O Andrew, as the First-called of the Apostles / and brother of their Leader, / entreat the Master of all / to grant peace to the world / and to our souls great mercy.

Kontakion — Tone 2

(Podoben: “Neither the tomb, nor death could hold…” (Kontakion for the Dormition)
Let us praise Andrew, the divine preacher, / the namesake of courage, / the first-called of the Savior’s disciples / and the kinsman of Peter. / As he once called to his brother, now he cries out to us: / “Come, for we have found Him whom the world desires!”1
