Kontakion of Martyr Anastasia


Third Tone

Made most pure, O righteous one, with chaste virginity's waters, and washed in
martyric blood, O Anastasia, thou grantest unto those in need the healing of every
illness, and to those who come with love thou grantest salvation; for the well-
spring of unfailing grace, even Christ God, bestoweth power on thee.
