Troparion

Holy Apostle Andronicus & Cc, Troparion, Tone III —
O holy apostles/ entreat the merciful God// that He grant to our souls remission of transgressions.

Kontakion, Tone II, "Seeking the highest..." —
Let us praise Andronicus, the apostle of Christ,/ the all-radiant star who illu­mined the nations/ with the light, of divine knowledge,/ and with him the all-wise Junia,/ who shone forth in piety;// and let us cry: Entreat Christ God without ceas­ing in behalf of our souls!
