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.: “Thou hast appeared today…”—
Mercilessly the false one lacerated thee with stripes, O divinely wise one, yet thou wast in no wise weakened by his deceptions, but looked to the glory which Christ bestoweth upon thee, glorifying thee.
Theotokion: Having put off mortality, in paradise Adam was clothed in life, O Virgin, having attained immortality through thy life-bearing birthgiving, O most holy Bride of God.
Legions of the invisible foe didst thou wound with the wounds of thy flesh, O blessed Archippus; and denouncing the heart of the tyrant, thou didst rend it asunder with lacerations.
They who worshipped stones with hardened heart stoned thee, O blessed martyr, who confessed the Rock of life which crusheth the foundation of deception.
Possessing thee as a great star, O Archippus, and illumined by the rays of thy miracles, the Church crieth out to thee: Save those who honor thy memory with faith!
