Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: O Lord Who by divine knowledge brought the ends of the earth into the light out of the night of ignorance, enlighten me with the dawning of Thy love for mankind.

¶2

Looking forward noetically to divine rewards, O Dorotheus, thou didst endure great tribulations and trials.

¶3

Theotokion: Thou wast the orient of the Sun Who shone forth before the morning star, O pure one, and through thee have those who were in the darkness of evils beheld the Light.

¶4

Preaching the Trinity in the unity of the Godhead, O Dorotheus, thou didst destroy the vainglorious arrogance of the madness of polytheism.

¶5

Refusing to worship the works of the hands of the iniquitous, O martyr Dorotheus, thou didst endure trials, tribulations, wounds and pangs.
