Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Christ our God, Who was nailed to the Cross in the flesh and revealed it to us as a sword of salvation, O ye children, exalt ­supremely forever!

¶2

Theotokion: That our race may hymn thee who art magnified with voices of thanksgiving, O Bride of God, protect and preserve us from all harm.

¶3

Receiving all the splendor of the Comforter in thy pure heart, O Symeon, thou didst destroy the lightless darkness of the demons, illumining the faithful.

¶4

Having dried up the sea of grievous heresy with the streams of thy divine doctrines, thou hast watered every soul which produceth the grain of faith.

¶5

Thou wast shown to be a priest, O martyr, entering the temple of God with thy blood, where thou dost ever gaze upon the unblemished Lamb Who was slaughtered for thy sake.
