At the aposticha, the stichera from the Pentecostarion; and Glory…, in Tone VI—

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Desiring the honors of a higher calling, thou didst drink in dishonor as it were water, O venerable one, thereby slaking thy spiritual thirst and in nowise knowing satiety; wherefore, when Christ God desired to glorify thee, thou didst hide from the eyes of men. Yet the whole world hath learned of thy struggles, and we all now cry out to thee: Rejoice, thou who hast been crowned with a heavenly diadem! Rejoice, O faithful handmaid of Christ! Rejoice, thou who among the all-wise art most wise! Forget us not in thy confident supplications.

¶2

Troparion in Tone VIII—

¶3

Now & ever…, from the Pentecostarion.

¶4

Glory…, Now & ever…: Troparion from the Pentecostarion.

¶5

In thee, O mother, that which was created according to the image of God was manifestly saved; for, taking up thy cross, thou didst follow after Christ; and, praying, thou didst learn to disdain the flesh, for it passeth away, but to care for thy soul as a thing immortal. Wherefore, with the angels thy spirit doth rejoice, O venerable Isidora.
