Dismissal Hymn (Third Tone)

O Holy Apostles, intercede to our merciful God, that He may grant our souls forgiveness of sins.

Kontakion (Second Tone)

As notable companions of the Apostles and true ministers of Jesus, you proved to be sacred heralds of His condescension; for having received the grace of the Spirit, O glorious Andronikos and Junia, you shine like lamps to the ends of the world.
