Ode V

Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Thou art a Mediator between God and man, O Christ God, for by Thee, O Master, are we led up from the night of ignorance to Thy Father, the Source of light.

¶2

Thou art seen through the Spirit to be a brilliant lamp, O Artemius, illumining the faithful and driving away the gloom of evil and the spirits of darkness.

¶3

Theotokion: O Mistress, He Who was born of thee, having willingly endured the Cross and burial for our sake, in that He is mighty, hath made Artemius a most mighty witness to His own sufferings.

¶4

Having anchored the pillars of thy soul to the Rock of life, though crushed by stones and covered with wounds, thou didst remain unshaken, a true passion-bearer.

¶5

Armed with the precious powers of the Spirit, O victorious martyr, thou didst disdain the three-pronged blades, thereby removing the sting of the enemy.
