Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: I have heard, O Lord, of Thy glorious dispensation, and I have glorified Thine unapproachable power, O Thou Who lovest mankind.

¶2

Theotokion: We bless the Virgin, the heavenly ladder whereby God descended and elevated human nature.

¶3

Thou shinest with miracles and with thy divine prayers dost drive far away the darkness of the passions, O wise one.

¶4

Proclaiming the incarnation of Christ and His divinity, O divinely eloquent one, thou didst put to shame the [Arian] tribe of the Lombards.

¶5

Entering the never-waning darkness like Moses, thou didst receive the tablets of the Gospel, O blessed Gregory.
