TROPARION
Troparion of Anysia & Melania, in Tone IV —
Having righteously accomplished the path of virtue,/ thou wast betrothed to God the Word, O revered Anysia, and thou didst contest rejoicingly. And as one made illustrious by the light of dispassion, O Melania, thou didst shine forth with the rays of virtue upon the world. And now ye both beseech Christ the Lord that He be gracious unto us.
Kontakion of Anysia & Melania, in Tone III —
Like a lamp of two lights, verily ye shine upon the Church of Christ with a mystical radiance. O Anysia, thou didst bring forth fruit a hundredfold in martyric contest, and thou, O Melania, didst shine forth in asceticism. Wherefore, ye were deemed worthy of the incorruptible and blessed life.
Troparion of the Feast, Tone IV —
Thy nativity, O Christ our God,/ hath shone forth the light of knowledge upon the world;/ for therein those who worship the stars/ have been taught by a star to worship Thee,/ the Sun of righteousness,/ and to know Thee the Orient from on high.// O Lord, glory be to Thee!
Kontakion of the Feast, Tone III —
Today the Virgin giveth birth unto the Transcendent One,/ and the earth offereth a cave to the unapproachable One./ Angels and shepherds give glory,/ the magi journey with the star.// For unto us a Child is born, the preeternal God.
