Resurrectional Apolytikion
From on high did You descend, O merciful Lord. For us did You endure three days in the tomb that we may be released from passions in this world. You Who are our resurrection and our life, glory unto You, O Lord.
Apolytikion for The Falling Asleep of St. John the Evangelist and Theologian
O Apostle, the beloved of Christ God, hasten to deliver us, a people that has no excuse. He accepts you supplicating Him, for He condescended at the Supper to let you lean on Him. Entreat Him, O Theologian, that He scatter the persistent cloud of hostile nations, and pray for us, for peace and great mercy.
Apolytikion of the Church
Facing danger at sea and fearful persecution, you became a chosen vessel of the Savior. With your sermons you enlightened the nations, and to the Athenians you revealed the unknown God. Teacher of the nations, St. Paul the Apostle, protector of us all: keep us who honor you safe from every trial and danger.
Kontakion
O protection of Christians unshamable, mediation before the Creator unchanging. O reject not the prayerful cries of sinners. Instead come to us for you are good. Your loving help bring unto us who are crying in faith to you. Quicken to intercession and hasten to supplication, you who protect for ever, Theotokos, those who honor you.
Apolytikion for The Feast of the Holy Skepi of the Theotokos
O Virgin, we extol the great grace of thy Protection, which thou didst spread out like a bright cloud beyond all understanding; for thou dost invisibly protect thy people from the foe's every assault. Since we have thee as our shelter and certain help, we cry to thee with our whole soul: Glory to thy great deeds, O most pure Maid. Glory to thy shelter most divine. Glory to thy care and providence for us, O spotless one. -Translation by Holy Transfiguration Monastery, Brookline, MA
