Ode 5.
Anastasis liturgical translations — translated by Ephrem Lash
The Martyrs, displaying a valiant intent and an invincible purpose before the judgement seats, were wreathed with crowns of victory.
The Martyrs, having competed in the contests on earth, receive in the highest their heavenly reward from you, O Giver of life.
Let the godly Virgins be praised with hymns as a lamp of many lights, a dwelling of many storeys, a tabernacle of the Trinity.
Having found you alone to be chosen, fair and unblemished, the Word beyond godhead becomes embodied from you, O Full of God’s grace.
Translated by Ephrem Lash. Edition lash.en.anastasis.
