Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Beholding the sea of life surging with the tempest of temptations, fleeing to Thy calm haven I cry unto Thee: Lead up my life from corruption, O greatly Merciful One!

¶2

Kontakion & Ikos from the Pentecostarion.

¶3

Furnished with the Cross as mast and sail, O holy martyrs, with faith ye safely traversed the deep of perils and have come to rest in the havens of God.

¶4

Theotokion: O most good Mistress who gavest birth in the flesh to the all-good God, bless thou my heart, which hath been afflicted with the passions, that I may magnify thee with faith and love.

¶5

Having heated a brazen cauldron, the ungodly cast thee into it as thou confessed Christ, O Maura; but thou didst remain unharmed, and they found that thou hadst been cooled by the dew of the Spirit.

¶6

Bound, O martyrs, ye manfully loosed all the bonds of the enemy, and, putting off the flesh, ye have utterly bound your souls to Christ with love, O ever all-memorable ones.
