Prayers
Apolytikion in the Third Tone: You accepted the light, of the Divine Faith, your works shined, with piety, Venerable Polyxene the Divinely-inspired, and you magnified Christ by your life, as well as by your blameless actions, therefore intercede to the Lord who Glorified you, to grant us the great mercy.
Apolytikion in the First Tone: You followed in the footsteps of the Apostles, by your life through good works of brotherly love, distributing pure love, wondrous Xanthippe, and the Venerable all-radiant beauty Polyxene, and now you entreat Christ, revered sisters, on our behalf.
Kontakion in the Fourth Tone: Having traversed the Earth, by your most-wondrous conduct you brought to light Venerable women like yourselves, Divine Xanthippe and Polyxene; wherefore you received an Unfading Crown from the Hands of Our Jesus, now hearing our cries: Rejoice pair most-Divine.
Megalynarion: Rejoice, pair of sisters, Venerable women, disciples of the Apostles; rejoice, Polyxene and all-revered Xanthippe, for you spent your life sensibly.
