You transformed the glory of the earthly reign/ into a humble image of monasticism,/ and instead of visible enemies/ you took up arms against the invisible ones,/ and the victor appears to both in beauty,/ You alone appeared from the wonderworker of the Pechersks;/ Moreover, you also asked for the gift of God’s zeal for us,/ enlightened our hearts with brotherly love// and our path to eternal salvation, blessed Theodora, direct.
