Troparion
Greek usage (Tone Plagal 1)
- Let us praise the all-lauded and noble bride of Christ,
- the godly Catherine, the guardian of Sinai and its defense,
- who is also our support and succour and our help;
- for with the Holy Spirit's sword
- she hath silenced brilliantly the clever among the godless;
- and being crowned as a martyr, she now doth ask great mercy for us all.
Slavic usage (Tone 4)
- Thy lamb Catherine, O Jesus,
- Calls out to thee in a loud voice:
- I love thee, O my bridegroom,
- And in seeking thee, I endure suffering.
- In baptism I was crucified so that I might reign in thee,
- And died so that I might live with thee.
- Accept me as a pure sacrifice,
- For I have offered myself in love.
- By her prayers save our souls, since thou art merciful. Here is the Link of the Hagiography of St. Catherine of Alexandria, which Feast was celebrated yesterday.
