40 Holy Martyrs of Sebaste - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 1
(Podoben: “O citizen of the desert...”)
Let us honor those noble soldiers of the Master of all, / for they were united by their faith as they passed through fire and water; / and being enlisted by Christ, they entered into divine refreshment. / Now those pious warriors stand and intercede with Christ God for those who cry out: / “Glory to Him Who strengthened you. / Glory to Him Who crowned you. / Glory to Him Who made you wondrous, O Forty Martyrs.”
Troparion — Tone 1
For the sake of the sufferings of Your Saints, / which they endured for You, O Lord, / we entreat You to heal all our infirmities, / O Lover of mankind.
Kontakion — Tone 6
(Podoben: “When You fulfilled the dispensation for our sake...” - Ascension)
Leaving all earthly armies, / you cleaved to the Master in Heaven, O Forty prize-winners of the Lord; / for passing through fire and water, O blessed Martyrs, / as is meet, you received glory from Heaven, and a multitude of crowns.
