Ode VII

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: The children of Abraham in the Persian furnace, afire with love of piety more than with the flame, cried out: Blessed art Thou in the temple of Thy glory, O Lord!

¶2

The grace of God rightly crowned thee before thy sufferings as a treasury rich in the virtues, and, resplendent with gifts of miracles, it hath made thee radiant in the world.

¶3

Theotokion: Having within thy womb Him Who as God holdeth all things in the palm of His hands, O Mother of God, thou preservest those who cry aloud: Blessed art Thou among women, O all-immaculate one.

¶4

Beholding the threat of the sword and the flame of the fire, O martyr, thou didst arm thy mind and soul with faith and with fearless understanding didst preach Christ, thy Creator, Fashioner and Lord.
