Martyr Agathonicus of Nicomedia, and those with him, who suffered under Maximian – Troparion & Kontakion

Commemorated on August 22

Troparion β€” Tone 4

Your holy martyr Agathonicus 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 β€” Tone 1

Having received the good calling, divinely-wise One, / you abandoned the cult of evil men, not fearing their tortures, glorious Agathonicus. / Therefore, you have inherited good things, / and worthily received the incorruptible crown with your fellow martyrs.
