Prayers

Apolytikion: With a humble heart Father Euphrosynos, you offered your service as a cook, and you were truly filled with the Holy Spirit, wherefore the Glory of God became known in you, through a Venerable Priest; make us also partakers of the same, God-bearer, through your intercessions.

Kontakion: You partook of Heavenly gladness, which came to pass Euphrosynos, due to your Angelic life, and you were seen to be equal in honour to the Angels, with them do beseech, on behalf of those who honour you.

Megalynarion: You lived as an Ascetic like an Angel on Earth, in a virtuous manner, you purified your Soul; wherefore without ceasing you partake in gladness, intercede for us Father Euphrosynos.

Verse: Having borne the weight of all things unbearable with courage, Euphrosynos now rejoices in Divine delight.
