resounding and triumphant,
according to the Psalms, praise God,
Who showed us Resurrection, for
through the Prayers of the Pious
Emperor, He Resurrected from the
Earth the Seven Holy Youths, who
had died 372 years before, in order
to put down the unbelieving
opponents and send them to Eternal
Shame, and for the Glory of Praise of
those who Fear Him. For our Lord
knows how to Glorify those who
Glorify Him, and He does the will of
those who Fear Him in Truth, as our
Only Compassionate Lord and Lover
of mankind.
Now and ever, and to the Ages of
ages.
Amen
O Unwed Virgin, who ineffably
Conceived God Incarnate, O Mother
of the Most High God: accept
Entreaties from Thy Supplicants, O
All Blameless One. To all Thou grant
Purification of their offences. We
Pray Thee now: accept our
Supplications and Entreat Him to
Save us all.
Let
the Heavens Rejoice and let the
Earth be glad, for the Lord has
shown Strength with His Arm; He
has trampled down Death by
Death; He has become the First-
born of the dead; from the womb
of Hades He has Rescued us, and
to the world He has granted Great
Mercy.
The actual Facts of Thy Life
manifested Thee to Thy Flock as a
Rule of Faith, and as an Icon of
Gentleness and Teacher of Self-
Discipline. Wherefore, by Humility,
Thou acquired the Things on High,
and Riches through Poverty.
