Resurrectional Apolytikion Fourth Tone
When the tidings of the resurrection from the glorious angel was proclaimed unto the women disciples and our ancestral sentence also had been abolished to the Apostles with the boasting did they proclaim that death is vanquished ever more and Christ Our God has risen from the dead and granted to the world His great mercy.

Apolytikion for Mid-Pentecost
At Mid-feast give Thou my thirsty soul to drink of the waters of piety; for Thou, O Saviour, didst cry out to all: Whosoever is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. Wherefore, O Well-spring of life, Christ our God, glory be to Thee.

Apolytikion for the Hierarchs of Byzantium
O illustrious leaders and shepherds of Byzantium, ye have been revered as wise hierarchs throughout many ages. And therefore now the Holy Church of Christ doth praise with hymns your pious way of life. O distinguished luminaries, by your pure lives ye kindle zeal in those who cry out: Glory to Him that hath given you strength. Glory to Him that hath crowned you. Glory to Him that hath affirmed the Orthodox faith through you.

Apolytikion of the Church
O leaders of the Apostles and teachers of the world, intercede with the Master of all that He may grant peace unto the world and to our souls His great mercy.

Kontakion
Though Thou didst descend into the grave, O Immortal One, yet didst Thou destroy the power of Hades, and didst arise as victor, O Christ God, calling to the myrrh-bearing women, Rejoice and giving peace unto Thine Apostles, O Thou Who dost grant resurrection to the fallen.
