Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 2

O Apostle beloved of Christ God, / hasten to deliver a defenseless people. / He Who permitted you to recline on His breast / receives you as you bow before Him; / entreat Him, O Theologian, / to dispel the persistence of the heathen, and to grant us peace and great mercy.

Kontakion — Tone 2

(Original Melody)
Who can tell of your greatness, / O virgin disciple? / You pour forth miracles, and are a fountain of healing, / and you intercede for our souls as a Theologian and the friend of Christ.
