Menodora, Metrodora, & Nymphodora the Martyrs

Reading
These Martyrs, sisters according to the flesh, were from
Bithynia. They lived in virginity on a mountain near the
Pythian hot springs of Bithynia, devoting themselves to
asceticism and prayer. Betrayed to the local governor,
Fronto, they were subjected to frightful tortures, and so gave
up their holy souls into the hands of God. They contested for
the Faith during the reign of Maximian, in the year 304.

Apolytikion of Martyrs Menodora, Metrodora &


Nymphodora

Plagal of the Fourth Tone


The image of God, was faithfully preserved in you, O
Mother. For you took up the Cross and followed Christ. By
Your actions you taught us to look beyond the flesh for it
passes, rather to be concerned about the soul which is
immortal. Wherefore, O Holy Menodora, your soul rejoices
with the angels.
