Ode 4. Εἰσακήκοα Κύριε.

Having made yourself an unsullied mirror of godly thoughts, you shone as a conspicuous beacon, O Martyr, in the midst of champions.

Invincible Martyr, you did not offer sacrifice to a shadowy demon, but preferred to snatch a life-bearing death for the sake of true religion.

Among the champions, as though her body felt no pain, the blameless Martyr, insensible to tortures, persevered in love of divine affection.

Your countenance, patient under pain, O Martyr, by blows shone radiantly ; while you blackened the mind of the foe with the lightning ash of the divine Spirit.

O God, as you are without sin, bestow on us pardon of offences, and make your world peaceful, at the prayers of her who bore you.
