Sunday of the Samaritan Woman

Saint Photini (the Samaritan Woman)

Troparion (Tone 3)
Thou wast illumined by the Holy Spirit and refreshed by the streams of Christ the Saviour. Having drunk the Water of Salvation thou didst give copiously to the thirsty. O holy Great Martyr Photini, Equal-to-the Apostles, entreat Christ our God that our souls may be saved.

Let Heaven and earth

radiantly rejoice today,

for Christ hath appeared

as a man in the flesh,

that He might deliver

from the curse

the whole race of Adam;

and when he came

to Samaria,

He was made

wondrous by wonders.

He that is compassed

about by the waters

of the clouds

standeth nigh

unto a woman

and seeketh water.

Wherefore, let all us

the faithful

worship Him,

Who of His own will

became poor

for our sake

in His compassionate counsel.

--Great Vespers, Sunday of the Samaritan Woman, Pentecostarion
