(Martyr Charitina)
Thy lamb Charitina, calls out to Thee, O Jesus, in a loud voice: “I love Thee, my Bridegroom, and in seeking Thee, I endure suffering. In baptism I was crucified so that I might reign in Thee, and I died so that I might live with Thee. Accept me as a pure sacrifice, for I have offered myself in love.”//Through her prayers save our souls, since Thou art merciful!

Having fortified thy soul with faith and strengthened by understanding thou didst openly put the enemy to shame, O Charitina; thou didst stand before Christ wearing a robe empurpled by thy blood, O All-blessed One, and now thou rejoicest with the Angels,// praying for us, O passionbearer.
