Holy Hieromartyr Cyprian & Holy Martyr Justina, Troparion, Tone IV —
As thou didst share in the ways of the apostles/ and didst occupy their
throne,/ thou didst find thine activity to be a passage to divine vision,/ O
divinely inspired one./ Wherefore, ordering the word of truth,/ thou didst
suffer for the Faith even to the shedding of thy blood.// O hieromartyr Cyprian,
entreat Christ God, that our souls be saved.
Kontakion, Tone I "The choir of the angels" —
Turning from the sorcerous arts to the knowledge of God,/ O divinely wise
one,/ thou wast shown to be a most wise physician for the world,/ granting
healings to those who honor thee, O Cyprian, with Justina./ Pray thou with her
to the Master Who loveth mankind,// that He save our souls.
Blessed Andrew, fool-for-Christ, Troparion, Tone I —
Hearkening to the voice of Thine Apostle Paul saying: "We are fools for
Christ's sake", Thy servant Andrew became a fool on earth for Thy sake, O Christ
God. Wherefore, honoring his memory now, we entreat Thee, O Lord: Save Thou our
souls!
Kontakion, in Tone IV —
Feigning foolishness of thine own will, thou didst hate the beauties of this
world and didst cause the carnal thoughts to wither away through fasting and
thirst, the heat of day and freezing cold, rain and snow; and unbowed by any of
the vagaries of the weather, thou didst purify thyself like gold in a crucible,
O blessed Andrew.
