Irmos: I will sacrifice to Thee with a voice of praise, O Lord, the Church crieth unto Thee, cleansed of the blood of demons by the blood which, for mercy’s sake, flowed from Thy side.
Kontakion, in Tone III: Spec. Mel.: “Today the Virgin…”—
Theotokion: Resplendent in the beauty of virginity, O Mistress, thou wast the dwelling-place of the King of ages Whom thou didst bear, and Who preserveth Thee incorrupt even after thy birthgiving.
Pitilessly beaten down with staves, the martyr Eustathius nonetheless uttered no sigh nor shed any tear; for he was harder than mighty adamant.
Strengthened by the power of God, O blessed martyr Eustathius, thou wast able to endure unbearable torments; wherefore, thou hast been counted worthy of divine gladness.
Hordes of evil demons were vanquished by the great quantity of the martyrs’ blood, O Bestower of life, and Thy Church hath been fortified thereby, hymning the glory of Thy power.
Having forsaken the deception of your fathers, O holy ones, ye cleaved unto Christ, and with ardor of soul stood firmly unto death with manly mind. Wherefore, ye have truly grasped the trophy of victory, unceasingly entreating our Master for us all.
Ikos: Beholding the struggle of the martyrs, we who love the feasts of the Church are astonished, as is meet, by their courage; and the choirs of the angels, rejoicing at their battle against the invisible foe, have called them blessed. The hordes of the demons, vanquished, avert their faces, and the Master of all gloriously adorneth the martyrs’ heads with crowns. Wherefore, we cry out to them: O blessed martyrs of Christ, pray ye for us all!
