Like the stars that shone brightly from youth, / illuminated the natural hearts of the faithful with the presentation of your honorable relics, / in the flesh, like Angels appeared on earth, / by nourishing the plantings quickly,/ like trees by the waters of temperance,/ water the streams of your tears, and wash away the filth./ For this reason the friend of God's Spirit appeared,/ to Theodora, and David, and Constantine, // pray to Christ God to save our souls.
