Ode I

Irmos: There is none like unto Thee, O all-glorious Lord; for with Thy mighty hand Thou didst deliver the people whom Thou hadst acquired, O Thou Who lovest mankind.

Katavasia: The irmoi from the Pentecostarion.

Thy fame hath reached even unto the ends of the earth, O queen, and thy piety and humility of mind have borne thee up to the heavens, where thou now abidest in splendor.

Theotokion: O mystic Virgin who wast foretold by the Prophet Isaiah and by Gabriel wast informed of the incarnation of God, how shall I dare to hymn thee?

It is the day of the resurrection of the Lord! Come together, all ye faithful, and let us celebrate the feast of the three martyrs; for God the Trinity hath glorified them, who chant a hymn of victory.

Irmos: It is the day of resurrection! Let us be enlightened, O ye people! Pascha, the pascha of the Lord! For from death unto life and from earth to heaven hath Christ our God led those who chant the hymn of victory!

Emulating the holy Helena, thou didst adorn the land of Iberia with churches of God, O Tamara of great renown.

Theotokion: Having seen thy Son and God risen from the dead, thou didst rejoice with the apostles, O pure one full of the grace of God; and as thou art the cause of joy for all, thou wast first to receive the salutation “Rejoice!”, O most immaculate Mother of God.

It is the day of the resurrection of Christ the King! Come together, O ye faithful, and, beholding all manner of new things, let us celebrate a new feast, hymning the three new martyrs with love.

Considering servitude to Christ to be honor, and holding riches and earthly dominion to be but a shadow and a dream, thou didst not attach thy heart thereto, O all-wise Tamara.

Let us purify our senses, and let us behold the resurrected Christ and His three new martyrs, who shine with greater brightness than the sun and illumine all the faithful with grace.

Let us purify our senses, and let us behold the three sun-like luminaries who ascend together unto Christ, the Sun Who shone forth from the tomb: the honored new martyrs who illumine the faithful.

Let the heavens be glad as is meet, and let the earth rejoice. Let the Monastery of Iveron celebrate with love, enriched by the treasure of the martyrs’ relics which cannot be taken away.
