Troparion

Today the chosen city radiantly rejoices with the Most Holy Theotokos,
and the entire land of Vladimir triumphs with them,
celebrating the memory of the great assembly of the Saints glorified by God,
in the contests of the Orthodox from ancient times,
and in the company of those who have pleased God;
with them they cry out with love:
"O wondrous intercessors with Christ God, who have received bright crowns from Him,
beseech Him to grant peace and prosperity to your homeland,
and to our souls great mercy."

Kontakion

As bright stars of the Church of Russia,
shining forth in all the holy lands of Vladimir by your confession of faith,
O divinely-wise Saints:
Orthodox Princes, Venerable Fathers and Mothers, Passion-bearers, and you Righteous:
earnestly entreat Christ God to grant remission of sins to those who lovingly revere your holy memory.
