At the Aposticha, Glory…, the composition of Ephraim of Karyes, in Tone I,—
Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen
The zeal of a pious man drew his God-loving wife to splendid teaching; for the eminent Adrian was drawn on by the words of Natalia and finished the course of suffering. O the ways of the God-loving wife! For she did not bring her husband corruption as did Eve to Adam, but won never-ending life for him. Praising her with her husband, we cry out to Christ: Through Thy holy prayers grant us help!
Now & ever…, Theotokion, or this Stavrotheotokion: Spec. Mel: “Joy of the ranks of heaven…”—
Troparion, in Tone IV—
Standing before the Cross of thy Son and God, and beholding His longsuffering, weeping, thou didst say, O pure Mother: “Alas, O my Child most sweet, that Thou sufferest these things unjustly, O Word of God, that Thou mightest save mankind.”
In their sufferings, O Lord, Thy martyrs have received imperishable crowns from Thee, our God; for, possessed of Thy might, they set at naught the tormenters and crushed the feeble audacity of the demons. By their supplications save Thou our souls.
