THE HOLY APOSTLE ANDREW
THE FIRST CALLED

Let us praise the divine leader and namesake of courage,
first-called disciple and Peter's kinsman.
For as of old Christ called to him so he nows calls to us:
Come, we have found the Desired One.

(Kontakion of Saint Andrew, Tone 2)

As the first-called Apostle and brother of their leader
entreat the Master of all to grant peace to the world, O Andrew,
and great mercy to our souls.
