Great Martyr Marina (Margaret) of Antioch - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 5

(Podoben: “Let us worship the Word...”)
O glorious Marina, once betrothed to the Word, / you renounced all worldly concerns and struggled as a beautiful virgin. / You soundly trounced the invisible Enemy who appeared to you, O Champion, / and now you are a wellspring of healing grace for the world.

Kontakion — Tone 3

(Podoben: “Today the Virgin...”)
Adorned with the perfection of chastity, O virgin Marina, / you were crowned with an imperishable crown, / and reddened with the blood of martyrdom, / you were illumined by miracles of healing, O Martyr, / and devoutly you received the honors of your victorious martyrdom.

Kontakion — Tone 3

Today Marina crushes the head of the Enemy,1 / having received a crown of victory from Heaven, / she bound and struck the one whom the Prophets could not restrain. / Therefore, she became an adornment of the Martyrs, / as well as their glory.
