Troparion of the Apostles Tone 4

Let us praise the divine Apostles,/ Crescens, Silvan, Silas, Andronicos and Epenetos./ Like rational heavens they shone with the glory of Him/ Who humbled Himself for our sake./ They entreat Christ that all may be saved.

Kontakion of the Apostles Tone 4

You appeared as branches of the vine of Christ,/ bearing virtues as clusters of wisdom,/ pouring on us the wine of salvation./ Receiving it we are filled with joy/ and celebrate your venerable memory./ Pray that our sins may be forgiven,/ O Apostles of the Lord.
