"You traveled the road of struggle..."

St. Barbara the Great Martyr (source)

You traveled the road of struggle, fleeing the will of your father, O all-honored Barbara, and as a wise Virgin, you entered into the courts of your Lord bearing a lamp, and with manliness as a Martyr, you received grace to heal the brutal maiming of the flesh. And, for those who hymn you, grant deliverance from pains of soul through your intercessions to God.

-Doxastikon of the Praises in Plagal of the Second Tone, by John the Monk.

Through the prayers of our Holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us! Amen!
