Virgin Martyrs Zenaΐda and Philonίlla, of Tarsus in Cilicia - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 3

Let us honor the most wondrous Tarsus, / which blossomed forth the precious flowers, the wise Zenaΐda and Philonίlla, / for they possessed an unshakable foundation of faith / and overthrew the hordes of demons. / Therefore, they rejoice with the Angels, and always intercede for us.

Troparion — Tone 1

O rational lambs of Christ the Lamb and Shepherd, / you were led to martyrdom, finishing the course of your life and preserving your faith. / Therefore, we celebrate your holy memory today with joyful souls, / for you are worthy of admiration and are glorified by Christ.

Kontakion — Tone 2

Having obtained your all-holy temple as a source of healing for our souls, / all the faithful cry out to you: / “O Virgin Martyr Zenaΐda, whose name is glorious, / never cease to entreat Christ God for all of us.”
