Troparion of Ss Socrates and Stephen
Tone 1
Thou didst win the crown of martyrdom,
O noble Socrates and Stephen,
when thou, following in the footsteps of both our nation's Patron and our protomartyr*,
didst resist the edict of the God-hating Diocletian.
Pray to God that we also may be given strength to be faithful, even unto death,
that we too may inherit eternal life.

* a reference to Saint Alban, Protomartyr of Britain
