Saint Etheldreda of Ely - Troparion & Kontakion

Troparion — Tone 8

In you, O Mother, was preserved with exactness what is according to the image; / for you took up the Cross and followed Christ. / By so doing, you taught us to disregard the flesh, for it passes away; / but to care for the soul, since it is immortal. / Therefore, O Venerable Etheldreda, your spirit rejoices with the Angels.

Kontakion — Tone 2

(Podoben: “Having received the grace of healing...”)1
Having discarded a bed for rest, for the sake of your love for God, O Mother Etheldreda, / and illuminating your spirit with fasting, / you have completely vanquished your enemies; / and by your intercessions you destroyed the evil schemes of our adversaries.
