“Do not think that you will easily exploit my frailty, turning me to wickedness and impiety by your enticements. Although I am a woman by nature, by heart is more manly than yours, and the power of my faith is greater than any power you possess."
- Virgin-martyr Euphemia, † 16 September 303...
Being born into a wealthy family of governor of Tyre,
They destined you to be the priestess of the pagan gods.
But in the solitude you burned with love for the Creator like a fire,
From lofty dwelling-place beholding nature, traces of Unknown God.
You smashed the idols of your fearsome father...
There was in Antioch a holy martyr,
Who glorified the Holy Trinity on earth.
She beat the devil in the prison of the prefect’s quarter,
She’s young Marina, virgin of great worth.
Deprived of mother in the age of infant,
But raised by wet-nurse in the holy faith,
Your father, hearing ‘Christ,’...
Poem for two saints who both are named Thais of Egypt. Their life story is quite similar with some differences.
Praise be to God for you, o Saint Thais!
You have rejected sin through ardent penance,
Acquiring purity and virtue as it is,
Through narrow path of vigilant repentance.
And burning...
Praise be to God for you, o virgin-martyr Parasceva,
You bravely faced the Antoninus’ wrath.
Praiseworthy champion of Christian era,
You’ve defeated Lucifer, the enemy of God
You are the pious daughter of God-fearing parents,
Who championed the cause of the poor.
They passed you love for virtue...
Rejoice, Irene, fair-looking holy virgin-martyr,
Your preaching turned so many godless unto Christ.
His message moved the worldly masses into upstir,
Since foolishness for them was the Messiah's Cross.
Accompanied by thirteen fellow virgins in tranquility of pillar,
In luxury you lived...
Saint Anastasia
How great is God in life of saint Anastasía!
Whose heroism defeated vicious pride of Ulpian.
Praiseworthy is her Needy’s Care with friend Theodotía,
As well as Christian martyrdom by will of Diocletian.
You blossomed up as balmy, florid lily
In desert land of heathen and...
Also dedicated to my Russian friend Tatiana
Saint Tatiana
Hail, o thou holy virgin-martyr Tatiana,
Through you God shamed the proud jurist Ulpian,
Destroying idols, temples and the pagan priests,
Expelling devils in the reign of snooty king Severus Alexander.
A Christian raised you up, you...
Saint Hermione
Eternal memory to you, o blessed Hermione,
You manfully withstood all evil done to you by Trajan,
To him predicting victory over the Parthian empire.
Steadfastly you endured the rage of evil Hadrianus.
A virtuous daughter of the noble deacon Philip,
The Holy Spirit conferred you...
For the Holy Trinity
Life is buried in the tomb,
And risen up again in glory,
To grant His Life to humankind,
To snatch from hell the fallen Adam.
The Son of God and Son of Man,
He was betrayed for 30 coins,
He humbly stood before the evil judges,
And paid the prize of sins that we committed...
