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

Thou wast able to destroy the savagery of the enemy, O all-praised Pelagia, strengthened by the Cross and grace of the Master. Twice

¶3

Theotokion: The Lord made His abode within thee, O Mother of God, restoring man who had fallen into corruption through the deception of the serpent.

¶4

Now dost thou truly rejoice, having united thyself to thy Bridegroom through martyrdom, O all-radiant one, holding the lamp of thy virginity.
