Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Let us chant unto the Lord, Who led His people through the Red Sea, for He alone hath gloriously been glorified.

¶2

Joining chorus now with the ranks of heaven, O right glorious hierarch and martyr, save those who hymn thee with faith.

¶3

Theotokion: O thou who knewest not wedlock, in manner past understanding and recounting thou gavest birth to the preëternal Word, Who took flesh of thy blood.

¶4

Guided by the laws of the Master, O honored assembly of the martyrs of Christ, ye destroyed the counsels of the iniquitous.

¶5

Wholly consumed like an unblemished sacrifice, O blessed of God, because of thy faith thou didst offer thyself to God through the fire of torments.
