Saint Elizabeth was born in Heraclea of Thrace. She lived in virginity and exhausted
herself with ascetical labours and every kind of hardship from the
time of her youth, and was deemed worthy of the grace of wonderworking
from God; she reposed in peace in Constantinople in the middle of the
fifth century.
Apolytikion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone:
In thee the image was preserved with exactness, O Mother; for taking up thy
cross, thou didst follow Christ, and by thy deeds thou didst teach us to
overlook the flesh, for it passeth away, but to attend to the soul since
it is immortal. Wherefore, O righteous Elizabeth, thy spirit rejoiceth with
the Angels.
Kontakion in the
Plagal of the Fourth Tone:
As a fair house of virtues and a temple of virginity, thou makest miracles
pour forth abundantly as an unfailing fount of grace; and thou purgest all
sickness from the body and soul, O Mother Elizabeth, for them that praise the
Maker while crying out: Alleluia.
