 pia
DESCRIPTION:VESPERS ON FRIDAY EVENING\n\nKathisma Reading\n\nThe appointed 
 psalms are chanted.\n\nAt Psalm 140\n\nTone 4\, Podoben “As one valiant 
 among the martyrs...”\n\nIf You mark iniquities\, Lord\, who can stand?*
  But with You forgiveness is that You may be revered.\n\nIllumined by the 
 Holy Spirit\, O all-praised martyrs\,* you arrayed yourselves against the 
 wiles of the prince of this world\;* and\, vanquishing him manfully\, you 
 prevailed over him with divine skill.* Therefore\, celebrating your splend
 id memorial today\,* we honour your sufferings with praises as is meet\,* 
 O you of great renown.\n\nI have waited for You as You have commanded\; my
  soul patiently relies on Your promise\,* for it has trusted in the Lord.\
 n\nMingling the fire and torments\, O holy ones\, by wisdom you remained u
 nwavering\;* and burning like lamps with the fervour of the Spirit\,* you 
 have illumined the hearts of the faithful with grace.* Therefore\, every a
 ge and generation celebrates your holy memory hymning the Lord.\n\nFrom th
 e morning watch until night* let Israel trust in the Lord.\n\nShining fort
 h like stars of great brilliance\,* the divinely wise Eulampius and the mo
 st honoured Eulampia\, the godly pair\,* illumine creation with the radian
 ce of their struggles and the splendours of their miracles.* And celebrati
 ng today their most sacred memory\,* with gladness we bow down before the 
 shrine of their relics.\n\nTone 2\, Podoben\, “When from the Tree...”\
 n\nFor with the Lord there is mercy\, and with Him there is plentiful rede
 mption\;* and He shall redeem Israel from all its iniquities.\n\nGiving yo
 ur flesh over to wounds* and enduring most bitter torments and violent dea
 th\, О all-praised martyrs\,* you put the tyrants to shame and truly abol
 ished the worship of idols\,* preaching Christ\, the one God and Master\,*
  before Whom ye stand crowned\, О glorious ones\,* together with the ange
 lic hosts.\n\nPraise the Lord\, all the nations\;* proclaim His glory\, al
 l you people.\n\nGiving your flesh over to wounds* and enduring most bitte
 r torments and violent death\, О all-praised martyrs\,* you put the tyran
 ts to shame and truly abolished the worship of idols\,* preaching Christ\,
  the one God and Master\,* before Whom ye stand crowned\, О glorious ones
 \,* together with the angelic hosts.\n\nStrong is the love of the Lord for
  us\;* eternally will His truth endure.\n\nYou revealed yourselves to be d
 ivine preachers of the Word who appeared on earth\,* and taught piety to a
 ll\, setting forth the orthodox faith in divine words\,* whereby you drove
  heresy far from the Church of Christ.* Therefore\, you ever dwell in the 
 habitations of God\, О blessed ones\,* as sacred ministers of the Trinity
 \,* leading into it all mankind.\n\nTone 4\, Glory… \n\nUniting your ide
 ntical names to your fraternal love\,* and joining purity to dispassion\, 
 you preserved your moral force unimpaired\;* for where God is desired\, th
 e whole world is as spurned.* What a wonder! The serpent is slain!* He who
  dwells beneath the earth\, who railed unrighteously against heaven\,* has
  been brought down through the suffering of the brother and sister\, the w
 ise Eulampius and Eulampia.* Unto them let us cry out with spiritual hymns
 :* O you who finished well the race for Christ\,* ask peace for the world 
 and great mercy for our souls.\n\nTone 2\, Now…\n\nO Virgin\, the shadow
  of the Law passed away* with the realization of grace.* For as the bush h
 ad burned without being consumed\,* so you gave birth while a virgin* and 
 you remained a virgin.* Instead of the pillar of fire there rose the Sun o
 f Justice.* Instead of Moses\, Christ God came forth\,* the Saviour of our
  souls.\n\nProkeimenon\, Tone 7\n\nO God\, You are my defender* and Your m
 ercy goes before me.\n\nverse: Deliver me from my enemies\, O God\; save m
 e from those who rise up against me.\n\nAposticha\n\nTone 2\n\nO you saint
 s great is the glory\,* that you have gained through your faith.* For not 
 only by your sufferings were you victorious over the enemy\;* but even aft
 er death\, as physicians of body and soul\,* you drive out evil spirits an
 d bring healing to the infirm.* Intercede before the Lord\,* that mercy be
  granted to our souls.\n\nBlessed are they whom You have chosen* and taken
  to Yourself\, О Lord\n\nAs a flower withers and a dream passes away\,* s
 o does the flesh of each man dissipate upon death.* But at the sound of th
 e trumpet* all the dead as if in an earthquake shall rise up again to meet
  You\, O Christ our God.* Grant then\, O Master\, to all Your servants* wh
 om You have taken from us\,* to eternally dwell in the tabernacles of Your
  saints.\n\nTheir souls shall dwell* amid good things.\n\nWoe is me! How g
 reat a struggle does the soul endure at its parting from the body.* Woe is
  me! How many tears does it shed\,* but there is no one to take pity.* Tur
 ning its eyes to the angels\, it supplicates in vain\;* stretching out its
  hands to men\, it finds none to help.* Therefore\, my beloved brethren\,*
  reflecting upon the shortness of our life\,* let us ask Christ to grant r
 est to the departed* and to our souls great mercy.\n\nTone 4\, Glory… \n
 \nIllumined with the light of the Trinity\,* the brother and sister set at
  nought the savagery of the tormenters.* Therefore\, trampling down the fl
 ame\, they joined chorus\, chanting:* “Behold now\, what is so good or s
 o joyous as for brethren to dwell together in unity?”* And looking to di
 vine glory\, they were counted worthy of the glory of heaven\,* ever entre
 ating Christ God in our behalf\,* that our souls may be saved.\n\nNow…\n
 \nO inextinguishable lamp\, and throne of righteousness* most pure Soverei
 gn Lady:* pray that our souls be saved.\n\nTroparia\n\nTone 4\n\nYour holy
  martyrs Eulampius and Eulampia\, O Lord\,* through their sufferings have 
 received their incorruptible crowns from You\, our God.* For having your s
 trength\, they laid low their adversaries\,* and shattered the powerless b
 oldness of demons.* Through their intercessions\, save 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 per
 fect but unconfused union.* Then\, He willingly accepted the cross for our
  sake* and thereby raised again the first created\,* and saved our souls f
 rom death.\n\nAT DIVINE LITURGY ON SATURDAY MORNING\n\nTroparia and Kontak
