'''Apolytikion of St. Jacob of Hamatoura - 3rd Mode "Thy Confession of the true divine faith...":'''
As a cedar of Lebanon groweth * without fear of martyrdom and death, * thou didst become a victor, O Father Jacob. * Thou didst conquer death in thy body * when by humility thou didst control the passions * and when thou wast burnt like incense as a sacrifice. * Intercede with Christ to grant us great mercy.
