Irmos: Having traversed the depths of the Red Sea with dryshod feet, Israel of old vanquished the might of Amalek in the wilderness by Moses’ arms stretched out in the form of the Cross.
Shining with the radiance of grace, the all-wise Paul emitted thee like a beam of light, O blessed Archippus, dispelling the deepest darkness of polytheism by the Spirit.
Theotokion: Descrying from afar, with the eyes of prophecy, the dread mystery of thy divine birthgiving which passeth understanding, O most pure one, the divinely eloquent ones described it using divers images.
Thou wast made captive by the divine net of the words of the preacher Paul, and didst most gloriously drag men forth from the abyss of the malice of the enemy, and didst offer them at the banquet of God as noetical food.
Clad in the raiment of divine grace, O glorious Archippus, in the vesture of incorruption and the divine garment of salvation thou didst clothe those stripped bare of the glory of God.
