Saints Andronicus and Athanasia were from Antioch, and finished their lives in
asceticism about the year 500.
Apolytikion in the Plagal of the First Tone:
Ye adorned your divinely-wrought robe of chastity with the sublime
varied colours of sacred virtues in God, when with one accord ye
strove in the ascetic life. Wherefore, your silence on the earth
was received equally with the thrice-holy hymn in heaven; O wise
Andronicus, pray God, with Athanasia, that we all be saved.
Kontakion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone:
Let us the faithful crown with laurels of befitting hymns the wise
Andronicus, who lived in blameless righteousness, with the godly
Athanasia, his spouse in Christ God; who have shown the type of lawful
wedlock to the world and became divine examples of monastic life.
Let us cry to them: Rejoice, O yoke-mates in holiness.
