Irmos: Christ, the Chief Cornerstone uncut by human hands, Who united the two disparate natures, was cut from thee, the unquarried mountain, O Virgin. Wherefore, in gladness we magnify thee, O Theotokos.
That thou mightest inherit everlasting glory, O martyr, thou didst disdain earthly glory which endureth not and is fleeting; and thou didst cleave unto Christ, adorned with His glory.
Theotokion: Bearing Christ in thine arms, Who holdeth all in His palm, O all-pure one, entreat Him as thy Son, that He deliver me from the hands of the enemy, and embrace and save me in the abyss of His loving-kindness.
Thy head was crowned with a wreath of victory and thou wast clothed in a robe of purple dyed in thy blood, O divinely wise Archippus; and, rejoicing, thou dost reign with Christ, O all-blessed one.
As the disciple of the wise and divinely eloquent Paul, preëminent among the apostles, thou rejoicest with him and art heir to everlasting delight, O most blessed one, adornment of the Colossians.
The people have assembled on the splendid day of thy commemoration, to hymn the beneficent Savior and the pangs which thou didst valiantly endure in martyrdom, O Archippus, casting down the most nefarious one.
