The Holy Martyr Sabbas Stratelates

Shown to be an invincible athlete,
thou didst overcome the wiles of the barbarians, O glorious one,
and having contended most steadfastly,
thou didst vanquish a multitude of the invisible fœ.
Wherefore, thou hast woven a wreath of victory.
Entreat Christ, O most blessed Sabbas,
in behalf of us who honor thee with faith.
