Prayers
Apolytikion: O Glorious Marina, once betrothed to the Logos, you relinquished all worldly concerns and brilliantly gave struggle as a virginal beauty. You soundly trounced the invisible enemy who appeared to you, O Champion, and you are now the world’s wellspring of healing grace.
Kontakion: Adorned with the beauty of Purity, O Virgin; Crowned with the stigmata of Martyrdom; stained with the blood of your struggles; and brilliantly radiant with Healing Wonders, piously, O Marina, you received the trophy of Victory for your struggles.
Hymn: You the noetic swallow, and uncorrupted lamb, and golden shining dove, were winged through your Martyrdom, and flew to God to ever rest with Him, Whom we praise.
Apolytikion: O Lord Jesus, unto Thee Thy lamb doth cry with a great voice: O my Bridegroom, Thee I love; and seeking Thee, I now contest, and with Thy baptism am crucified and buried. I suffer for Thy sake, that I may reign with Thee; for Thy sake I die, that I may live in Thee: accept me offered out of longing to Thee as a spotless sacrifice. Lord, save our souls through her intercessions, since Thou art great in mercy.
