Resurrectional Apolytikion
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 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 Arethas the Great Martyr & Syncletiki and her two daughters
The holy martyrs suffered painful tortures for Your sake, O Lord; be constrained by what they endured, and heal our every pain, we entreat You, as the only One who loves humanity.
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 Demetrios the Myrrhbearer & Great Martyr of Thessaloniki
The world has found in you a great champion in time of peril, as you emerged the victor in routing the barbarians. For as you brought to naught the boasts of Lyaios, imparting courage to Nestor in the stadium, in like manner, holy one, great Martyr Demetrios, invoke Christ God for us, that He may grant us His great mercy. -Translation by Narthex Press
