Saints and Martyrs

December 15 – St. Nino (Św. Krystyna)

Św. Krystyno, jaśniejąca anielską czystością, a wśród ucisków wierna Chrystusowi! Wyproś nam u Boga tę łaskę, abyśmy zwyciężali wszelakie pokusy do grzechu, a w miłości Bożej wzrastając, wysłużyli sobie oglądanie Boga w niebiosach. Przez Chrystusa Pana naszego. Amen.

St. Nino, wmida nino

O all-praised and wonderful equal of the Apostles Nina. truly great adornment of the Orthodox Church and great boast of the people of Iberia, thou who didst enlighten the whole land of Georgia with the divine teachings, and with apostolic deeds didst defeat the enemy of our salvation, by labour and prayer thou didst plant there a vineyard of Christ and increase its fruit many-fold Celebrating thy holy memory, we approach thy holy image and with reverence kiss the miracle-working cross, the highly praised gift to thee from the Mother of God, which thou hast encircled with thy clear hair, and tenderly ask thee, as our constant intercessor: protect us from all evil and sorrows, and from the opponent of piety guard thy flock which hath been saved by thee, and beseech our all-good God and Saviour, before Whom thou art now standing, that He may grant us peace and many years, and that the Lord may bring us into His kingdom, where all the saints praise His holy name, both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
