Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Thou hast come, O my Lord, as a light into the world: a holy light turning from the darkness of ignorance those who hymn Thee with faith.

¶2

Loving Christ, the Myrrh Who was poured forth, O maiden, with divine wisdom thou didst follow after Him, glorifying Him with hymns.

¶3

Theotokion: Who can describe thy mystery, O most immaculate one? For thou didst contain within thy womb the Creator Who cannot be contained by anything.

¶4

The martyr traded this transitory life for life everlasting, and inherited the kingdom of heaven in exchange for a little blood.

¶5

Like fountains and springs the healing relics of the martyr pour forth cures upon the infirm and through faith heal afflictions of soul.
