Irmos: Cleanse me, O Savior, for many are my transgressions; and lead me up from the abyss of evils, I pray, for to Thee have I cried, and Thou hast hearkened to me, O God of my salvation.
Kontakion, in Tone III: Spec. Mel.: “Today the Virgin…” —
Thou wast shown to be committed to Christ, beautiful and undefiled, and like unto a pure wellspring and a greatly fertile orchard, O most glorious Marina, thou beloved bride and garden of paradise which cannot be stolen.
Theotokion: O Mary, thou pure and all-pure vessel of the Creator of all, grant me tears to cleanse my soul, and hearken unto my entreaty, O most immaculate one.
A most magnificent maiden followed after Thee, hastening to the sweet fragrance of Thy myrrh, O Master, and emulating with her patience Thine all-pure and most honored sufferings.
Manfully thou didst endure struggles, O much-suffering martyr Marina of lordly renown, and with the power of the Cross thou didst destroy him who of old greatly boasted aloud to bring harm to men’s souls.
Arrayed in the beauties of virginity, O virgin Marina, thou wast crowned with imperishable crowns; and stained with the blood of thy martyrdom, O martyr, thou hast received the trophy of victory for thy suffering, piously shining forth miracles of healing.
Ikos: Afire from childhood with love in thy heart, thou didst hasten to Christ thy Bridegroom like a deer thirsting for ever-flowing springs of water, O honored virgin and martyr; and having preserved thyself incorrupt through thy suffering, O right glorious bride, thou didst arrive, adorned and arrayed, in the bridal chamber of thy Creator, wearing thy crown of victory and bearing thy lamp, receiving the incorrupt Bridegroom and accepting like gold the trophy of victory for thy suffering.
