Martyr Theotime

Commemorated on May 19.

There is very little information about Saint Theotime (Θεοτίμη) except that she was beheaded ca. 311, thereby receiving an incorruptible crown from Christ.

Troparion

Your lamb Theotime* 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 all-revered temple to be a source of healing for our souls,
we the faithful cry out to you with a loud voice:
"O greatly renowned martyr Theotime,
entreat Christ God unceasingly on behalf of us all."
