St. Efrosinia

The Icon

Feast Day - June 5th

Troparion in tone 4

Thou didst give thy wealth to the poor,
and despise the rank of princess and temporal betrothal.
Thou didst betroth thyself to Christ thy Bridegroom,
and thy wreath was spiritual and bodily purity.
Now thou dost stand before Him:
Remember us who venerate thee,
O Euphrosyne.

Kontakion in tone 8

Thou hast adorned thy virginity with almsgiving, as a lamp with oil;
thou hast entered Christ's bright bridal chamber with the wise virgins.
We bless thee, O Euphrosyne as we honor thy fragrant relics
and we cry out with compunction: thou hast boldness before Christ;
pray that we may be delivered from the stench of our passions, and that our souls may be saved.
