Lives of Cyprian and Ustinia
Cyprian was born into a pagan family in the 3rd century BC, and as was customary, he studied the world of magic and witchcraft.
In middle age, the man was an authoritative black magician, to whom people from all over the area turned. One day, someone asked Cyprian to bewitch a young girl, Justinia, she was a devout Christian. Thanks to her strong faith in the Creator, the witchcraft did not work, the magician was angry for a long time and took turns sending evil eyes and damage to her family, but the girl, with faith in her soul, begged for the health of her loved ones.
Confused, the sorcerer decided to find out about Christianity and gradually Cyprian believed in Jesus Christ and was baptized, having first destroyed all his black books. The young man immersed himself in faith and loved the creator with all his heart. He served at the temple and achieved the rank of priest, and then bishop.
Due to the persecution of Christians, the Roman emperor and many believers, including Cyprian, were thrown into prison behind the castle, and Justinia was also there. The believers were mocked, subjected to various tortures, and demanded to renounce their faith, but they steadfastly endured all this. After their death, pilgrims began to come to the graves of Cyprian and Justinia, where miraculous healings of the sick took place.
You can pray to the Holy Martyr Cyprian in the following cases:
- for cleansing from conspiracies and damage;
- removing the evil eye;
- to ask for protection from dark forces and demons.

no comments
Today you can buy an akathist to Cyprian and Justinia, published in the form of a booklet, in almost any church shop. The popularity of the akathist is associated not only with the love of Orthodox Christians for these truly revered saints, but also with the belief that they help protect themselves, their loved ones and their home from the harmful effects of evil forces. The akathist to the holy great martyrs Cyprian and Ustinya (this is the popular name of the holy martyr Justinia) contains a brief description of their lives and exploits, based on the records of contemporaries, and also praises the holy martyrs who suffered from the persecution of Christians under the Roman emperor Diocletian.
The icon and akathist to Cyprian and Justinia should be in every Orthodox home
The text of the akathist to Cyprian and Ustinye tells that the future martyr was not a Christian from birth. In his youth, Cyprian practiced witchcraft and was one of the most famous magicians in his area. One day a young man came to him and asked him to bewitch a beautiful Christian girl. Cyprian performed all the usual witchcraft rituals, but, to his great surprise, they did not work. The author of the Orthodox akathist to St. Cyprian and Justinia writes that the sorcerer flew into a rage and began to send various disasters to the village in which the girl lived, but all of them were reflected by Justinia’s prayers. Then Cyprian, seeing the power of God, in whom Justinia believed, and the powerlessness of pagan deities before Him, believed in Christ and was baptized.
Before reading the akathist, Cyprian and Justina must take the blessing of the priest
According to the text of the akathist to St. Cyprian and Ustinya, the newly converted sorcerer showed such zeal for Christ that after some time he was ordained a presbyter, and a few years later - a bishop. But during the next wave of persecution of Christians, Cyprian and Justinia were slandered and thrown into prison. Those who refused to renounce the faith of Christ were tortured and then beheaded. You can read and listen to the holy akathist to Cyprian and Ustinia during home prayer, after first taking the blessing of your confessor. The memory of the holy martyrs in the Orthodox Church is celebrated on October 2.

Canon to the Hieromartyr Cyprian and the Martyr Justina
Song 1
Irmos: Sea the dark abyss / with damp feet / ancient Israel walked, / with the cross-shaped hand of Moses / defeated the power of Amalek in the desert.
Chorus: Hieromartyr Cyprian and Martyr Justino, pray to God for us.
Now established with the Premium ranks, O sacred and Divine head,/look down from Heaven upon you who sing piously/and preserve with your prayers.
In the darkness of ignorance, reverend, you are fiercely possessed/ and you are kindled by the soul-destroying passions of the flesh through intemperance,/ you have suddenly found glorious transformation, all-blessed.
Glory: For in the seats of the destroyers, first, O Father, thou didst sit in the saddles/ and in the seats of the elders thou didst glorify Christ again,/ having been changed by the Master’s revealed Divine grace.
And now: the Virgin remained after the Nativity:/ having given birth to the Creator of all and the Lord,/ appearing unusually and strangely to us as a body,/ to the Mother of God of the Ever-Virgin Mother.
Song 3
Irmos: Your Church rejoices in You, O Christ, calling:/ You are my strength, O Lord,/ and refuge and confirmation.
Chorus: Hieromartyr Cyprian and Martyr Justino, pray to God for us.
Like Paul, who turned over his spiritual love to Christ, the Cyprian of all wisdom,/ you were his disciple.
Christ betroths you, / instead of passionate vestments, giving you the robe of glory / and the robe of rebirth.
Glory: The fasting fast-monger was formerly patient, / later, Cyprian of all valor, / you were a witness of the Truth.
And now: Lordly and truly, we honor You, the Mother of God, / for You gave birth to God, / You were flesh, All-immaculate.
Lord, have mercy, three times.
Sedalen, tone 8. Similar to: Wisdom:
Diligently punished for delusion, / like Paul, called quickly from Heaven, / We instruct the cross to the light of knowledge, / for we kindle honest virgins with love, / for this sake you were united to the Creator of men. / Thus, having exposed the weakness of the enemy, / with it you were honored with the face of martyrs, / Cyprians, fertilizer of the bishops, / pray to Christ the God of sins to leave taxes / to those who honor your holy memory with love.
Glory, even now, to the Mother of God: In the misfortune of a multi-braided fall/ from enemies visible and invisible,/ overwhelmed by the storm of my countless sins,/ and, as to my warm intercession and protection, O Pure One,/ I flow to the refuge of Thy goodness./ Likewise, O Most Pure One, from You, Incarnate without seed/ pray diligently for all Your servants/ who continually pray to You, the Most Pure Mother of God/ asking Him to grant forgiveness of sins ever/ to those who worthily sing Your glory.
Song 4
Irmos: You have been exalted, having seen the Church on the Cross, / the righteous Sun, / a hundred in its rank, / worthily crying out: / glory to your power, Lord.
Chorus: Hieromartyr Cyprian and Martyr Justino, pray to God for us.
Having awakened, O God-voice, from the first fury, / you denounced all the demonic flattery and soul-spirited charm and, rejoicing, you cried out: / glory to your power, Lord.
Justina is valiantly strengthened/ and the Pure Virgin and the Delighted One earnestly praying/ to escape the snares and snares of the enemy.
Glory: Strengthened by the faith of your Bridegroom/ and clothed with the power of the Cross,/ the demons are hidden, crying out:/ glory to your power, Lord.
And now: Who by nature is free, / in the image of a slave is impoverished by the riches of goodness, Mother of the Ever-Virgin, / from You, according to Hypostasis, all humanity receives.
Song 5
Irmos: You, Lord, are my light,/ you have come into the world./ Holy Light, turn from the darkness of ignorance/ those who sing of you to faith.
Chorus: Hieromartyr Cyprian and Martyr Justino, pray to God for us.
The champion of the Pure Mother of God, having become rich, Justino, / preserved her honest virginity without harm.
The animated Christ and the most beautiful image, / let us honor Justina, / intimate kindness and unstealthy devotion.
Glory: The Bride of Christ, ever present and undefiled,/ having received suffering and fasting,/ wears the crown righteously.
And now: The angelic and human mind cannot say/ the ineffable and glorious miracle of Your Nativity,/ All-Pure One.
Song 6
Irmos: I will devour Thee with a voice of praise, O Lord, / The Church cries out to Thee, / having been cleansed from the blood of demons, / for the sake of mercy from Thy side / with the flowing Blood.
Chorus: Hieromartyr Cyprian and Martyr Justino, pray to God for us.
You have reached the depths of the wickedness of the underworld, / but to the extreme of virtue, Father, / you have ascended to the heights, / having been gloriously transformed by Divine Baptism.
You were a servant of demons first, / but you appeared to be Christ’s Epiphany disciple, / having loved the last desire with love.
Glory: You have brought many martyrs to the Master, / demonstrating the greatest purchase, / purchasing the Kingdom of Heaven, God-wise, with the least blood.
And now: Break my captivity of sins, Bride of God, the sinful law, / Granting freedom to life by the law, / Who gave birth to the Lord of the law.
Lord, have mercy, three times. Glory, and now:

Thou didst not neglect the wisdom of the Hellenic wisdom, O glorious one, / but the Divine broadcast of the apostles, rattled by the Spirit, father, / and clearly spoken with tongues of fire, thou cried out: / bless, O all the works of the Lord, the Lord.
You have risen to the high and most peaceful village of light, / offering to Christ with the blood, as an immaculate sacrifice, father, / a living slaughter, pleasant and pleasing, singing: / bless, all the works of the Lord, the Lord.

Chorus: Hieromartyr Cyprian and Martyr Justino, pray to God for us.
Above us, who piously sing thee, thou art admiring thee with Divine grace,/ through thy prayers, O God-speaker, and crowning with the weapon of goodwill,/ grant us peace and salvation,/ as the most divine clergyman.
The flow of healing is abundantly rewarded by your dust to those who love you;/ to you, Cyprians, God-bearing wives, as if they receive Divine treasure/ and diligently reveal what is hidden,/ so that we may all enjoy you.
Glory: Direct our procession to Christ, O rich one, through deeds, / and God-pleasing life, and the purest purification / imploring God’s quietness, as a most compassionate hierarch.
And now: Strengthen our spiritual weakness, O Mother of God, by Thy power, / resolve the burden, O Most Holy One, imposed by Thy servant, / the Sun that has risen unspeakably to the world of righteousness.
