APOLYTIKION - St. Demetrios
(English Translation 1) Third Tone
A great champion hath the whole world found thee to be when in grave perils; for thou dost put to flight the heathen, O victorious one. As thou didst humble Lyaeus’s arrogance and gavest boldness to Nestor in the stadium, thus, O holy Great Martyr Demetrius, do thou entreat Christ God that we be granted great mercy.
APOLYTIKION - St. Demetrios
(English Translation 2: Ages Initiative) Third Tone
All the world has you, its mighty champion, fortifying us in times of danger, and defeating our foes, O victorious one. So, as you humbled Lyaios’s arrogance by giving courage to Nestor in the stadium, O holy Great Martyr Demetrius, to Christ our God pray fervently, beseeching Him to grant us His great mercy.
Kontakion - St. Demetrios
Second Tone
God, Who hath given thee invincible strength, O Demetrius, hath adorned the Church with the royal purple of the streams of thy blood and hath kept thy city unharmed, for thou art the support thereof.
