Troparion of SS CONSTANTINE and HELENA ― Tone 8
O Lord, thy disciple Emperor Constantine, who saw in the sky the Sign of Thy Cross,/ Accepted the call that came straight from Thee, as it happened to Paul, and not from any man./ He built his capital and entrusted it to Thy care./ Preserve our country in everlasting peace, through the intercession of the Mother of God,/ for Thou art the Lover of mankind.
Troparion of SS CONSTANTINE and HELENA ― Tone 8
Having seen the figure of the Cross in the heavens, / and like Paul not having received his call from men, O Lord, / Your apostle among rulers, the Emperor Constantine, / has been set by Your hand as ruler over the Imperial City / that he preserved in peace for many years, / through the prayers of the Theotokos, O only lover of mankind.
Apolytikion of SS CONSTANTINE and HELENA ― Plagal Tone 4
Having seen the image of Thy Cross in Heaven, and like Paul, having received the call not from men, Thine apostle among kings entrusted the commonwealth to Thy hand, O Lord. Keep us always in peace, by the intercessions of the Theotokos, O only Friend of man.
Apolytikion of SS CONSTANTINE and HELENA ― Plagal Tone 4
He beheld the image of Your Cross in the Heavens and, as Paul, he too did not receive the call from men. Your Apostle among Kings placed the care of the Royal City in Your hands. Through the intercessions of the Theotokos, O only Loving Lord, keep it ever in peace.
Ἅγιοι ΚΩΝΣΤΑΝΤΊΝΟΣ καὶ ἙΛΈΝΗ ― Ἀπολυτίκιον ― Ἦχος πλ. δ’
Τοῦ Σταυροῦ σου τὸν τύπον ἐν οὐρανῷ θεασάμενος, καὶ ὡς ὁ Παῦλος τὴν κλῆσιν οὐκ ἐξ ἀνθρώπων δεξάμενος, ὁ ἐν Βασιλεῦσιν Ἀπόστολός σου Κύριε, Βασιλεύουσαν πόλιν τῇ χειρί σου παρέθετο· ἣν περισώζε διὰ παντὸς ἐν εἰρήνῃ, πρεσβείαις τῆς Θεοτόκου, μόνε Φιλάνθρωπε.
Ἅγιοι ΚΩΝΣΤΑΝΤΊΝΟΣ καὶ ἙΛΈΝΗ ― Ἀπολυτίκιον ― Ἦχος γ’. Θείας πίστεως
Πρῶτος πέφηνας, ἐν Βασιλεῦσι, θεῖον ἕδρασμα, τῆς εὐσεβείας, ἀπ’ οὐρανοῦ δεδεγμένος τὸ χάρισμα· ὅθεν Χριστοῦ τὸν Σταυρὸν ἐφανέρωσας, καὶ τὴν Ὀρθόδοξον πίστιν ἐφήπλωσας. Κωνσταντῖνε Ἰσαπόστολε, σὺν Μητρὶ Ἑλένῃ τῇ θεόφρονι, πρεσβεύσατε ὑπὲρ τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν.

Your godly life was made radiant by the trials of holy martyrdom, O glorious, righteous Martyr Pachomios. Through your ascetical deeds you shone forth on Athos and shed your blood as an Athlete. Intercede with the Lord Who has glorified you that He may grant us His great mercy.

Kontakion of SS CONSTANTINE and HELENA ― Tone 3
Today Constantine and Helena his mother expose to our veneration the Cross,/ the awesome Cross of Christ,/ a sign of salvation to the Jews/ and a standard of victory:/ a great symbol of conquest and triumph.
Kontakion of SS CONSTANTINE and HELENA ― Tone 3
Today Constantine and his mother Helen / reveal the precious Cross, / the weapon of the faithful / against their enemies. / For our sakes, it has been shown to be a great sign, and fearsome in battle.
Kontakion SS CONSTANTINE and HELENA ― Tone 3
On this day Constantine and blessed Helen, his mother, have revealed the Cross, the Wood, worthy of all veneration. For the Jews, it is dishonour; but faithful rulers have it as a weapon vanquishing their opponents. For our sakes hath it been shown forth as a great ensign, dread and most awesome in war.
Ἅγιοι ΚΩΝΣΤΑΝΤΊΝΟΣ καὶ ἙΛΈΝΗ ― Κοντάκιον ― Ἦχος γ’. Ἡ Παρθένος σήμερον
Κωνσταντῖνος σήμερον, σὺν τῇ μητρὶ τῇ Ἑλένῃ, τὸν Σταυρὸν ἐκφαίνουσι, τὸ πανσεβάσμιον ξύλον, πάντων μὲν, τῶν Ἰουδαίων αἰσχύνην ὄντα, ὅπλον δέ, πιστῶν ἀνάκτων κατ’ ἐναντίων· δι’ ἡμᾶς γὰρ ἀνεδείχθη, σημεῖον μέγα, καὶ ἐν πολέμοις φρικτόν.
