Acepsimas the Bishop, Joseph the Presbyter, & Aeithalas the Deacon, Martyrs of Persia

Reading from the Synaxarion:

Saint Acepsimas, a bishop, Saint Joseph, a presbyter, and Saint
Aethalas, a deacon, suffered exceedingly cruel torments and martyrdom
during the reign of Sapor II, King of Persia (325-379). See also April
17.

Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone
Thy Martyrs, O Lord, in their courageous contest for Thee received as
the prize the crowns of incorruption and life from Thee, our immortal
God. For since they possessed Thy strength, they cast down the
tyrants and wholly destroyed the demons' strengthless presumption. O
Christ God, by their prayers, save our souls, since Thou art merciful.

Kontakion in the Second Tone
The Myst'ries of Christ thou ven'rably didst celebrate, becoming
thyself a sacrifice that He received; for the cup of Christ thou drankest
in glory, O wise Acepsimas, with thy fellow athletes, O Saint, and
ceaselessly prayest Christ for all of us.
