Great New Martyr Apostolos (1686)
Commemorated August 16
Of the town of St. Laurence, martyred in Constantinople (1686)
Troparion
Thy martyr, O Lord, Apostolos, through his suffering, an incorruptible crown did obtain from Thee, our God; for, rejoicing in Thy strength, he laid low his tormentors and did beat off impotent affronts of the demons also; at his intercessions save our souls.
Kontakion
Thou hast appeared as a bright star, uninviting for the world, but a sun announcing Christ with thy rays, O martyr Apostolos; all the enchantment hast thou extinguished and grantest unto us light, supplicating incessantly for us all.
