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: Finding thee to be like an all-pure blossom, a lily of the valley amid thorns, O Mother of God, the Bridegroom took flesh within thy womb.
Your blood hath been shown to be the healing of soul-corrupting passions, O all-blessed athletes, for all who with faith have recourse to your divine and most splendid shrine.
Irmos: I pour forth my prayer unto the Lord, and to Him do I declare my grief; for my soul is full of evil and my life hath drawn nigh unto hell, and like Jonah I pray: Lead me up from corruption, O God!
Kontakion, in Tone VIII: Spec. Mel.: “To thee, the champion leader…” —
Theotokion: I know thee to be the helper of my life and my steadfast preserver, O Virgin, who doest away with the tumult of temptations and fendest off the assaults of the demons; and I ever pray thus, that thou mayest deliver me from my passions.
Having suffered lawfully for Christ, O glorious and truly all-blessed ones, ye have been enriched with a crown of incorruption, and have received the kingdom of heaven and a divine reward.
Let us hymn the valiant martyrs, the brother and sister according to the flesh: the wise Eulampius and Eulampia; for with the power of the Crucified they put the wiles of the most iniquitous one to shame. Wherefore, they have been shown to be the glory and boast of martyrs.
Ikos: O ye faithful, in sacred songs and hymns let us praise the two athletes today, for they have cast down the delusion of the idols, reduced the fire of polytheism to ashes and put the demons to shame. They were not afraid of the anger of the tormenters, neither did they fear the fire or the raging of the wild beasts, but struggled well and valiantly. The glorious Eulampius, the honored Eulampia and their fellow athletes have been shown to be the glory and boast of the martyrs.
Thou wast a true son, O Joseph, having acquired unfeigned obedience, the begetter of dispassion; and as one meek, pure and merciful, thou didst humbly say: “I am useless without my father!”
The chaste-minded Joseph faithfully followed in the steps of his father: he humbled himself even unto death, thus emulating Christ the Master. Wherefore, we beseech him: Teach thou humility even to us sinners!
Having acquired the love of thy father, O Anatolius, with him thou didst shepherd the reason-endowed flock; and now, O father, forget us not, but be thou mindful of thy sheep and guide them, seeking thy lost children and leading us all to salvation.
Having withdrawn from this vain world and discovered a treasure through your pure life, ye have not ceased your care for sinners in this world; but, as guides for the lost, deliver us from the vanity of this world, that we may say: Rejoice, O divinely wise elders!
Ikos: Emulating the angels, ye withdrew from the world, desiring to make your abode in the wilderness; yet forget us not who are still in the world, we sinners pray, that, delivered from delusion, we may address you thus: Rejoice, physicians of spiritual sicknesses; rejoice, healers of bodily ailments! Rejoice, ye who transcended the understanding of the wise; rejoice, ye who guided the unwise to understanding! Rejoice, ye who offered up unceasing prayers; rejoice, mediators before God for sinners! Rejoice, O divinely wise elders!
