Commemoration of the Miracle (451) of Great-martyr EUPHEMIA the All-praised, of Chalcedon (+304). Blessed Equal-to-the-Apostles OLHA, princess of Kyiv, in holy baptism called HELEN (69).

Rom. 12, 6-14 2 Cor. 6, 1-10 Mt. 9, 1-8 Lk. 7, 36-50 PROPERS FOR THE DIVINE LITURGY:

Resurrection Tropar, Tone 5 Let us, the faithful, praise and worship the Word, co-eternal with the Father and the Spirit, born for our salvation of the Virgin. In His Good Will He was lifted up on the Cross in the flesh to suffer death and to raise the dead by His glorious Resurrection.

Tropar of the church, Tone 1 In giving birth, you preserved your virginity. In falling asleep you did not forsake the world, Birth-Giver of God. You were translated to life, Mother of Life, and through your prayers you deliver our souls from death.

Tropar of the saint, Tone 1 Having fixed your mind with the wings of divine understanding, you flew to the One Who surpasses visible creation. Having found God, the Creator of All, you received rebirth through Baptism. Ever Glorious Ol’ha, you satisfied yourself with the Tree of Life and abide forever incorrupt.

Glory… Kondak of the Resurrection, Tone 5 You descended into Hades, my Saviour, destroying its gates as the Almighty, resurrecting the dead as Creator and destroying the sting of death. You have delivered Adam from the curse, Lover of all Mankind. Therefore, we all cry out to You: Lord, save us.

Now and ever… Bohorodychnyi, Tone 5 Rejoice, Impassible Gateway of the Lord. Rejoice, Wall and Protection for those who take refuge in you. Rejoice, Haven untroubled by storms. Rejoice, you who have not known wedlock, yet gave birth in the flesh to your Creator and God. Fail not in your prayers on behalf of those who venerate and praise your birth-giving.

Prokimen, Tone 5 You, O Lord, shall protect us and preserve us from this generation forever. Verse: O Lord, save me for there is no longer any righteous man.

Alleluia verses, Tone 5 Of Your mercies O Lord, I will sing forever; unto generation and generation I will proclaim Your truth with my mouth. You have said: Mercy will be established forever and My truth will be prepared in the heavens.
