Menas of Egypt

Reading from the Synaxarion:

Saint Menas, who had Egypt as his fatherland, contested in Cotyaeion of
Phrygia in 296 during the reign of Diocletian and Maximian. A soldier
distinguished for his valour in war, he renounced his rank and withdrew to
devote himself to ascetical struggles and prayer in the mountains.
Filled with zeal and more than human courage, he presented himself in
the midst of a pagan festival in Cotyaeion and declared himself to be
a Christian. After terrible torments which he endured with
astonishing courage, he was beheaded. His martyrium in Egypt became a place
of universal pilgrimage; evidence of ancient journeys to his shrine
have been found as far away as Ireland. The glory and refuge of the
Christians of Egypt, he has been revealed to be a worker of great miracles
and a swift defender for all who call on him with faith; besides all
else, he is also invoked for help in finding lost objects.

Apolytikion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone
With great valour of soul, thou didst strive in martyrdom, and having
fought the good fight, O divine Great Martyr Menas, thou from Heaven
hast received the gift of miracles; for God hath shown thee to the
world as a worker of great signs, and He made thee our protector and a
swift help in afflictions and ever-vigilant defence from harm.

Kontakion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone
As godly-minded athletes and Martyrs who strove for piety, the
Church doth honour and glorify this day the godly contests and travails
of Menas the prizewinner, noble Victor, brave Vincent, and valiant
Stephanie, and lovingly doth cry out and glorify Christ, the Friend of man.
