Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Thou hast come, O my Lord, as a light into the world: a holy light turning from the darkness of ignorance those who hymn Thee with faith.

¶2

Thou didst set thy feet firmly upon the righteousness of honored martyrdom, O all-lauded Agathopodes, causing the foe to trip.

¶3

Theotokion: O Mother of God, who gavest birth unto the all-good Word Who bringeth blessing upon all: heal thou the afflictions of my soul.

¶4

Having acquired the water of life flowing into your hearts, O athletes, ye received a glorious end through water.

¶5

Cast into the depths of the sea and willingly slain, O athletes, ye dried up the outpouring of the peril of idolatry.
