Martyr Natalius
Commemorated May 30
The Holy Martyrs Natalia and Salonus were beheaded by the sword for confessing faith in Christ, not later than the IV Century.
Troparion
Thy martyr, O Lord, Natalius, through his suffering, an incorruptible crown did obtain from Thee, our God; for, rejoicing in Thy strength, he laid low his tormentors and did beat off impotent affronts of the demons also; at his intercessions save our souls.
Kontakion
Thou hast appeared as a bright star, uninviting for the world, but a sun announcing Christ with thy rays, O martyr Natalius; all the enchantment hast thou extinguished and grantest unto us light, supplicating incessantly for us all.
