Irmos: I will sacrifice to Thee with a voice of praise, O Lord, the Church crieth unto Thee, cleansed of the blood of demons by the blood which, for mercy’s sake, flowed from Thy side.
Kontakion, in Tone IV: Spec. Mel.: “Having been lifted up…”—
Having crucified thy members by asceticism and struggled in fasting, O blessed Antypas, thou wast crowned with the struggles of martyrdom, which thou didst undergo with firmness of mind.
Theotokion: Holy is Jesus, O Virgin Maiden, Who made His abode in thy womb, Who resteth in the saints and glorifieth those who glorify Him with true faith.
Thou didst stand before the tribunal, preaching the incarnation of Him Who abased Himself for thy sake, Who stood before the tribunal of Pilate and hath slain the enemy by the Cross, O passion-bearer.
The Church, wherein thy patient body lieth, O blessed martyr, is the healing of the sick and emitteth the divine effulgence of the gifts of the Spirit.
Thou didst occupy the throne of the apostles and wast the adornment of holy hierarchs, O blessed and sacred Antypas, and having been glorified in martyrdom thou hast shone forth like the sun, illumining all; and thou didst destroy the deep night of ungodliness. Wherefore, we honor thee as a godly hieromartyr and giver of healings.
