Or this troparion, in the same tone
Thou wast an apostle of Christ who learned from the pre-eminent Peter,/ and didst shine like the sun upon the lands of the Alexandrians, being their adornment./ Through thee was Egypt freed from deception, O blessed one,/ who as the Church's pillar of fire dost illumine all with thy teaching of the Gospel./ Wherefore, honoring thy memory, we keep splendid festival, O divinely eloquent Mark./ Entreat God Who was announced by thee,// that He grant our souls remission of offenses.
Kontakion, Tone II ''Seeking the highest..."
Receiving from on high the grace of the Spirit,/ thou didst destroy the snares of the orators, O apostle,/ and, hunting all the nations,/ thou didst lead them to thy Master,/ O most glorious Mark,// preaching the divine Gospel.
