At the Aposticha, Glory…, in Tone IV —
Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen
Illumined with the light of the Trinity, the brother and sister set at nought the savagery of the tyrants. Wherefore, trampling down the flame, they joined chorus, chanting: “Behold now, what is so good or so joyous as for brethren to dwell together in unity?” And looking to divine glory, they were counted worthy of the glory of heaven, ever entreating Christ God in our behalf, that our souls may be saved.
Now & ever…: Theotokion, or this Stavrotheotokion: Spec. Mel.: “As one valiant among the martyrs…” —
Troparion, in Tone IV —
As she beheld Thee, O Lord, nailed to the Cross, the Ewe-lamb, Thy Mother, marvelled and cried out: “What is this that I see, O my Son most desired! How hath the unbelieving council of the iniquitous rewarded Thee, in return for Thy many miracles? But glory, O Master, to Thine ineffable coming!”
In their sufferings, O Lord, Thy martyrs have received imperishable crowns from Thee, our God; for, possessed of Thy might, they cast down the tormenters and crushed the feeble audacity of the demons. By their supplications, save Thou our souls.
