Resurrectional Apolytikion Grave Tone
By Your Cross, O Christ our God, You destroyed death. You opened paradise to the thief. You transformed the lament of the Myrrh-bearing women, and You commanded the Apostles to proclaim You are risen, granting the world Your great mercy. -Translation by Narthex Press

Apolytikion of the Church
Ethnos se kirika ke fostira trismegiston, Athineon didaskalon ekoumenis aglaisma, efrosinos gereromen tous agonas timomen ke tas vasanous thriahiston, to septon sou martirion, Agie Paule, Apostole, presveve Christo to Theo, sothine tas psichas imon.

We pay homage to the struggles that you had for sake of Christ, and your dignified martyrdom.Holy and glorious Apostle Paul. Intercede with Christ our God, entreating Him to save our souls.

Kontakion
O Protection of Christians that cannot be put to shame, mediation unto the creator most constant: O despise not the voices of those who have sinned; but be quick, O good one, to come unto our aid, who in faith cry unto thee: Hasten to intercession and speed thou to make supplication, O thou who dost ever protect, O Theotokos, them that honor thee. - Translation by Holy Transfiguration Monastery

Apolytikion for Kallistratos the Martyr & his 49 Companions
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

Kontakion
O all-wise and godly Saints, today the whole Church, showing honour to you all, doth now in spirit sing your praise; for ye contested in her behalf, O right-victorious Martyrs of Christ our God. - Translation by Holy Transfiguration Monastery
