Monastic Martyr Euphrosynus of Blue Jay Lake, Novgorod - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 4
From your youth you directed your mind toward God, O blessed Euphrosynos, / by renouncing the world; you settled in an impenetrable wilderness, / where you dwelt valiantly in abstinence, prayer and fasting, as is meet, being strengthened by God; / and you ended your life by suffering murder innocently at the hands of the enemies' sons. / Therefore, you have been crowned together with holy monks and martyrs, / with whom you stand before the Throne of the Most Holy Trinity. / We entreat you to pray that we may receive forgiveness of our transgressions, / and that we may be granted great mercy.
Kontakion — Tone 2
As a venerable and proven ascetic, as an honorable and renowned martyr, / and as a model of the desert life, O most exalted Euphrosynus, / we sing hymns of praise to you, / for you have trampled upon serpents.
