Anastasia the Martyr of Rome

Reading from the Synaxarion:

Saint Anastasia, who was young in age and lived in a convent, was
seized by the impious. Confessing Christ openly and with boldness and
enduring manifold torments, she was beheaded in the year 256, during the
reign of Valerian.

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
Made most pure, O righteous one, with chaste virginity's waters, and
washed in martyric blood, O Anastasia, thou grantest unto those in need
the healing of every illness, and to those who come with love thou
grantest salvation; for the well-spring of unfailing grace, even Christ
God, bestoweth power on thee.
