Afterfeast of the NATIVITY of the Theotokos
THE HOLY MARTYRS MENODORA, METRODORA AND NYMPHODORA
ST FINIAN ― ABBOT
Venerable ISAIAH founder of the Kykkos Monastery in Cyprus
Troparion of the NATIVITY of the Theotokos ― Tone 4
Thy Nativity, O Mother of God,/ has brought joy to all the world;/ for from thee arose the Sun of Righteousness, Christ our God,/ Who, having dissolved the curse, has given His blessing,/ and having abolished death, has granted us life eternal.
Troparion of the Virgin Martyrs ― Tone 1
Let all who rejoice at their triumph honour these three Virgin Martyrs/ who are united to God as sisters and pour forth fair streams of grace:/ Menodora, Metrodora and Nymphodora who were in all things courageous./ They ever pray to the Trinity for us.
Troparion of the Virgin Martyrs ― Tone 4
O Holy Martyrs,
You wisely exchanged horrible torture and bitter death for Eternal Life!
Three virgins, you confessed the unoriginate Trinity at an evil council,
And for this reason were slain by the sword,
Following the way of the Lamb who was slain!
Now ever pray for us
Who commemorate your holy memory!
Troparion of the Virgin Martyrs ― Tone 4
In their sufferings, O Lord, / Thy martyrs received imperishable crowns from Thee our God; / for, possessed of Thy might, / they set at nought the tormentors and crushed the feeble audacity of the demons.// By their supplications save Thou our souls.
Ἀπολυτίκιο. Ἁγίες ΜΗΝΟΔΏΡΑ, ΜΗΤΡΟΔΏΡΑ καὶ ΝΥΜΦΟΔΏΡΑ ― Ἦχος α’. Τοὺς τρεῖς μεγίστους φωστῆρας
Τᾶς τρεῖς ἐνδόξους Παρθένους καὶ Ἀθληφόρους θεόφρονας, τὰς συνδεδεμένας ἐνθέως, ἀδελφικῇ οἰκειότητι, τὰς καλλιρόους πηγὰς τῆς εὐσέβειας, τὰς ἀναβλυζούσας, μαρτυρικῶν ἀγώνων χάριν ἀέναον, τὴν θείαν Μηνοδώραν, καὶ τὴν Μητροδώραν τὴν ἔνδοξον, σὺν τῇ κλυτῇ Νυμφοδώρᾳ, τῇ ἐν πᾶσι καρτερόφρονι, πάντες οἱ τρυφῶντες τῶν ἄθλων αὐτῶν, συνδραμόντες ὕμνοις τιμήσωμεν· αὐταὶ γὰρ τῇ Τριάδι, ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἀεὶ πρεσβεύουσι.
Troparion of St FINIAN ― Tone 8
Having been nourished in the faith at Candida Casa, O holy Finian,/ thou didst return to thy native Ireland as the sower of seed which bore fruit an hundred-fold./ In thy love and wisdom intercede with our merciful Creator/ that He will so nourish us with true faith and piety, devoting ourselves only to Him,/ that we may receive the reward of the righteous.
Apolytikion of St ISAIAH ― Tone 1
You have become the first renowned builder of Kykkos, all-blessed Father Isaiah, and you greatly enriched it, with she who bears the form of Eleousa, the august work of the sacred Luke, from the City by divine will, and to you we ascribe praise: Glory to Christ Who glorified you, glory to Him Who does wonders, on behalf of your children forever, do intercede thrice-blessed one.

Kontakion of the NATIVITY of the Theotokos ― Tone 4
Joachim and Anna were freed from the reproach of childlessness/ and Adam and Eve from the corruption of death, O Immaculate One, by thy holy nativity./ And thy people, redeemed from the guilt of sin,/ celebrate thy birth by crying to thee:/ The barren woman gives birth to the Mother of God and the nurse of our life.
Kontakion of the Virgin Martyrs ― Tone 4
You endured suffering for the Trinity/ and as sisters united in spirit you defeated the enemy's guile./ You have entered heaven with the five virgins and with Angels stand before the King.
Kontakion of the Virgin Martyrs ― Tone 4
Invincible in your struggles for the Holy Trinity,
And through your love for each other as sisters,
You defeated the foe of your spiritual life,
And with the five virgins, entered victoriously into the Heavenly Mansions
Where you ever rejoice with the angels in the presence of the King of All!
Kontakion of the Virgin Martyrs ― Tone 4 "Having been lifted up"
Clad as sisters in the Spirit, / ye who contended with endurance for the Trinity/ have vanquished the greatly cunning enemy; / wherefore, ye have made your abode with the five virgins in the heavenly bridal chamber, O passion-bearers,// and with the angels ye stand in unceasing gladness before the King of all.
Κοντάκιον Ἁγίες ΜΗΝΟΔΏΡΑ, ΜΗΤΡΟΔΏΡΑ καὶ ΝΥΜΦΟΔΏΡΑ ― Ἦχος δ’. Ὁ ὑψωθεῖς ἐν τῷ Σταυρῷ
Ὑπὲρ Τριάδος καρτερῶς ἐναθλοῦσαι, τὸν πολυμήχανον ἐχθρὸν ἐτροπώσασθε, ἀδελφικῶς τῷ πνεύματι συνδούμεναι· ὅθεν εἰσῳκίσθητε, σὺν ταῖς πέντε παρθένοις, εἰς τὸν ἐπουράνιον, Ἀθληφόροι νυμφῶνα, καὶ σὺν Ἀγγέλοις τῷ Παμβασιλεῖ, ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ, ἀπαύστως παρίστασθε.
Kontakion of St ISAIAH ― Tone 4
The mountain of Kykkos you sanctified Father, by your ascetic conduct and struggles, and you prepared a throne for the Mother of God, the august icon, bearing the form of Eleousa, wondrously painted by Luke, and you now intercede before the Good One, O Isaiah, for those who honor you.
