From above, O Reverend,/ you received spiritual grace,/ and from Him you were known, O blessed one,/ For this reason, you also knew in spirit that you are better than Him,/ stay of the future age, / and having experienced fasting in their abodes. / And now, rejoicing with the angels, / I prayed for the salvation of everyone for us, Saint Demetrius, and we all cry out: / Glory to Him who gave You are a fortress, / glory to Him who crowned you, / glory to Him who heals you all.
