With virtues, like the rays of the sun, / you enlightened the unfaithful sages. / And, like the bright moon, you drove away the darkness of unbelief, / and You assured the queen,/ at the same time you also exposed the tormentor,/ the blessed bride Catherine, the God-called,/ you ascended with desire into the Heavenly chamber/ to the beautiful Bridegroom Christ,/ and from Him you were crowned with a royal crown:/ To Him, with the angels standing,/ praying for us, // creating your honorable memory.
