Venerable Euthymius the Great
Troparion — Tone 4
Be glad, O desert which hast not given birth; be of good cheer, you who have not travailed; for a man of desires1 has multiplied your spiritual children and planted them in piety, and through abstinence, he brought them unto the perfection of the virtues. Through his supplications, O Christ our God, make our life peaceful.
1 A greatly beloved man. This epithet appears in Daniel 9:23, 10:11, and 10:19.
Kontakion — Tone 8
(Podoben: “As the first-fruits of our nature…”)
Creation rejoiced at your august birth, and at your divine memorial, O Venerable one, and gladly received many of your miracles; now bestow them abundantly upon our souls, and wash away the stains of our sins, / that we may sing: “Alleluia!”
Venerable Euthymius the Schemamonk
Troparion — Tone 8
By a flood of tears you made the desert fertile, / and your longing for God brought forth fruits in abundance. / By the radiance of miracles you illumined the whole universe! / O our holy father Euthymius, pray to Christ our God to save our souls!
Saint Laurence, Recluse of the Kiev Far Caves
Troparion — Tone 8

Venerable Euthymius of Syanzhemsk, Vologda
Troparion — Tone 8

Martyrs Innas, Pinnas, and Rimmas, disciples of the Apostle Andrew, in Scythia
Troparion — Tone 2
As disciples of the First-Called, you were the first-called of the Slavs, / and because you enlightened your brethren with the light of Truth, / you received a cruel death at the hands of a savage and godless prince, / bound by frost and ice on the Danube River in the land of Scythia. / But since you lay down your lives for your friends,1 / O Saints Innas, Pinnas, and Rimmas, / you offer your most powerful prayers for us, / and once again all the Slavic peoples are converting to Christ.
Kontakion — Tone 2
A great exploit2 of faith; / bound by the ice, as if by the water of rest,3 / Saints Innas, Pinnas, and Rimmas rejoiced, / but the torturer, in his foolish frenzy, tried to destroy the fruits of their vineyard; / nevertheless to this day, Christ accepts holy clusters from the Slavic peoples, / and crowns the Slavic Protomartyrs with crowns. / Therefore, as the children of the faithful you nurtured, / we thank and implore you, O Saints: / "By your prayers, fervently entreat Him, / so that we also, in the Spirit of truth, may be zealous for God."
1 John 15:13.
2 Podvig, ascetical contest.
3 Psalm 22/23:2 (Septuagint).
Martyrs Bassus, Eusebius, Euthychius, and Basileides, at Nicomedia
Troparion — Tone 4
Your holy martyrs, O Lord, / through their sufferings have received incorruptible crowns from You, our God. / For having Your strength, they laid low their adversaries, / and shattered the powerless boldness of demons. / Through their intercessions, save our souls!
Saint Euthymios, Patriarch of Trnovo
Troparion — Tone 4
The truth of things revealed you to your flock as a rule of faith, / a model of meekness, and a teacher of temperance. / Therefore, through humility, you attained the heights; / and through poverty, riches. / O Hierarch Euthymios, our Father, entreat Christ God that our souls may be saved.
Kontakion — Tone 8
(Podoben: “You sought the heights...”)
O Hierarch Euthymios, / divine thunder, spiritual trumpet, planter of faith, and pruner of heresies, / great favorite of the Trinity, as you stand before God with the Angels, / pray unceasingly for all of us.
New Martyr Zachariah
Troparion — Tone 3
Your holy martyr Zachariah, O Lord, / through his suffering has received an incorruptible crown from You, our God. / For having Your strength, he laid low his adversaries, / and shattered the powerless boldness of demons. / Through his intercessions, save our souls!
Kontakion — Tone 2
(Podoben: “You sought the heights...”)
You appeared as a bright star announcing Christ with your radiance, / which is repulsive to this world, O Martyr Zachariah; / extinguishing the allure of false gods, / you enlighten the faithful, / always interceding for us all.
Saint Euthymius the Confessor
Troparion — Tone 8
Champion of Orthodoxy, teacher of purity and of true worship, / the enlightener of the universe and the adornment of hierarchs: / all-wise father Euthymius, your teachings have gleamed with light upon all things. / Intercede before Christ God to save our souls.
