Troparion of St. James Tone 4

O holy Apostle James,/ thou didst receive the fiery grace of the Spirit/ and didst shine on the world like the morning star;/ thou didst dispel the pagan night of idols./ Pray unceasingly for our souls.

Kontakion of St. James Tone 4

James was a wonderful fisherman of the nations/ and companion of the Disciples and Apostles./ He dispenses the wealth of his healings to the world/ and frees from distress those who honour him./ With one voice we cry to him: Save us all by thy prayers, O Apostle.
