Thou

struggled once in Martyrdom, Thou struggled for the Faith, and Thou did both with ardent Love for Christ Thy Bridegroom. And now pray Him through the Theotokos, that insolent heretic enemies be suppressed underfoot by our Leaders, O All Famed Euphemia, WHO RECEIVED FROM THE 630 GOD BEARING FATHERS, THE DEFINITION OF THE FAITH AND GUARDED IT.

What

should one marvel at first: Thy Martyric contests and accomplishments? Or Thy Virginity and Blameless Life? Thou gladdened the Father by wedding the Son and adorning Thyself by the Holy Spirit. Who is capable of lauding these things? Who can tell of the many Virtues that shine all around Thee and which never fade? Like the sun, Thou rose from the East out of the grave, and Thou shone on all, and with Thy Rays Thou Illuminate the land and the sea, and Sanctify every continent, and make fragrant the ends of the earth. Therefore, THOU RECEIVED FROM THE 630 GOD-BEARING FATHERS THE DEFINITION OF THE FAITH AND GUARDED IT.
