The work of Joseph.

Troparia:
1.
Having lived in continence, the enlightened Apostles of
Christ make easy for us the time of continence by their
divine intercessions.
2.
Like a twelve-stringed instrument, the divine choir of the
Disciples sings the song of salvation, and confounds the
racket of the evil one.
3.
With showers of the Spirit, O all-blessed Apostles, you
have watered everything under the sun and banished the
drought of polytheism.
Refrain:
Most holy Mother of God, save us.
Theotokion:
Humble and save me who have lived high-mindedly,
O all-pure Virgin, who gavest birth to Him Who exalted our
humbled nature.
ANOTHER TRIODION, the work of Theodore.
Eirmos
I have heard, O Lord, the report of Thee, and am
afraid. I contemplate Thy works and glorify Thy
power, O Lord.

Holy Apostles, pray for us.
