Prayers

Apolytikion: Ye adorned your Divinely-wrought robe of chastity with the sublime varied colours of sacred virtues in God, when with one accord ye strove in the ascetic life. Wherefore, your silence on the Earth was received equally with the Thrice-Holy Hymn in Heaven; O wise Andronicus, Pray God, with Athanasia, that we all be saved.

Let us cry to them: Rejoice, O yoke-mates in Holiness.
