Ode 7.
Anastasis liturgical translations — translated by Ephrem Lash
With virgins you go bearing your torch to heaven, having bravely endured the torches of fire, as you sang: Blessed are you in the temple of your glory!
Like a dowry you brought to the Bridegroom a company and people that believed in Christ, having beaten off with your wonder-working shafts of light the blackness of error.
You did not flinch, but rather with manly courage, all-revered Martyr, you approached the pyre, fully aware in soul and crying out: Blessed are you in the temple of your glory!
Hail, hallowed and divine tabernacle of the Most High. Hail, Mother of God, through whom joy has been given to those who cry: Blessed are you among women, all-blameless Lady.
