Righteous Martha and Mary, the sisters of Lazarus - Troparion & Kontakion
Troparion — Tone 3
(Podoben: “Awed by the beauty...”)
O sisters of Lazarus, you believed fervently in Christ and His wondrous deeds, / and were adorned with radiant virtues. / Now with your brother, you were found worthy to be numbered with the Saints; / together with him, pray to the Master for us, / O wise Mary and Martha.
Troparion — Tone 2
Appearing to the Myrrh-bearing women at the tomb, the Angel exclaimed: / “Myrrh is meet for the dead; / but Christ has shown Himself a stranger to corruption. / So proclaim: ‘The Lord is risen, granting the world great mercy.’”
Kontakion — Tone 3
(Podoben: “Today the Virgin...”)
Formerly, you dwelt in the town of Bethany, / now in Heaven, you abide in Paradise, where the Lord's countenance shines. / For with fervent longing, you gave your hearts and souls to Him Who is the Life and Resurrection; / as you stand on high, O Mary and Martha, / entreat Him to grant salvation to us.
Kontakion — Tone 2
When You proclaimed “Rejoice” to the Myrrhbearers, / You caused the lamentation of the foremother Eve to cease by Your Resurrection; O Christ God; / commanding Your Apostles to proclaim: / “The Savior is risen from the tomb.”
