Repose of Venerable Sergius the Wonderworker, Abbot of Radonezh
Troparion — Tone 4
Athlete of virtues, / true warrior of Christ God, / you struggled mightily against the passions in this temporal life; / in psalmody, vigils, and fasting, you were an example to your disciples; / therefore, the most Holy Spirit dwelt in you, / and you were radiantly adorned by His activity. / Since you possess boldness before the Holy Trinity, / remember the flock which you gathered wisely, / and do not forget to visit your children as you promised, O Venerable Sergius our Father.
Troparion — Tone 8
In the purity of your life, you combined the stream of your tears with later ascetical contests of faith, / thereby exuding a spiritual font, O Venerable Sergius, / in which you wash the spiritual and bodily impurity of all those who lovingly revere your memory. / Therefore, we your children cry out to you: “O Father, pray to the Holy Trinity for our souls.”
Kontakion — Tone 8
Wounded by love for Christ, O venerable one, and following Him with unwavering desire, / you despised all carnal pleasures, and as the sun, you shone upon the land of your birth. / Therefore, Christ has enriched you with the gift of working miracles. / Remember us who honor your most illustrious memory, / that we may call to you: “Rejoice, O divinely-wise Sergius."
Venerable Euphrosyne of Alexandria
Troparion — Tone 1
You concealed your womanliness in asceticism, / and at your repose everyone was amazed, O Euphrosynē. / As a young girl you toiled like a man, / and by your intercessions you deliver those who honor you from dangers.
Kontakion — Tone 2
(Podoben: “Seeking the heights...”)
Longing to reach the life on high, zealously forsaking worldly pleasures here below, / you lived among men, O most comely one. / For the sake of Christ your Bridegroom, / you disdained an earthly betrothal.
Venerable Euphrosynē of Suzdal
Troparion — Tone 4
The land of Suzdal rejoiceth in thy holy memory, / while believers assemble in thine all-honorable temple, / where now thine all-glorious memory is celebrated. / O venerable Euphrosynē, / pray to Christ God for the salvation of our souls.

Rejoice, O land of Boyan, the least of all Christian cities: / for the Lord has manifested in you the wonderworking Icon of His Most Pure Mother, / weeping for our sins, and with her tears of grace, she wipes away every tear from our eyes.

The Angels were amazed by the appearance of the Boyan Icon of the Mother of God, / and humanity was strengthened by the grace of the Holy Spirit, / kissing the fountains of tears from the face of Christ, the Divine Infant, and the Most Pure Mother of God, / drawing from them gifts of healing for the salvation of our souls.

Troparion — Tone 5
Assuage the sickness of my much-sighing soul, / you who wipe away every tear from the face1 of the earth: / for you drive away the sicknesses of mankind, / and end the despondency of sinners. / Through you, Most Holy Virgin Mother, / all of us acquire hope and affirmation of faith.
1 Compare Isaiah 25:8: “... again the Lord God has taken away every tear from every face” (LXX) and Revelation 7:17: “God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”
Kontakion — Tone 6
Do not entrust me to human protection, Most Holy Sovereign Lady, / but accept the prayers of your servant, / for I am fettered by sorrow, and I cannot endure the arrows fired by demons; / I have no shelter and there is nowhere to run. / I am wretched and my enemies are on every side, and I have no consolation except you, / O Sovereign Lady of the world, the hope and protection of the faithful. / Do not despise my prayers, / but do that which is beneficial for me.
