Apolytikion of Saint Photini

All illumined by the Holy Spirit, you did drink with great and ardent longing of the waters Christ the Savior gave to you; and with the streams of salvation you were refreshed, which you abundantly gave to those who thirst. O Great Martyr and true peer of Apostles, Photini, entreat Christ God to grant great mercy on us.
