St Euphemia the Great Martyr…

commemorated: Sept 16

“With the streams of your blood you ever make a deluge for the ungodly, O most praised martyr of Christ; and ever watering the noetic meadows with showers of grace, you produce the grain of faith therein. Wherefore, even after your repose you have most gloriously been shown to be a cloud pouring forth a witness to Life. O all praised passion bearer, entreat Christ God, that He grant remission of transgressions unto those who honor your holy memory with love.”
