Menaion — translated by Isaac Lambertsen

Rights-risk acceptedServed

¶1

Irmos: In the furnace the Hebrew children boldly trod the flame underfoot and transformed the fire into dew, crying out: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!

¶2

Theotokion: O Virgin, thou hast been revealed to be the place of sanctity from whence God appeared, sanctifying us who chant with faith: Blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, O all-pure one!

¶3

Having quenched the fire of ungodliness with the outpourings of thy blood, O ever all-memorable Zenobius, with the rain of miracles thou dost ever bedew us who bless the Master, crying: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!

¶4

Entering into the divine darkness, thou didst behold the Invisible One insofar as thou wast able, O martyr; and He illumineth the soul and mind of thee who with pious thought dost chant: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!

¶5

The Master rendereth honor unto thee who suffered steadfastly, cast down the wiles of the enemy, and chanted aloud: Blessed art Thou, O Lord God, forever!
