This Martyr practiced the ascetic discipline in Nisibis of Mesopotamia; she was
of such great beauty that the report of her came to the persecutor
Selenus, and every attempt was made to make her deny Christ. After
many horrible tortures, she was cruelly dismembered by the executioners,
then beheaded, in the year 310 (or, according to some, in 302, during
the reign of Diocletian).
Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone:
O Lord Jesus, unto Thee Thy lamb doth cry with a great voice: O my Bridegroom,
Thee I love; and seeking Thee, I now contest, and with Thy baptism am crucified
and buried. I suffer for Thy sake, that I may reign with Thee; for Thy sake
I die, that I may live in Thee: accept me offered out of longing to Thee
as a spotless sacrifice. Lord, save our souls through her intercessions,
since Thou art great in mercy.
Kontakion in the
Third Tone:
In ascetic discipline, thou wast made fair as a virgin; then, O famed Febronia,
thou shonest forth as a martyr; with thy lamp in hand, thou rannest unto thy
Bridegroom, having watched through the night of martyric sufferings. And since
thou art crowned in glory, thou intercedest for them that praise thee with
faith.
