April 9
Reading:
This holy Martyr was from the parts of Cappadocia, and
lived a blameless life with his wife. During the reign of Julian the
Apostate, this blessed one was filled with divine zeal and, with other
Christians, destroyed the pagan temple dedicated to Fortune. Because of
this he received the crown of martyrdom by beheading in the year 362.
Apolytikion of Martyr Eupsychius in the Fourth Tone
Thy Martyr, O Lord, in his courageous contest for Thee received
the prize of the crowns of incorruption and life from Thee, our immortal
God. For since he possessed Thy strength, he cast down the tyrants and
wholly destroyed the demons' strengthless presumption. O Christ God,
by his prayers, save our souls, since Thou art merciful.
