Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Christ our God, Who was nailed to the Cross in the flesh and revealed it to us as a sword of salvation, O ye children, exalt supremely forever!

¶2

Ministering unto the wise Paul, thy guide in divine journeys, O holy hierarch, thou didst impart the doctrines of salvation unto all the saved.

¶3

Theotokion: O Theotokos, thou hast been shown to be a heaven who hath shone forth upon us the Sun of righteousness, illumining us all to understand divine knowledge.

¶4

Thou wast shown to be a radiant dawn illumining the whole world with light, O right wondrous one, and as a herald thou hast driven away the profound darkness of ignorance.

¶5

Working miracles through the invocation of the Father, the Spirit and the incarnate Word, O wise one, thou didst convince the wise Greeks to worship the Essence in three Hypostases.
