As you were a saint with the disembodied, O Hieromartyr Stephen, you took the cross as a weapon, and having stood firm against the iconoclast and the Doukhobors who did not worship the Most Pure Image of Christ our God, you cut off all the heresies of the evil ones: for the sake of receiving the crown of torment, you delivered You are your city, Surozh, from all hostility. And now we pray to you, holy one, to deliver us from all evil temptations and troubles and eternal torment.
