Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Once, in Babylon, the children of Abraham trampled upon the flame of the furnace, crying aloud in hymns: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!

¶2

Standing, crowned, before the throne of thy Master, O martyr, preserve those who cry out with faith: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!

¶3

Theotokion: Following the words of thy lips, O Mother of God, we bless thee with faith, crying out to thine Offspring: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!

¶4

Thou hast been counted worthy to dance in the mansions of heaven, O right wondrous martyr Irene, crying aloud: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!

¶5

Desiring to obtain the beauty of thy Lover, O Irene, thou didst endure the pangs of martyrdom, crying out: O God of our fathers, blessed art Thou!
