Hymns

Troparion (Tone 3) [1]

Holy apostle Philologus of the Seventy;

Entreat the merciful;

To grant our souls forgiveness of transgressions.

Kontakion (Tone 4) [2]

The Church ever sees you as a shining star, O apostle Philologus,

Your miracles have manifested great enlightenment.

Therefore we cry out to Christ:

"Save those who with faith honor Your apostle, O Most Merciful One."
