Martyr and Archdeacon Euplus of Catania - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 4
As a holy deacon and righteous minister of the Church of Christ, / you contended superbly. / You sailed over the sea of many torments and afflictions, / O all-blessed Euplus. / Guide us into the haven of heaven.
Kontakion — Tone 1
When the love of Christ was your only defense, / you stood in the midst of your fight and said: / I endure this struggle willingly and with confidence! / You rejoiced, O Euplus, to offer your head to the sword and so complete your course!
