SUMMARY:Saturday\, July 18\, 2026\; The Holy Martyr Hyacinth of Amastris\; 
 The Holy Martyr Emilian\; Blessed Venerable Woman-Martyr Tarsykiya Matskiv
DESCRIPTION:AT VESPERS ON FRIDAY EVENING\n\nKathisma Reading\n\nThe appoint
 ed psalms are chanted.\n\nAt Psalm 140\n\nTone 1\n\nIf You mark iniquities
 \, Lord\, who can stand?* But with You forgiveness is that You may be reve
 red.\n\nO most blessed one\, comprehending with an upright and honourable 
 heart the uncircumscribable God\,* and undeniably believing in Him\;* you 
 have faithfully followed His ineffable and saving commandments\, O most wi
 se one\,* and patiently enduring sufferings\,* attained to the eternal Kin
 gdom.\n\nI have waited for You as You have commanded\; my soul patiently r
 elies on Your promise\,* for it has trusted in the Lord.\n\nWith your hono
 ured blood consecrating the earth* and abolishing the defiled blood-sacrif
 ice offered lawlessly to demons\, O all-honoured one\,* you received an in
 corruptible crown upon your brow.* Wherefore intercede for us that our sou
 ls* be granted peace and great mercy.\n\nFrom the morning watch until nigh
 t* let Israel trust in the Lord.\n\nO all-honoured Martyr Hyacinth\,* glor
 ifying your sacred struggles and exploits we are also consecrated\,* for b
 y them you have become an associate of angels* and a companion of all the 
 martyrs\;* wherefore we beseech you to pray\, together with them\,* that o
 ur souls be granted peace and great mercy.\n\nTone 4\, Podoben “As one v
 aliant among the martyrs…”\n\nFor with the Lord there is mercy\, and w
 ith Him there is plentiful redemption\;* and He shall redeem Israel from a
 ll its iniquities.\n\nThe religion of the Greeks you ground fine as dust\,
 * and through the grace of Christ our God\, O martyr Emilian\,* you erecte
 d an animate tower of divine knowledge\,* a temple of sanctity\, and an im
 movable foundation of piety* for those who with godly wisdom honour your v
 aliant feats\,* O you who are most rich.\n\nPraise the Lord\, all the nati
 ons\;* proclaim His glory\, all you people.\n\nThough devoured by the fire
 \, afflicted with wounds\, imprisoned in dungeons\,* and subjected to mani
 fold tribulations\, O glorious one\,* you did not sacrifice to the idols\,
  nor did you deny Christ\, but remained invincible.* Wherefore\, the Maste
 r\, as the good Judge of the contest\, the immutable King\,* has bestowed 
 upon you the crown of victory.\n\nStrong is the love of the Lord for us\;*
  eternally will His truth endure.\n\nWith your blood you dyed your robe\, 
 and\, arrayed therewith\,* you have entered the kingdom on high\, rejoicin
 g\, O glorious one\;* and you stand forever before God\, the King of all\,
 * asking for peace\, health\, and speedy deliverance from evils* for those
  who honour you with faith.\n\nTone 6\, Glory… Now…\n\nWho would not c
 all you blessed\, O Virgin most holy?* Who would not sing a hymn of praise
 * to the glory of your giving birth without pain or travail?* The Only-beg
 otten Son Himself\,* begotten of the Father before all ages\,* was made fl
 esh out of you in a manner* that cannot be explained\, O Woman most pure!*
  And for our sake\, He who is God by nature* assumed the nature of a man.*
  He is not divided into two persons\;* He is understood to have two nature
 s* without commixion or confusion.* O noble and blessed Woman\,* intercede
  with Him that He may have mercy on our souls.\n\nProkeimenon\, Tone 7\n\n
 O God\, You are my defender* and Your mercy goes before me.\n\nverse: Deli
 ver me from my enemies\, O God\; save me from those who rise up against me
 .\n\nAposticha\n\nTone 6\n\nThose who suffered martyrdom for You\, O Chris
 t\,* endured a multitude of torments\,* and they ever intercede on behalf 
 of our souls.\n\nBlessed are they whom You have chosen* and taken to Yours
 elf\, О Lord.\n\nYou Cross\, O Lord\, was an invincible weapon of the mar
 tyrs.* They saw death before them:* but\, gazing upon the life that is to 
 come\,* they became strengthened with hope in You.* By their intercessions
  have mercy upon us.\n\nTheir souls* shall dwell amid good things.\n\nYour
  command was to me my beginning and foundation.* For You willed to fashion
  me as a living creature* from natures visible and invisible:* You have ma
 de my body from the earth\,* and given me a soul by Your divine and quicke
 ning breath.* Therefore\, O Saviour\, grant rest to Your servants in the l
 and of the living\,* in the tabernacles of the righteous.\n\nTone 4\, Glor
 y… \n\nO come all you lovers of the Martyrs\,* let us reverently glorify
  the famous Martyr of Christ\, Hyacinth\,* who bravely finished his course
  here upon the earth\,* bruising the head of the serpent\, and with his bl
 ood consecrating the earth\,* he has passed from here to the never-ending 
 habitations of the righteous\;* receiving there great honours for his expl
 oits from the hand of the Almighty\,* to whom he prays that our souls be c
 leansed* from all iniquity and granted great mercy.\n\nNow…\n\nO Theotok
 os\, you are the true vine that has budded forth for us the Fruit of life.
 * It is you we entreat: Pray\, O Sovereign Lady\, with the holy apostles\,
 * that He have mercy upon our souls.\n\nTroparion\, Tone 4\n\nYour martyr\
 , Hyacinth\, O Lord\,* by his passion acquired the crown of incorruptibili
 ty from You\, our God.* For possessing Your power he overcame the torturer
 s* and shattered the feeble insolence of demons.* By his supplications\, s
 ave our souls.\n\nGlory… Now…\n\nO Mother of God\, the mystery hidden 
 from all eternity* and unknown even to the angels\,* was revealed through 
 you to those on earth:* God took on our human nature* and united it to His
  divine nature in a perfect but unconfused union.* Then\, He willingly acc
 epted the cross for our sake* and thereby raised again the first created\,
 * and saved our souls from death.\n\nAT DIVINE LITURGY ON SATURDAY MORNING
