¶1

Irmos: Prefiguring Thy three-day burial, the Prophet Jonah, praying within the sea monster, cried out: Deliver me from corruption, O Jesus, King of hosts!

¶2

Kontakion, in Tone IV: Spec. Mel.: “Thou hast appeared…”—

¶3

Through divine grace the shrine of thy relics poureth forth torrents of healings upon those in need, O holy hierarch; it taketh away sufferings and drowneth unclean spirits.

¶4

Theotokion: O most immaculate one, without pain thou gavest birth to the Creator Who taketh away our pain and toil and granteth mankind the food which entaileth no toil.

¶5

Thy discourse and the great revelation of thy miracles, delivering men from irrationality, O glorious Carpus, have guided the lost to piety.

¶6

Enlivened by divine power, O apostle, destroying the serpent who uttered blasphemy against the Most High, thou hast saved those devoured by him.

¶7

Illumined by the great outpouring of thy miracles, the Church hath ever acquired thee as an all-radiant star, O Apostle Carpus. Save those who honor thy memory with faith.
