Resurrectional Apolytikion Third Tone
Ευραινέσθω τά ουράνια, αγαλλιάσθω τά επίγεια, ότι εποίησε κράτος εν βραχίονι αυτού ο Κύριος• επάτησε τώ θανάτω τόν θάνατον• πρωτότοκος τών νεκρών εγένετο, εκ κοιλίας Άδου ερρύσατο ημάς, καί παρέσχε τώ κόσμω τό μέγα έλεος.
Let all the things above in heaven 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.


Hymn of our Church, for St. Paul, the Apostle to the Nations
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.
O preacher to the gentiles and thrice grandest shining star, the Athenians teacher and the universe ornament, we joyously honor you. 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 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

Sung at the Small Entrance
Δεύτε προσκυνήσωμεν καί προσπέσωμεν Χριστώ. Σώσον ημάς Υιέ Θεού, ο αναστάς εκ νεκρών, ψάλλοντάς Σοι• Αλληλούια.
Come, let us worship and bow before Christ. Save us, O Son of God who rose from the dead, to You we sing: Alleluia.
