Uncovering of the relics of the Holy Martyrs at the Gate of Eugenius at Constantinople - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 1
(Podoben: “Your tomb, O Savior...”)
O most glorious Martyrs, you foundations of the Church, / your venerable relics have appeared from the depths of the earth like noetic roses and treasuries of graces. / They breathe forth the grace of healing and grant the fragrance of life / to those who lovingly call you blessed.
Kontakion — Tone 4
(Podoben: “You appeared today...”)
Having shone forth on earth as luminaries of righteousness, / you have dispelled the gloomy mist of all impiety and you enlighten the faithful, / O godly Martyrs, champions of the Trinity.1
Kontakion — Tone 8
(Podoben: “As the first fruits...”)
O courageous pillars of faith, victorious Martyrs, who endured various torments for Christ, / you remained hidden for many years; / and now you appear as a precious treasure in God's Church, / borne reverently in the hands of His Hierarch; / and to those who ask, you give what is useful to them. / Therefore, pray for our souls.2
