Saints CODRAT, ANECT, PAUL, DENYS, CYPRIEN et CRESCENS, martyrs à Corinthe sous Dèce et Valérien (entre 249 et 259). (Office traduit en français par le père Denis Guillaume au tome III des Ménées.)

Troparion — Tone 1

Let the godly-minded Quadratus, Anectus, Paul, Dionysius, Cyprian, and Crescens / Be praised with melodious hymns, / For as the six-fold choir of Christ’s prize-winners, / They ceaselessly pray for us before the Trinity!

Troparion — Tone 4

Your holy martyrs, Quadratus and his companions, O Lord, / Through their sufferings have received incorruptible crowns from You, our God. / For having Your strength, they laid low their adversaries, / And shattered the powerless boldness of demons. / Through their intercessions, save our souls!

Kontakion — Tone 4

As you contested bravely in Corinth, O wise martyrs, / You appeared as a six-branched radiant lamp. / Illumining the way for Christ’s faithful by the grace that was given you!

Saint VICTOR, martyr en Afrique du Nord sous Dèce (entre 249 et 251).
