Commemoration of the Holy Fathers of the Seventh Ecumenical Council
Troparion — Tone 8
Most glorious art Thou, O Christ our God, / Who hast established the Holy Fathers as luminaries on the earth. / By them Thou hast guided us on the path of the True Faith. / O Most Merciful One, glory to Thee!
Kontakion — Tone 6
The Son, Who shone forth ineffably from the Father, / was born of a woman, in two natures. / Beholding Him, we do not deny the image of His form, / but depicting it piously, we revere it with faith. / Therefore, the Church, holding the True Faith, / venerates the Icon of Christ's Incarnation.
Venerable Euthymius the New of Thessalonica, and Monk of Mount Athos
Troparion — Tone 8
The image of God was truly preserved in you, O Father, / for you took up the Cross and followed Christ. / By so doing you taught us to disregard the flesh for it passes away / but to care instead for the soul, since it is immortal. / Therefore your spirit, venerable Euthymius, rejoices with the angels.
Kontakion — Tone 2
Crossing dryshod through the storms of life, / venerable and divinely wise Euthymius, / you mightily drowned the bodiless foe in the streams of your tears; / you received the gift of miracles to heal all sufferings. / Unceasingly pray for us all.
Martyr Lucian the Presbyter of Antioch
Troparion — Tone 3
Radiant with the Spirit, / you taught true knowledge of the true faith; / a trainer of martyrs, O Lucian, / you were glorified in contest. / Intercede with Christ our God that he may grant us great mercy!
Troparion — Tone 4
Your holy martyr Lucian, 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
We honor you with hymns of glory, / Lucian, the radiant star. / You first became radiant by your detachment from the things of this world; / then you were raised up by your struggle. / Unceasingly pray for us all.
Saint John, Bishop of Suzdal
Troparion — Tone 4
In truth you were revealed to your flock as a rule of faith, / an image of humility and a teacher of abstinence; / your humility exalted you; / your poverty enriched you. / Hierarch Father John, / entreat Christ our God / that our souls may be saved.
Hieromartyr Lucian the Presbyter of the Kiev Caves
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 Lucian, pray to Christ our God to save our souls!
Martyrs Sarbelius and Bebaia of Edessa
Troparion — Tone 4
Your holy martyrs Sarbelius and Bebaia, 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 Sabinus, Bishop of Catania
Troparion — Tone 4
In truth you were revealed to your flock as a rule of faith, / an image of humility and a teacher of abstinence; / your humility exalted you; / your poverty enriched you. / Hierarch Father Sabinus, / entreat Christ our God / that our souls may be saved.
“Multiplier of Wheat” Icon of the Mother of God
Troparion — Tone 3
O Most Pure Virgin Mary, Mother of the King of heaven and earth, / you look lovingly upon those who love your Son, Christ our God, / and upon those who labor in His name for eternal salvation, / and you give them all that is abundant for their enjoyment. / You were shown to be a Multiplier of bread for them, / delivering them from all want and constraint, / and providing for these, your servants, / deliverance from eternal torment and eternal life.
