Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Once, in Babylon, the fiery furnace divided its activity at the command of God, consuming the Chaldæans, but bedewing the faithful, who chant: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!

¶2

Conversing with the all-radiant Light, O all-blessed Theodore, thou wast shown to be radiant; and, deified by a higher union, thou criest now: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord! Twice

¶3

Theotokion: Through thee, O Theotokos, hath the radiant Sun of righteousness, the Most High incarnate, manifested Himself unto us, illumining all things with rays of His divinity. To Him do we now sing: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!

¶4

As a steadfast witness against sin who contended even to the shedding of thy blood, O divinely wise Theodore, thou didst adorn thy head with the crown of suffering, crying out now: Bless the Lord, all ye works of the Lord!
