Translation of the Relics of Ss. Cyrus and John, Troparion, Tone V —
O Christ God, Thou hast given us an impregnable rampart/ in the miracles of
Thy holy martyrs./ Through their supplications destroy Thou the councils of the
heathen/ and strengthen the scepters of kingdoms,// in that Thou alone art good
and lovest mankind.
Kontakion, Tone III, "Today the Virgin..." —
Receiving the gift of miracles from grace divine, O saints,/ ye work wonders
unceasingly,/ cutting down all our passions with invisible skill,/ O divinely
wise Cyrus and glorious John:// for ye are divine physicians.
Design Jason Powell.
