KATHERINE THE GREAT
KATHERINE THE GREAT
MARTYR OF ALEXANDRIA
Let us praise
the most auspicious bride of Christ,
the divine Katherine,
protectress of Sinai,
our aid and our help.
For, she brilliantly silenced
the eloquence of the impious
by the sword of the spirit,
and now, crowned as a Martyr,
she asks great mercy for all.
(Troparion)
O friends of martyrs,
now divinely raise up
a renewed chorus,
praising the all-wise Katherine.
For, she proclaimed Christ in the arena,
trampled on the serpent,
and spat upon the knowledge of the orators.
(Kontakion)
