TROPARION
Martyr Juliana of Nicomedia, Troparion, Tone IV —
Thy ewe-lamb Juliana crieth out to Thee with a loud voice, O Jesus:/ "I love Thee, O my Bridegroom,/ and, seeking Thee, I pass through many struggles:/ I am crucified and buried with Thee in Thy baptism,/ and suffer for Thy sake, that I may reign with Thee;/ I die for Thee that I might live with Thee./ As an unblemished sacrifice accept me,/ who sacrifice myself with love for Thee// By her supplications save Thou our souls, in that Thou art merciful.
Troparion of the Forefeast, Tone IV —
Make ready, O Bethlehem!/ Open unto all, O Eden!/ Adorn thyself, O Ephratha!/ For the Tree of life hath blossomed forth from the Virgin in the cave./ Her womb is shown to be a noetic paradise,/ wherein lieth a divine garden,/ eating from whence we live,/ not dying like Adam.// Christ is born to raise up His image which before was fallen.
Kontakion of the Martyr, Tone III "Today the Virgin —
Rendered wholly pure by the beauties of virginity,/ and having now been crowned with wreaths of martyrdom, O virgin Juliana,/ thou grantest healing and salvation/ unto those in need and affliction who approach thy shrine, for Christ poureth forth divine grace and life everlasting.
Kontakion of the Forefeast, Tone II "Seeking the highest" —
Beholding Him Who holdeth the whole world in His hands/ wrapped in swaddling-bands in Bethlehem,/ let us offer up hymns of the forefeast to her who gave birth to Him;/ for she rejoiceth maternally,// holding the Son of God at her bosom.
