Troparion of the Feast Tone 7

Thou wast transfigured on the mount, O Christ God,/ revealing Thy glory to Thy disciples as far as they could bear it./ Let Thine everlasting light shine upon us sinners/ through the prayers of the Theotokos, O Giver of Light, glory to Thee.

Troparion of St. Evplos Tone 4

As a holy deacon, a righteous minister of the Church of Christ,/ thou didst contend superbly./ Thou didst sail over the sea of many torments and afflictions,/ O all-blessed Evplos./ Guide us into the haven of heaven.

Kontakion of the Feast Tone 7

Thou wast transfigured on the mountain, O Christ our God,/ and Thy disciples beheld Thy glory as far as they were capable,/ that when they should see Thee crucified,/ they might know that Thy suffering was voluntary/ and might proclaim to the world/ that Thou art indeed the reflection of the Father.

Kontakion of St. Evplos Tone 1

Thou didst bear in thy hands the law of Christ/ and cry to thine enemies in the stadium:/ I am coming willingly to contest most steadfastly./ Then thou didst gladly finish thy course by bending thy neck to the sword.
