Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: In the furnace the Hebrew children boldly trod the flame underfoot and transformed the fire into dew, crying out: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!

¶2

Devoting thy time to hymns and supplications, O holy hierarch, thou didst slay the passions and show thyself to be a watchful guardian for us, the faithful, who piously hymn thee and keep thy memory.

¶3

Theotokion: By thy birthgiving thou dost most gloriously restore the laws of nature, O Virgin, and dost cleanse us who are become corrupt through evil transgressions. Wherefore, we praise thee as is meet.

¶4

Revealed as both martyr and holy hierarch, in divine manner hast thou inherited the blessings of heaven; and standing before the throne of the Creator hast thou cried aloud: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!

¶5

Thou didst shine forth as the dawn, proclaiming Jesus Christ Who shone forth from the Father before the morning star, O beacon of the Church, adornment of hierarchs and ornament of athletes.
