As a flaming arrow You were sent from on high
To the throne of Taormina to wound godless impiety
And to illumine the hearts of the faithful,
Confirming them in the faith through the word of God.
And having completed your course You did suffer unto bloodshed.
O Hieromartyr Pancratius, pray for all who praise your memory.
