HYMN OF PRAISE SAINT PHOTINA, THE SAMARITAN WOMAN The Samaritan Woman met Christ at the well, And was enlightened with the light of Christ, Himself. Under Nero, her life she ended in another well, And her spirit she gave to Christ God, her Lord. Her glorious sons were Victor and Josiah, Both, the saintly mother enlightened with holiness. Five sisters suffered for the Name of Christ, With her were translated to heaven, their reward to receive. O, penitent Photina, wonderful sufferer, How your countenance with eternal light now glows. At one time, not even water did you give to the Savior, Finally, even your blood for Him, you shed. Your soul at one time darkened, while yet a Samaritan you were, When you became a Christian, above the suns rays, you shown. In Sychar, you proclaimed Christ with fear, In the center of Rome, by your death you witnessed to Him. Love, every fear, destroys and makes one a hero, O, Photina, love, forever, glorified you. Two or three Romes, can Nero burn down But the soul of Christians cannot burn. The vessels of clay, Nero can smash But, over the spirit of Photina, did not have any power. O, immortal saint, help us now, By your prayers, before the Throne of Christ the Savior.
