"As an imitator of the Merciful One, you received the grace of healing from Him, O Passion-Bearer and martyr of Christ. Heal our spiritual diseases by your intercessions and always dispel the snares of the enemy, from them who with faith cry out: save us, O Lord!"[9] - ^ "At Constantinople, blessed Anthusa, a virgin. Under Constantine Copronymus, after being scourged and banished, she rested in the Lord."[8]
