Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: I will sacrifice to Thee with a voice of praise, O Lord, the Church crieth unto Thee, cleansed of the blood of demons by the blood which, for mercy’s sake, flowed from Thy side.

¶2

As a lover of the Wisdom of God, thou wast crowned by Him with a wreath of the virtues, O divinely inspired one, becoming in all ways the disciple of the light-bearing Chariton. Twice

¶3

Theotokion: By thy birthgiving have we been freed from the curse of our first mother Eve; for, giving birth to Christ, O Virgin Mother, thou didst pour forth blessing upon all in its stead.

¶4

Thou didst set thy feet upon the rock of Christ, ascending the virtues by thine activity, O divinely wise father, and appointing ascents in thy heart with divine understanding.
