Heavenly armies of the Archangel, / we always pray to you, we are unworthy, / with your prayers protect us / with the shelter of your immaterial glory, / preserving us who fall diligently and cry out: / deliver us from troubles, / like the rulers of the highest Powers.
Archistratizi - military leaders (archistratig - supreme strategist); We turn to the supreme ranks of the highest Powers - the leaders of the Heavenly angelic army. Always - always. The blood of the krill is the covering of the wings.
The creator of this troparion is St. John of Damascus.
