, save our souls, since Thou art merciful. - Translation by Holy Transfiguration Monastery
