Our righteous Mother Hilda was of noble birth, being a kinswoman of Saint Edwin,
King of Northumbria (celebrated Oct. 12). At the age of thirty-three
she renounced the world, and lived another thirty-three years as a
nun and abbess. The last six years of her life she suffered a burning
fever with patience and nobility, and reposed in peace in the year
680.
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 Hilda, thy
spirit rejoiceth with the Angels.
Kontakion in the First Tone:
For three and thirty years in the world, chaste and modest, for three
and thirty years as a righteous monastic, thou camest, O Hilda, unto
Christ's stature, and perfect man; and on being cleansed through
grievous bodily sickness, thou wast taken up in light and glory to
Heaven, Where thou dost pray God for us.
