Troparion - Tone 4
Protomartyr and mighty warrior of Christ our God,
you were victorious in battle and crowned with glory, holy Stephen.
You confounded the council of those who persecuted you,
beholding your Savior enthroned at the Father's right hand.
Never cease praying that our souls may be saved!
Kontakion - Tone 3
Podoben: "Today the Virgin..."
Yesterday the Master appeared in the flesh among us,
today His servant departs from the flesh.
Yesterday the King was born,
and today His servant is stoned to death;
for His sake, the divine Protomartyr Stephen is perfected through martyrdom.
