# Venerable Stephen, Abbot of the Kiev Far Caves, and Bishop of Vladimir, in Volhynia

🎶Troparion🎶

By a flood of tears you made the desert fertile, / and your longing for God brought forth fruits in abundance. / By the radiance of miracles you illumined the whole universe! / O our holy father Stephen, pray to Christ our God to save our souls!
