The Holy Martyrs Pelagia, Theodosia and Dula
Commemorated March 25
These three holy women suffered for the Lord. Pelagia and Theodosia were slain with the sword after imprisonment and torture, but St Dula, a slave, suffered alone and died in the city of Nicomedia. God transplanted His three white roses, stained with the blood of martyrdom, into His heavenly garden.
Troparion
Through the sufferings of Thy saints which they did endure for Thy sake, be moved, O Lord, and all our infirmities cure, Thou, O Lover of man, we implore Thee.
Kontakion
Having appeared as bright lamps, ye, O divine martyrs, enlighten the whole creation with the shine of your miracles, releasing from maladies, ever driving away the profound darkness and supplicating continually Christ the God for us all.
