 om* you drew nigh to God\, O most perfect and all-glorious Cyprian\,* flow
 er of nature and adornment of eloquence\,* summit of wisdom* measure of th
 e correctness of the dogmas\,* most harmonious rightness of the canons* an
 d magnificence of the Churches.\n\nO most honourable Cyprian\, glory of at
 hletes and crown of martyrs\,* by your discourses you persuaded the divine

 ost sacred sacrifice\, O unvanquished martyr.* Therefore\, you have receiv
 ed crowns of victory\, O Justina\,* adorned splendour of virgins and marty

 olatrous teaching\,* and armed yourself for salvation with the sword of th
 e Cross\, O most blessed Cyprian\;* and\, discarding your books of sorcery
 \, put off the old man\;* and the divine knowledge of the consubstantial T
 rinity dwelled within you\,* Whom you beseech with the angels\, a hierarch
 \, that we be saved.\n\nNow… Tone 2\, [Podoben “When from the Tree…
 ”]\n\nBeholding You nailed to the tree of the Cross\, O Jesus\,* she who
  knew not wedlock said\, weeping:* O my Child most sweet\, why have You le
 ft me alone who gave You birth?* O unapproachable Light of the all-unorigi
 nate Father\,* make haste and be glorified\, that those who glorify Your d
 ivine sufferings* may receive divine glory!\n\nAposticha\n\nTone 1\n\nThe 
 Cross was set up on Golgotha\,* and blossomed forth immortality for us fro
 m the ever-flowing fountain* of the Saviour’s side.\n\nI have lifted up 
 my eyes to You enthroned in heaven. Behold\, as the eyes of servants are o
 n the hands of their masters\, as the eyes of a maid are on the hands of h
 er mistress\, so are our eyes on the Lord our God until He has mercy on us
 .\n\nThe precious Cross of the Saviour is for us an indestructible rampart
 \;* for\, placing our trust in it\, we all are saved.\n\nHave mercy on us\
 , O Lord\, have mercy on us\; for we have been filled with shame\; our sou
 l is all too full of the mockery of the rich\, of the contempt of the prou
 d.\n\nBy the supplications of all the saints and the Theotokos\, О Lord\,
 * grant us peace\, and have mercy upon us\,* in that You alone are compass
 ionate.\n\nTone 2\, Glory...\n\nLet us praise Cyprian\, the divinely brill
 iant lamp\,* the converser with Paul and sharer of his labours\;* for he d
 wells with the angels\, having received a crown of incorruption from the o
 ne God\,* and he prays that our souls be saved.\n\nNow…\n\nWhen the unbl
 emished ewe-lamb beheld her Lamb* led of His own will as a man to the slau
 ghter\,* she said\, weeping: Do You now make haste to leave me childless w
 ho gave You birth\, O Christ?* What is this that You have done\, O Deliver
 er of all?* Yet I hymn and glorify Your utter goodness\, which passes unde
 rstanding and recounting\,* O You who loves mankind!\n\nTroparia\n\nTone 4
 \n\nHaving shared the way of life of the apostles\,* and having become a s
 uccessor to their thrones\,* labouring you found the divinely inspired way
  to contemplation.* Therefore\, forthrightly ministering the word of truth
 \,* you shed your blood for the faith\, O hieromartyr\, Cyprian.* Interced
 e with Christ our God for the salvation of our souls.\n\nGlory… Now…\n
 \nO Virgin\, all immaculate Mother of Christ God\,* a sword pierced your a
 ll-holy soul* when you saw your Son and God willingly crucified.* Therefor
 e\, O blessed One\,* never cease to pray to Him* that He may grant us forg
 iveness of our sins.\n\nAT DIVINE LITURGY ON FRIDAY MORNING\n\nTroparia an

 , now and for ever and ever. Amen.\n\nKontakion\, Tone 4: Having piously l
 ived among the hierarchs\,* and having trod the path of suffering\,* you e
