Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: Send Thou a radiant dawn upon us, in that Thou art good; and guide us to the fear of Thee, O Master.

¶2

Theotokion: Rejoice, thou who without seed gavest birth unto our God! Rejoice, thou who alone art the all-pure Mother of God! Rejoice, thou Bride unwedded!

¶3

Having watered thy thoughts with words of divine understanding, O glorious Nestor, thou didst produce the harvest of martyrdom.

¶4

With the healing of thy words, O Demetrius, martyr for Christ, Nestor put an end to the great iniquity of ungodliness.

¶5

Locked in combat with a visible foe, thou didst invisibly acquire the help of God, O glorious Nestor.
