Тропар
Beholding the image of Thy Cross in the sky,
and like Paul receiving a call not from men,
Thine apostle among kings placed the imperial city in Thy hands, O Lord.
Do Thou save it ever in peace, through the supplications of the Theotokos,
O Thou Who alone lovest mankind.
Кондак
Today Constantine and his mother Helena
reveal the Cross, the most precious Tree, which putteth to shame all the Jews
and is the weapon of faithful kings against the adversary,
For our sake hath the great standard appeared,
terrible in battle.
