Saint Polyeuctus, a soldier in rank, contested during the reign of Valerian,
in the year 255. He was from Melitene, a city in Armenia.
Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone:
Thy Martyr, O Lord, in his courageous contest for Thee received the prize of
the crowns of incorruption and life from Thee, our immortal God. For since
he possessed Thy strength, he cast down the tyrants and wholly destroyed
the demons' strengthless presumption. O Christ God, by his prayers, save
our souls, since Thou art merciful.
Kontakion in the
Fourth Tone:
When the Saviour bowed His head within the Jordan, there He crushed the dragons'
heads; as for His trophy-bearing Saint, when Polyeuctus's head was cut off,
he put to shame the deceiver and wily foe.
