By your virtues, as with the rays of the sun, you enlightened the pagan sages;
and like the brightest moon for those who walk at night,
you drove away the darkness of unbelief, and led the Empress to faith;
you also rebuked the tyrant, and you were called by God as His bride, O blessed Katherine.
With love you ascended to the heavenly Bridal Chamber of the most comely Bridegroom Christ,
by Whom you were crowned with a royal crown.
Now standing before Him with the Angels, pray for us who honor your holy memory.
🎶kontakion🎶
Let all those who with inspiration love the martyrs
now form a great choir to honor the most wise Katherine,
for in the arena she proclaimed Christ and trampled the serpent,
revealing the knowledge of the orators as despicable.
