Oikos of Saint Barbara

Together let us venerate the memory of

Barbara, whose martyrdom was united to that

of Christ her Bridegroom; so that delivered by

her prayers from sin, famine, earthquake, and

destruction, we may live out our lives in

peace, and attain to the abode of light in the

company of all the saints who were well

pleasing to the Lord throughout the ages; then

we shall be able to sing with her, “O Savior,

You have brought about marvels of love for all

Your faithful who confess: I worship God in

Three Persons!"
