Greatmartyr Irene of Thessalonica

Troparion - Tone 4

Your lamb Irene, O Jesus,
Calls out to You in a loud voice:
I love You, O my bridegroom,
And in seeking You, I endure suffering.
In Baptism I was crucified so that I might reign in You,
And died so that I might live with You.
Accept me as a pure sacrifice,
For I have offered myself in love.
By her prayers save our souls, since You are merciful.

Kontakion - Tone 3

O pure Irene, you adorned yourself with the splendors of virginity,
So you became all-beautiful in your struggle:
You were dyed with the blood you shed for Christ
And so became all-pleasing to God.
Therefore you received the prize of glory from your creator.
