The Holy Glorious and All-Praised Leaders of the Apostles, Peter and Paul

Troparion — Tone 4

O foremost of the Apostles and teachers of the inhabited earth, / intercede with the Master of all / to grant peace to the world and great mercy to our souls.

Kontakion — Tone 2

(The original melody)
You received the steadfast and divinely-inspired Heralds, O Lord, the Foremost Apostles, / for the enjoyment of Your blessings and repose. / For You recognized their labors and death as greater than any burnt offering, / for You alone know what is in the hearts of men.

Kontakion — Tone 2

Today Christ the Rock1 glorifies the rock of Faith / and leader of the Apostles with highest honor. / Together with Paul and the company of the Twelve, / whose memory we celebrate with eagerness of faith, / giving glory to Him Who glorified them.

Icon of the Mother of God of Kasperov

Troparion — Tone 4

Today, we Orthodox people celebrate joyously, / sheltered by your coming, O Mother of God, / and beholding your Most Pure Icon, we say tenderly: / “Cover us with your revered veil and deliver us from all evil, / entreating your Son, Christ God, to save our souls.”

Kontakion — Tone 3

Today the Virgin is in the Church, and with the assembly of the Saints, / invisibly prays to God for us. / The Angels worship with the Hierarchs, the Apostles rejoice with the Prophets; / and the Theotokos prays to the Pre-eternal God for our sake.
