TRANSLATION OF THE RELICS OF THE PROTOMARTYR AND ARCHDEACON ST STEPHEN FROM JERUSALEM TO CONSTANTINOPLE
Blessed BASIL of Moscow ― Fool for Christ
Martyr THEODORE of the Dardanelles
Venerabless PHOTINI the Cypriot
Troparion of Protomartyr STEPHAN— Tone 4
Thou art crowned with a royal diadem/ for contests endured in Christ's name, O first and holy Martyr;/ thou didst put to shame thy persecutors/ and see the Savior at the right hand of the Father./ Ever pray to Him for our souls.
Troparion of Protomartyr STEPHAN— Tone 4
Thy relics have risen from the bowels of the earth/ like a treasury of the immortal life of all creation./ The Church, rejoicing in the grace that she receives from them,/ duteously honours thee, O Protomartyr Stephen./ Preserve us from error and heresy by thine intercession.
Troparion of Protomartyr STEPHAN— Tone 4
Your relics have risen from the depths of the earth, / like a treasury for the immortal life of all of creation. / The Church, rejoicing in the grace that she receives from them, / duteously honors you, Protomartyr Stephen. / Preserve us from error and heresy by your intercession!
Troparion of Protomartyr STEPHAN— Tone 4
For the sufferings which thou didst endure for Christ God,/ thy head, hath been crowned with a royal diadem, O Stephen,/ first among them that have suffered;/ for, having denounced the insanity of the Jews,/ thou didst behold thy Savior/ at the right hand of the Father.// Him do thou therefore entreat in behalf of our souls.
Ἀπολυτίκιον. Ἅγιος ΣΤΈΦΑΝΟΣ — Ἦχος δ´ Ταχύ προκατάλαβε
Βασίλειον διάδημα, ἐστέφθη σὴ κορυφή, ἐξ ἄθλων ὧν ὑπέμεινας, ὑπὲρ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ, μαρτύρων Πρωτόαθλε, σὺ γὰρ τὴν Ἰουδαίων ἀπελέγξας μανίαν, εἶδές σου τὸν Σωτῆρα, τοῦ Πατρὸς δεξιόθεν. Αὐτόν οὖν ἐκδυσώπει ἀεί, ὑπὲρ τῶν ψυχῶν ἡμῶν.
Ἀπολυτίκιον τῆς Ἀνακομιδῆς — Ἦχος δ’. Ταχὺ προκατάλαβε
Ὡς πλοῦτος ἀκένωτος, τῆς ἀθανάτου ζωῆς, τὸ θεῖόν σου Λείψανον, ἐκ τῶν λαγόνων τῆς γῆς, τῇ κτίσει ἀνέτειλεν· ὅθεν ἡ Ἐκκλησία, θείαν χάριν τρυγῶσα, Στέφανε Πρωτομάρτυς, κατὰ χρέος τιμᾷ σε· ἣν φύλαττε πρεσβείαις σου, ἐκ πάσης αἱρέσεως.
Troparion of St BASIL — Tone 8
Your life, O Basil, was true and your chastity undefiled. / In fasting, vigilance and exposure to heat and frost / You subdued your flesh for the sake of Christ. / Therefore your countenance shone with the brilliance of the sun. / Today the faithful glorify your holy falling-asleep. / Implore Christ to deliver us from all bondage, dissension and war, / And to grant great mercy to our souls!
Apolytikion of St PHOTINI — Tone 1
Boast of Karya and ornament of Cyprus, and the strength of the sick, recovering those with defective sight, who with faith run to your divine temple, glorious one, always granting healings to your servants, that we may cry out with thanks, Photini Venerable Bride of Christ and comely virgin: Glory to Him Who glorified you, glory to Him Who crowned you, glory to Him Who works through you all manner of healings.
Ἀπολυτίκιο. Ὁσία ΦΩΤΕΙΝὴ — Ἦχος α’
Καρηασέων τὸ κλέος καὶ Κυπρίων ἀγλάϊσμα, καὶ τῶν ἀσθενούντων ἡ ῥῶσις, τῶν πεπηρωμένων ἀνάβλεψις, τῶν πρὸς σὲ πιστῶς προστρεχόντων ἐν τῷ θείῳ ναῷ σου, πανένδοξε, τὰς ἰάσεις παράσχου τοῖς δούλοις σου πάντοτε, ἵνα εὐχαρίστως κράζωμεν· Φωτεινὴ Ὁσία νύμφη Χριστοῦ καλλιπάρθενε. Δόξα τῷ σὲ δοξάσαντι, δόξα τῷ σὲ στεφανώσαντι, δόξα τῷ ἐνεργοῦντι διὰ σοῦ πᾶσιν ἰάματα.

Kontakion of Protomartyr STEPHAN — Tone 6
You were the first to be sown on the earth by the Heavenly Husbandman, O all-praised one. / You were the first to shed your blood on the earth for Christ, O blessed one. / You were the first to receive the crown of victory from Him in heaven, / Stephen, first of the suffering God-crowned martyrs.
Kontakion of Protomartyr STEPHAN — Tone 6
Thou wast the first to be sown on earth by the heavenly Husbandman;/ thou wast the first to shed thy blood for Christ, O blessed and famous Stephen./ Thou wast the first to be adorned by Him in heaven with the crown of victory,/ O spearhead of athletes, the martyrs' first-crowned champion.
Κοντάκιον. Ἅγιος ΣΤΈΦΑΝΟΣ — Ἦχος πλ. δ΄. Αὐτόμελον
Πρῶτος ἐσπάρης ἐπὶ γῆς ὑπὸ τοῦ οὐρανίου Γεωργοῦ πανεύφημε, πρῶτος τὸ αἷμα ἐπὶ γῆς διὰ Χριστὸν ἐξέχεας μακάριε, πρῶτος ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ τὸν τῆς νίκης στέφανον ἀνεδήσω ἐν οὐρανοῖς, ὡς Ἀθλητῶν προοίμιον, στεφανῖτα τῶν Mαρτύρων ὁ Πρώταθλος.

Μεγαλυνάριον. Ἅγιος ΣΤΈΦΑΝΟΣ
Ὅλον διάλαμπον ὑπερφυῶς, αἴγλῃ ἀφθαρσίας, ὡς πολύολβος θησαυρός, ἀπὸ γῆς ἐφάνη, Χριστοῦ τῇ Ἐκκλησίᾳ, Στέφανε Πρωτομάρτυς, τὸ θεῖον σκῆνός σου.
