Martyr Varus, and seven Monastic Martyrs with him - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 4

Seeing the host of holy passion-bearers suffering under the law, / you courageously revealed your strength, / and voluntarily hastened to suffer, desiring to die for Christ; / accepting the reward of your victorious martyrdom, O Varus, / pray for the salvation of our souls.

Kontakion — Tone 4

Following Christ, O Martyr Varus, you drank of His cup;1 / you received the crown of martyrdom and you rejoice with the Angels. / Pray unceasingly for our souls.


1 Matthew 20:22 - 23.
