Troparion of the hieromartyr, Tone III
As thou didst willingly lay down thy life for thy flock, O glorious hieromartyr Ælphege, thine innocent blood crieth out to God like that of Abel and Zachariah; wherefore, standing now with boldness before the Most High, with them thou dost ever beseech Him to have mercy and save the souls of those who honor thy sacred memory with love
Kontakion, in Tone II
Celebrating the sacred memorial of the holy Ælphege, who willingly shed his blood for Christ the Master, let us clap our hands in gladness, O ye Christians, ever mindful of his heavenly intercession; for, abiding in eternal glory, he prayeth continually before the throne of the Lord, that all who honor his memory with love may have their sins forgiven.
