Like the Apostle Paul, O Vladimir, thou didst abandon childish ways/ and in manhood wast royally adorned with Baptism./ Now thou art joyfully standing in the presence of Christ our Savior:/ pray that Orthodox Hierarchs and people, and all creation, may be saved.

SUNDAY OF THE HOLY FATHERS OF THE SEVEN ECUMENICAL COUNCILS
Troparion Tone 8
Glorious art Thou, O Christ our God/ Who hast established our holy fathers as stars on earth./ Through them Thou dost guide us to the True Faith./ O Most Merciful One, glory to Thee.
Kontakion Tone 8
The preaching of the Apostles and the doctrine of the Fathers confirmed the one faith in the Church./ In the garment of truth woven from theology on high she rightly divides and glorifies true piety.
