Troparion (Tone 4)

Rejoice, O barren wilderness!

And be glad, sterile desert, that has never known the travail of birth!

The man of desires has multiplied your sons;

He has planted them in faith and piety.

He has watered them with the Holy Spirit:

They grow in self-denial and perfect virtue.

Through His intercessions, O Christ God, preserve Your people in peace!

Kontakion (Tone 8)

The wilderness rejoiced at your birth, holy father Euthymius.

In your memory, it brings a harvest of joy through your many miracles.

Pour these wonders on our souls as well and cleanse us from our sins,

That we may sing: Alleluia!
