The Significance of Saint Zenobia

Saint Zenobia was brought up in the Christian faith along with her brother, Zenobius. Eventually, the two were martyred together. Zenobia and Zenobius were Christians because of their parents. The four of them were strong in their faith. The problem is, they were alive during a time of heavy Christian persecution at the hands of the Roman Empire. Zenobius was a physician and healed many in God’s name. Zenobia also openly practiced her faith. The pair were taken by the governor Lysias for their beliefs. They were tortured and then beheaded.

Hymns of Saint Zenobia Saint Zenobia’s feast day is on October 30th of each year. Here are the hymns that are chanted or sung on this day.

Apolytikion of Martyrs Zenobius & Zenobia – Fourth Tone

Thy Martyrs, O Lord, in their courageous contest for Thee received as the prize the crowns of incorruption and life from Thee, our immortal God. For since they possessed Thy strength, they cast down the tyrants and wholly destroyed the demons’ strengthless presumption. O Christ God, by their prayers, save our souls, since Thou art merciful.
