TROPARION

Fathers Slain in the Monastery of St. Sabbas —
No Troparion given in the Menaion.

Kontakion, Tone IV "Having been lifted up" —
Having manifestly disdained the pleasure of earthly and corruptible things,/ and chosen a life in the desert,/ despising the most beautiful things of this world/ and food which passeth away, O all-blessed ones,/ ye hence were accounted worthy of the kingdom of heaven/ and make merry with the choirs of martyrs and fasters.// Wherefore, honoring your memory, we earnestly cry out to you: Deliver us from tribulations, O fathers!
