Receiving the effulgence of the Trinity in thy soul, O James, thou didst forsake the dark deception of the world and didst receive transcendent glory.
Theotokion: O Maiden, thou gavest birth unto the one infinite God of all, Who in His goodness became finite within thee. Him do thou entreat, that He save those who hymn thee.

From thine infancy thou wast a vessel containing the gifts of the Spirit, and a citizen and heir of the heavenly Sion, O blessed James.
