St. Euphrosynus the Cook, of Alexandria

The Icon

St Ephrosynos is shown in the humble uniform he wore as the monastery cook. Under it you can see his monastic habit. In his hand he is holding the miraculous apples which he gave to the priest when he contemplated the glories of heaven. His other hand shows that he was not ordained to any priestly orders.

Feast Day - September 11th

Troparion in tone 4

You lived in great humility,
In labors of asceticism and in purity of soul,
O righteous Euphrosynos,
By a mystical vision you demonstrated the Heavenly joy which you had found.
Therefore make us worthy to be partakers of your intercessions.
