Saint Steven passed his life in ascetical discipline in the Monastery of
Saint Sabbas, from whence also he received the name Sabbaite. He was
consecrated bishop and reposed about the year 790, bequeathing to the
Church a number of melismatic troparia.
APOLYTIKION OF STEVEN THE SABBAITE
PLAGAL OF THE FOURTH TONE
You are a guide of Orthodoxy, a teacher of piety and modesty, a luminary
of the world, the God inspired pride of monastics. O wise Steven, you
have enlightened everyone by your teachings. You are the harp of the
Spirit. Intercede to Christ our God for the salvation of our souls.
KONTAKION OF STEVEN THE SABBAITE
FOURTH TONE
Planting a paradise of flourishing virtues, which with the streams of
thy divine tears was watered, O all-famed Steven, thou didst gain the
Tree of Life. Wherefore, by thy fervent prayers, save thy flock from
corruption; them that warmly honour thee do thou save from temptation,
for we have all obtained thee, O wise Saint, through faith and love as
our most mighty advocate.
