Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: With Thy divine light illumine the souls of those who with love rise at dawn unto Thee, O Good One, that they may know Thee, O Word of God, to be the true God Who calleth all forth from the darkness of sin.

¶2

Having most manifestly dyed a martyr’s cloak for thyself in the streams of thy sacred blood, O right wise martyr, thou dwellest, rejoicing, in habitations and splendors on high.

¶3

Theotokion: Delivered from the ancestral curse, O all-pure one, we have all received blessing through thee. Wherefore, with love we bless, magnify, honor and call thee blessed.

¶4

The evil-minded one stretched thee out, O blessed and ever-memorable one, who possessest a mind wholly stretched out towards God, and he mutilated thee who called upon the great name of the Almighty.

¶5

Enlivened by grace, adorned, thou didst as a martyr endure drops which wounded; and vanquishing ungodliness, O Conon, thou wast counted worthy of immortality.
