Irmos: Traversing the deep on foot, as though it were dry land, and seeing the tyrant Pharaoh drowned, Israel cried aloud: Let us chant unto God a hymn of victory!
Canon to the Apostle, the acrostic whereof is: “I hymn the divine glory of Philip,” the composition of the venerable Joseph, in Tone VI —
Theotokion: He Who created all things out of nothingness had thee as the cause of His incarnation, O pure Mother of God. Wherefore, we, the faithful, bless thee as is meet.
Illumined with the most splendid radiance of Christ, O wise one, thou wast shown to be a secondary luminary in thy partaking of divinity, bearing a torch before the faithful in sacred manner, O glorious Philip.
In sacred manner hath the transcendent Word, Who brought about our entire being, appointed thee His sacred disciple to deliver the gentiles from unholy darkness, O wise one.
By the imposition of the hands of the sacred disciples thou wast chosen a sacred deacon with Stephen and the others, in that thou wast full of the Spirit of God, O Philip most wise.
