Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: With oneness of mind, we, the faithful, magnify thee, the Mother of God, who, in manner past understanding and recounting, ineffably gavest birth in time to the Timeless One.

¶2

O all-glorious martyrs, pray ye for the salvation of all, standing before Christ, for Whose sake ye endured tortures.

¶3

Theotokion: Rejoice, O Theotokos, Mother of Christ God, to Whom thou gavest birth! With the martyrs pray thou that remission of sins be given to those who hymn thee with faith.

¶4

With mighty power ye brought down the fortress of deception, O invincible ones; and now ye have been counted worthy to dwell with the angels in the mansions of heaven.

¶5

Having vanquished the tyrant with the ways of lawful martyrdom, O most honorable ones, ye have received crowns of righteousness.
