The Holy Martyr Victoria of Rome (of Solun)

(Official translations are not yet available in English)

 

Tropariontone 4: Агница Твоя, Иисусе, Виктория / зовет велиим гласом: / Тебе, Женише мой, люблю, / и, Тебе ищущи, страдальчествую, / и сраспинаюся, и спогребаюся Крещению Твоему, / и стражду Тебе ради, / яко да царствую в Тебе, / и умираю за Тя, да и живу с Тобою, / но яко жертву непорочную, приими мя, с любовию пожершуюся Тебе. / Тоя молитвами, / яко Милостив, спаси души наша.

 

 Kontakiontone 2: Храм Твой всечестный яко цельбу душевную обретше, / вси вернии велегласно вопием ти, / дево мученице Викторие, великоименитая, / Христа Бога моли непрестанно о всех нас.

 

Archbishop Sergii (Spassky), Complete Menaion of the East [Polnyi mesiatsoslov vostoka] (Moscow, 1875-1876; 2nd edition; Vladimir, 1901-1902, in 2 vols.; and reprinted in 1997), mentions four holy martyrs of the ancient Church with the name Victoria.

 

The patron saint of Empress-in-Exile Victoria Feodorovna and of H.S.H. Princess Victoria Romanovna, fiancée of the H.I.H. The Heir, Tsesarevich, and Grand Duke George of Russia, is the Holy Martyr Victoria of Rome (of Solun), who is commemorated by the Holy Orthodox Church on June 1/14.

 

A detailed vita for Holy Martyr Victoria of Rome (of Solun) has not survived and little is known about her life. It is traditionally believed that St. Victoria of Rome suffered for her faith in Christ during the reign of Emperor Decius (249-251) or Emperor Diocletian (284-305).
