Dwelling in the habitations of heaven, O martyrs, vouchsafe enlightenment unto those who praise you on earth.

Ye were shown to be pillars of the Church, breaking down the ramparts of the madness of idolatry, O all-valiant athletes of Christ.

Thou wast wounded with the love of the Master of all, for Whose sake thou didst go forth to die, O right wondrous martyr Agapius.
