VocaMe - Kassia - Christina martys - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

This is the third Sticheron for St. Christina and like the others is chanted during the Morning Office of July 24th. Kassia's text is beautifully written and is sung to a simple setting. In her lyrics Kassia demonstrates her vast knowledge of Scriptures and again vindicates women by using the model of Christina, who fought those who represented the darkness of the world by dressing herself with God's armor and protected herself by holding the Cross.

Translation:

Christina, the Martyr, holding the cross in her hand as a mighty weapon, with faith as a breast plate, hope as a shield, love as bow. bravely overcame the punishments of her oppressors, divinely defeated the evilness of the demons: although beheaded, you are glorified in Christ, unceasingly interceding on behalf of our souls.
