Troparion

(Podoben: “Joseph was amazed...”)
Your lamb Potamia,
calls out to You, O Jesus, in a loud voice:
“I love You, my Bridegroom,
and in seeking You, I endure suffering.
In baptism I was crucified so that I might reign in You,
and I died so that I might live with You.
Accept me as a pure sacrifice,
for I have offered myself in love.”
Through her prayers save our souls, since You are merciful.

Kontakion

(Podoben: “You sought the heights...”)
Finding your most revered temple to be a source of healing for our souls,
we the faithful cry out to You with a loud voice:
“O most renowned Virgin Martyr Potamia,
entreat Christ God unceasingly on behalf of us all.”
