Kontakion of Cyprian of Carthage in the First Tone
We honor thee, O Cyprian, as a true shepherd who with thy sacred words and divinely-wise doctrines hast shown us the boundary stones marking out the one Church of Christ. Even unto death didst thou bear witness with courage; wherefore, we extol thee as a hierarch and Martyr. Entreat that we all be saved.
Cyprian’s baptismal testimony: “When the water of regeneration cleansed the impurity of my former life, a light from on high shone into my heart... and the Spirit transformed me into a new man by a second birth.”
