On Friday night:
O Apostles, Martyrs, and Prophets, Venerable and Righteous Ones; ye that
have accomplished a good labor and kept the Faith, that have boldness
before the Savior; O Good Ones, intercede for us, we pray, that our souls
be saved.
Glory to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
With the saints give rest, O Christ, to the souls of Thy servants, where there
is neither sickness, nor sorrow, nor sighing, but life everlasting.
Both now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
To Thee, O Lord, the Planter of creation, the world doth offer the God-
bearing martyrs as the first-fruits of nature. By their intercessions preserve
Thy Church, Thy commonwealth, in profound peace, through the
Theotokos, O Greatly-merciful One.
The troparion for a church patron saint is not said on Saturdays.
On Saturday at Compline, the troparion and Kontakion of the Resurrection in the occurring tone are read.
